Introduction
Course overview
Moving applications and infrastructure to the cloud can bring agility and cost benefits, but poorly planned migrations lead to overruns, outages and security gaps.
This Aractech course covers cloud strategy, application portfolio assessment, migration approaches, landing zone design, security and compliance, cost planning, migration execution, testing and cut-over, and post-migration optimisation. Participants build a migration plan for a case portfolio.
The course suits IT managers, architects and project managers.
