This curriculum spans the equivalent of a multi-workshop technical engagement, covering the same breadth and sequence of activities as an end-to-end cloud migration program for complex web applications, from discovery and refactoring to governance and operational handover.

Module 1: Assessment and Discovery of Legacy Web Applications

  • Inventory and classify web applications based on usage patterns, dependencies, and business criticality to determine migration priority.
  • Conduct dependency mapping to identify integrations with databases, third-party APIs, internal services, and authentication systems.
  • Evaluate application architecture for statefulness, session management, and hardcoded configurations that impede cloud portability.
  • Assess compliance and data residency requirements that may restrict cloud region selection or data handling practices.
  • Engage application owners to validate uptime expectations and define acceptable downtime windows during migration.
  • Determine technical debt and code quality issues that may require refactoring prior to migration.

Module 2: Cloud Target Architecture Design

  • Select appropriate cloud deployment models (IaaS, PaaS, serverless) based on application characteristics and operational ownership preferences.
  • Design VPC topology, subnets, and routing rules to isolate web, application, and database tiers while enabling secure inter-tier communication.
  • Define auto-scaling policies and load balancing strategies aligned with traffic patterns and performance SLAs.
  • Integrate with centralized identity providers using federation (e.g., SAML, OIDC) for consistent access control.
  • Architect for high availability by distributing instances across availability zones and configuring health checks.
  • Plan for DNS cutover using TTL reduction and blue-green routing strategies to minimize user impact.

Module 3: Data Migration and Database Modernization

  • Choose between homogeneous and heterogeneous database migration tools based on source and target database engines.
  • Implement change data capture (CDC) to synchronize on-premises databases with cloud replicas during extended migration windows.
  • Convert legacy database schemas to leverage cloud-native features such as managed instances or read replicas.
  • Validate referential integrity and data consistency post-migration using checksums and reconciliation scripts.
  • Address latency-sensitive queries by optimizing connection pooling and selecting regionally proximate database instances.
  • Establish backup and point-in-time recovery mechanisms aligned with RPO and RTO requirements.

Module 4: Application Refactoring and Replatforming

  • Refactor monolithic applications to externalize session state into managed services like Redis or DynamoDB.
  • Replace hardcoded IP addresses and on-premises DNS entries with cloud service discovery mechanisms.
  • Containerize applications using Docker and orchestrate via Kubernetes when portability and scalability are critical.
  • Modify logging mechanisms to forward to centralized cloud logging services instead of local file systems.
  • Update configuration management to use cloud parameter stores or secrets managers instead of local config files.
  • Adjust retry logic and timeout settings to accommodate variable network conditions in cloud environments.

Module 5: Security, Compliance, and Identity Integration

  • Implement network security groups and web application firewalls (WAF) to restrict traffic to known patterns and block common exploits.
  • Enforce encryption at rest and in transit using managed key services and TLS termination at load balancers.
  • Integrate with enterprise IAM systems to synchronize user roles and enforce least-privilege access to cloud resources.
  • Conduct vulnerability scanning of migrated instances and containers to detect misconfigurations or outdated software.
  • Establish audit trails by enabling cloud provider logging and forwarding logs to SIEM systems for monitoring.
  • Align resource tagging policies with organizational compliance frameworks for cost tracking and access governance.

Module 6: Testing, Cutover, and Traffic Migration

  • Execute performance testing under simulated load to validate scalability and response times in the cloud environment.
  • Conduct end-to-end integration tests to confirm functionality of external service calls and API integrations.
  • Perform user acceptance testing (UAT) with business stakeholders to validate functional correctness post-migration.
  • Coordinate DNS cutover timing with global TTL expiration to ensure consistent resolution across user locations.
  • Implement blue-green deployment to route a subset of production traffic to the cloud instance before full cutover.
  • Establish rollback procedures, including DNS reversion and database sync reversal, in case of critical post-cutover defects.

Module 7: Post-Migration Optimization and Operations

  • Right-size compute instances based on actual CPU, memory, and I/O utilization observed in production.
  • Implement auto-remediation for common failure scenarios using health checks and automated instance replacement.
  • Configure cost allocation tags and set up budget alerts to monitor and control cloud spending.
  • Optimize storage tiers by moving infrequently accessed logs or backups to lower-cost object storage.
  • Refine monitoring dashboards to include business-relevant KPIs alongside infrastructure metrics.
  • Document runbooks and hand over operational responsibilities to support teams with clear escalation paths.

Module 8: Governance, Change Management, and Continuous Improvement

  • Establish a cloud center of excellence (CCoE) to standardize migration practices and enforce architectural guardrails.
  • Implement infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform or CloudFormation to ensure reproducible environments.
  • Conduct post-mortems after migration events to capture lessons learned and update standard operating procedures.
  • Define change approval workflows for production environment modifications to prevent configuration drift.
  • Monitor for configuration non-compliance using automated policy engines like AWS Config or Azure Policy.
  • Plan iterative improvements such as serverless transformation or AI-driven cost optimization in subsequent phases.
