The AWS Cloud Migration exam assesses candidates' proficiency in planning, executing, and managing cloud migration projects using Amazon Web Services (AWS) migration services and tools. It covers various aspects of cloud migration strategies, assessment methodologies, migration techniques, and best practices for migrating on-premises workloads to the AWS cloud. The exam evaluates candidates' ability to design migration architectures, assess migration readiness, execute migration plans, and optimize migrated workloads for performance, cost, and security on AWS.
Skills Required:
Cloud Migration Strategies: Understanding of cloud migration concepts, strategies, and methodologies such as rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, and retiring legacy systems.
AWS Services and Tools: Proficiency in using AWS migration services and tools such as AWS Server Migration Service (SMS), AWS Database Migration Service (DMS), AWS Snowball, AWS Transfer Family, and AWS DataSync for migrating diverse workloads to AWS.
Assessment and Discovery: Knowledge of assessment methodologies, discovery tools, and migration readiness assessments for identifying on-premises workloads, dependencies, and migration priorities.
Migration Planning and Execution: Skills in creating migration plans, defining migration wave strategies, scheduling cutover activities, and executing migration tasks while minimizing downtime and ensuring data integrity.
Networking and Connectivity: Understanding of networking concepts, VPN connectivity, Direct Connect, VPC peering, and network architecture design considerations for cloud migration.
Security and Compliance: Knowledge of security best practices, compliance requirements, encryption methods, IAM policies, and data protection mechanisms for securing migrated workloads on AWS.
Performance Optimization: Ability to optimize migrated workloads for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency using AWS services such as Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, Amazon RDS Performance Insights, and AWS Cost Explorer.
Monitoring and Management: Familiarity with monitoring tools, cloud management platforms, and AWS CloudWatch for monitoring, managing, and optimizing migrated workloads in the AWS cloud.
Troubleshooting and Support: Proficiency in troubleshooting migration issues, diagnosing performance bottlenecks, and leveraging AWS Support services for resolving migration-related challenges.
Post-Migration Optimization: Skills in post-migration optimization, workload validation, performance tuning, cost optimization, and resource rightsizing to ensure optimal operation of migrated workloads on AWS.
