Migrating legacy applications to Amazon EC2
The journey in migrating legacy applications to Amazon EC2 represents a pivotal shift toward modernization and scalability within the cloud ecosystem. This process typically begins with assessing application architecture, identifying which components can be lifted and shifted directly to EC2 and which might require re-architecture for cloud optimization. The next step involves selecting the most suitable migration strategies and tools, planning meticulously to ensure minimal disruption, and executing the migration process with precision. Let us begin our exploration into assessing the current application architecture.
Assessing the current application architecture
The first step in assessing the current application architecture involves a detailed examination of existing systems. In this phase, you will pinpoint which components can be lifted and shifted and which need re-architecting – perhaps breaking the monolith into microservices...
