Project scope

What is the main goal for this project?

The project involves migrating a software application from its current cloud service provider to a new provider. Students will be tasked with assessing the existing infrastructure, planning the migration strategy, executing the migration process, and validating the application's functionality post-migration. The goal is to ensure a seamless transition while optimizing performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

  1. Current Infrastructure Assessment: Evaluate the existing application architecture, dependencies, configurations, and performance metrics on the current cloud provider.
  2. Migration Plan: Develop a comprehensive migration plan outlining the steps, timelines, resource requirements, and risk mitigation strategies for transitioning the application to the new cloud provider.
  3. Migration Execution: Implement the migration plan, including provisioning resources, transferring data, reconfiguring settings, and testing functionality to ensure a smooth transition.
  4. Post-Migration Validation: Conduct thorough testing and validation to verify the application's performance, functionality, and data integrity on the new cloud provider.
  5. Documentation and Reporting: Provide detailed documentation covering the migration process, configuration changes, troubleshooting procedures, and lessons learned. Present a comprehensive report summarizing the project's objectives, methodologies, challenges, and outcomes.


How will you support learners in completing the project?


  1. Technical Guidance: Assign experienced cloud architects and engineers as mentors to guide students in understanding the application's architecture, cloud technologies, and migration best practices.
  2. Infrastructure Analysis: Provide access to the existing infrastructure and relevant documentation to help students analyze the application's current state and identify potential challenges and opportunities for optimization.
  3. Migration Strategy Support: Offer insights into selecting the most suitable cloud provider, choosing appropriate services, estimating resource requirements, and designing a scalable and cost-effective migration strategy.
  4. Hands-On Assistance: Collaborate with students during the migration process, offering technical support, troubleshooting assistance, and real-time feedback to overcome obstacles and ensure successful execution.
  5. Performance Evaluation: Review the migrated application's performance metrics, analyze optimization opportunities, and provide recommendations for further enhancements to maximize efficiency and cost savings.
