AWS Foundations & Cloud Migration Checklist

Assess On-Premises Infrastructure:
Conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing infrastructure to determine what should be migrated and what can be retired.

Define Cloud Strategy:
Develop a cloud migration strategy aligned with your business objectives—define the scope, budget, timeline, and cloud services needed.

Choose the Right Migration Approach:
Select the best approach—Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Retire, or Retain—based on the complexity of workloads.

Set Up AWS Landing Zone:
Establish a secure and scalable AWS landing zone using AWS Control Tower or Landing Zone solution to set up multi-account environments.

Perform Security & Compliance Checks:
Implement security best practices (e.g., encryption, identity management, logging, monitoring) to ensure the cloud environment is secure and compliant.

Migrate in Phases:
Plan the migration in phases, starting with non-critical workloads, to minimize disruption and ensure success.

Monitor & Optimize Post-Migration:
Use AWS CloudWatch, AWS Cost Explorer, and Trusted Advisor to monitor performance, security, and costs after migration.
