In this course we are going to perform a live migration of On-Prem VM to AWS cloud as an EC2 Instance.

while doing this we will also cover Migration strategy, the 6R of Migration.

A cloud migration is when a company/organisations moves some or all of its data center capabilities into the cloud, usually to run on the cloud-based infrastructure provided by a cloud service provider such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.

As more and more companies transitions to the cloud, cloud migrations are increasingly taking place within the cloud, as companies migrate between different cloud providers (aka cloud-to-cloud migration).

Benefits of Migrating to Cloud!!!

Scalability - cloud computing can scale to support larger workloads and more users, much more easily than on-premises infrastructure. In traditional IT environments, companies had to purchase and set up physical servers, software licenses, storage and network equipment to scale up business services.

Cost - cloud providers take over maintenance and upgrades, companies migrating to the cloud can spend significantly less on IT operations. They can devote more resources to innovation - developing new products or improving existing products.

Performance - migrating to the cloud can improve performance and end-user experience. Applications and websites hosted in the cloud can easily scale to serve more users or higher throughput, and can run in geographical locations near to end-users, to reduce network latency.

Customer experience - users can access cloud services and data from anywhere, whether they are employees or customers. This contributes to digital transformation, enables an improved experience for customers, and provides employees with modern, flexible tools
