AWS Cloud Migration – Complete Application Migration Service
Course Description
AWS Cloud Migration – Complete Application Migration Service is a comprehensive, hands-on training program designed to teach cloud engineers, architects, and IT professionals how to migrate applications to AWS using the Amazon Application Migration Service (MGN). This course walks you through the full migration lifecycle—from discovery and planning to replication, cutover, testing, and post-migration optimization—using AWS best practices and real-world workflows.
You will learn how to use AWS MGN to lift-and-shift applications with minimal downtime, automate replication, manage large-scale migrations, and modernize workloads once they are running in the AWS cloud. The course also covers key topics such as migration readiness, security, networking, performance optimization, rollback strategies, and integrating migrated workloads with cloud-native services.
Through step-by-step demonstrations and guided labs, you will gain the practical skills required to confidently migrate servers, virtual machines, applications, and legacy environments into AWS using modern migration tooling and methodologies.
