Course Overview
The AWS Migration Essentials course by AWS is designed for technical professionals seeking foundational knowledge in cloud migration strategies and execution. This one-day, fundamental-level training is ideal for solutions architects, developers, and administrators who are involved in planning or implementing lift-and-shift migrations to the AWS Cloud. While it does not directly align with a specific certification exam, the course supports broader AWS certification goals such as the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate by building essential migration competencies. According to AWS, over 75% of enterprise organizations are actively pursuing cloud migration initiatives, underscoring the growing demand for professionals skilled in cloud readiness and migration planning using AWS tools and methodologies.
Students in the AWS Migration Essentials course gain hands-on experience with core AWS services including AWS Application Discovery Service, AWS Migration Hub, AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS), and AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN). The course includes practical labs conducted in the AWS Console environment, where participants configure and execute real migration scenarios. In Lab 1, students perform a database migration using AWS DMS to move data from on-premises databases to Amazon RDS or EC2. In Lab 2, they use AWS MGN to perform a server migration, simulating a lift-and-shift scenario for an enterprise application. These exercises emphasize the assess, mobilize, migrate, and modernize framework, preparing learners to handle end-to-end migration projects in production environments.
By completing the AWS Migration Essentials course, professionals enhance their readiness for cloud migration roles that are increasingly critical in digital transformation initiatives. The course supports career advancement in cloud architecture and migration strategy, areas where AWS-certified professionals see salary premiums averaging $15,000 annually according to industry reports.
