For the migration of Oracle/MSSQL to the AWS cloud, there are popular alternative databases such as Amazon Aurora, Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) and Amazon Redshift. Amazon Aurora is a relational database compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL that was developed for the cloud and offers high performance and availability. Amazon RDS supports various database engines such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server and MariaDB and provides managed database services. Amazon Redshift is a fully managed data warehousing service that supports SQL queries and is optimized for analytical workloads.
HOW CAN WE PLAN THE HETEROGENEOUS MIGRATION FROM ON-PREMISES TO AWS CLOUD?
Planning a heterogeneous migration from on-premises to AWS Cloud involves several prerequisites and considerations. Prerequisites include assessing the current infrastructure, understanding application dependencies, selecting appropriate AWS services, ensuring data security and compliance, and determining a migration timeline. During migration, factors such as data transfer methods, application refactoring or replatforming, network connectivity, performance monitoring and testing must be considered. Post-migration checks include verifying data integrity, optimizing resource usage, updating documentation and implementing disaster recovery measures. Complicated? That’s exactly why you should contact us, because we will keep track of everything for you and find the right AWS migration strategy for you.
HOW CAN COMPANIES MANAGE MULTIPLE AWS ACCOUNTS WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION?
Managing multiple AWS accounts in your organization can be streamlined with AWS Organizations. With Organizations, you can centrally manage and govern multiple AWS accounts using features such as consolidated billing, access management, and policy enforcement. You can create a hierarchy of organizational units (OUs) to group accounts based on departments, teams, or applications. With Organizations, you can apply Service Control Policies (SCPs) to restrict access to specific AWS services or resources across accounts to ensure compliance and security. In addition, you can use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and cross-account access to manage permissions and resource sharing between accounts.
How to migrate / manage application shares hosted on premise to the AWS cloud?
You can use services such as AWS Storage Gateway, AWS DataSync or AWS Transfer Family to migrate/manage on-premises hosted application shares to the AWS cloud. The migration strategy includes assessing the data volume, selecting an appropriate migration tool, configuring network connectivity and performing the data transfer with minimal disruption. Real-world scenarios include migrating file shares, document storage or media files to Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) and integrating them with applications running on AWS.
What is Cloud Watch and how to use it?
CloudWatch is a monitoring and observation service provided by AWS. It collects and tracks metrics, logs and events from AWS resources and applications, enabling users to gain insights, troubleshoot issues and take automated actions. CloudWatch provides predefined metrics for various AWS services such as EC2, RDS, S3 and Lambda, as well as custom metrics and logs. Users can create alerts based on these metrics and trigger actions using the AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS), such as sending notifications or invoking AWS Lambda functions. We work with you to define a suitable monitoring system that includes, for example, resources and metrics to be monitored. Benefit from our many years of experience and do not hesitate to contact us.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COPY FILES FROM ON-PREMISES TO AWS S3?
The best way to copy files from on-premises to AWS S3 is to use AWS CLI (Command Line Interface) or AWS Management Console. With CLI, commands can be used to securely transfer files and directories to S3 buckets. The maximum size for a single file transfer to S3 is 5 TB, while there is no theoretical limit to the total size of the data. The transfer speed depends on factors such as network bandwidth, file size and availability of the S3 service. With the console, you can upload files directly via the web interface.
