Dynatrace and AWS

The AWS Cloud Migration portal provides the best practices, documentation, and tools that cloud architects, IT professionals, and business decision makers need to successfully achieve short-term and long-term objectives.

The AWS migration framework presented on the AWS Cloud Migration portal frames this guidance into the phases shown below.

  • Assess phase - Before we move, we need to ensure our return on investment by understanding current cost and savings. In addition, we need to validate our organization’s readiness to move to cloud from 6 different perspectives of Cloud Adoption framework- Governance, people, business, platform, security and operations.

  • Mobilize phase - We need to perform a detailed application and infrastructure discovery and put a plan in place. We need to identify and put in place the right tools to help iron out the challenges of portfolio analysis, right sizing, application prioritization and application grouping.

  • Migrate & modernize phases - It is critical that we accelerate our move to the cloud and application transformations to achieve the benefits, but we must also validate our architecture decisions and our performance and scalability benchmarks.

  • Operate & optimize phase - Once migrated, it will start to get interesting with usage of all modern services, modern architectures using Fargate, ECS, EKS, Lambda, Amazon Aurora Serverless and much more. We know we need to adopt modern ways of operations by automating monitoring tasks, remediation tasks and ITSM tasks. We must also continue to expand and optimize our costs and performance.

Here is an overview for how Dynatrace helps in each phase of our modernization journey.
