Postmigration Activities Overview
Like any software development project, migration projects require careful planning to ensure success. This planning includes the postmigration testing and maintenance phase. Start this project by researching and planning the postmigration activities that will be required to get BallotOnline’s migrated workloads in a production-ready state.
Engage in an online conversation with your colleagues to discuss the postmigration approaches and activities in the Discussion: Postmigration Approaches and Activities.
After discussing the approaches, you will move on to the next step, where you will consider prerequisites, the tasks to be completed before monitoring and management.

Project 2: Programmatic Cloud Configuration and Deployment Step 2: Review and Compare Cloud Deployment Programmatic Tools
In this step, you will learn about some of the leading cloud deployment programmatic tool sets for application and server management.
Review the Information Automation Tools provided by Microsoft Azure.
After reviewing and creating a feature comparison table for four most promising tools, you will submit your comparison using the Cloud Deployment Programmatic Tool Set Comparison Guide.
In the next step, you will take a detailed look at Azure Resource Manager template.

Project 4: Postmigration Activities Step 3: Compare Monitoring/Management Options in AWS
Now that you have explored CloudFormation, you will consider resource optimization. Controlling and optimizing the infrastructure can help BallotOnline reduce costs, improve security, and increase performance. The monitoring and management options and tools will help automate IT operations for BallotOnline in the cloud.
You’ve been asked to review two of the leading monitoring and management options available in AWS: AWS Trusted Advisor and AWS Systems Manager.
After your review, engage in an online conversation with your colleagues at BallotOnline in the Discussion: Evaluation of AWS Monitoring and Management Options.
After your discussion, compare the two options using the Cloud Monitoring and Management Comparison Template and submit it via the dropbox below.

In the next step, you will work closely with AWS Trusted Advisor.
Project 4: Postmigration Activities Step 4: Evaluate and Configure AWS Trusted Advisor
In the previous step, you compared two maintenance and management tools, AWS Systems Manager and AWS Trusted Advisor, to gain an understanding of the capabilities of both resources. Sophia has asked you to get started by evaluating and configuring AWS Trusted Advisor next.
Take Action
Explore AWS Trusted Advisor and then go to the Trusted Advisor dashboard and check each category with best practices:
1. Cost optimization
2. Fault tolerance
3. Services limits
4. Security
5. Performance
Recommend changes to the settings based on the results of the checks and document the results of each check with screenshots.
Once you’ve evaluated and configured AWS Trusted Advisor, you can proceed to the next step, where you will do the same for AWS Systems Manager.
Project 4: Postmigration Activities Step 6: Discuss and Review Final Cutover/Rollback Options
You’ve evaluated and configured AWS Systems Manager and AWS Trusted Advisor. Now, it’s time to consider plans in case something goes awry and data becomes unavailable when the project goes live. In this step, you will discuss and review final cutover strategy and options to roll back the workloads to the original source in an event of any postmigration issues. You will include your cutover options and rollback plan as part of your final Cloud Migration Technical Report.
Before moving on to the next step, engage in an online conversation with your colleagues to discuss the final cutover/rollback options in the Discussion: Final Cutover and Rollback Options.
When you are finished, it’s time for the final step, the report on postmigration.
Take Action

Once in the discussion, you can Start a New Thread, as well as respond to threads others have created. Use the discussion to develop awareness, share your thoughts, ask questions, and reflect. Remember that everyone brings a valuable and unique perspective, and treat everyone with respect.
Project 4: Postmigration Activities Step 7: Write Cloud Postmigration Activity Report
At this point, you should have a better understanding of the cloud postmigration activities and the services that are available to manage and monitor cloud infrastructure in AWS. In your Postmigration Activity Report, you will provide BallotOnline with postmigration activities options and tool sets that align with BallotOnline’s technical and business requirements.
The 10- to 12-page final document will consolidate the work that you have completed in the steps along with some additional elements (scope, executive summary, etc.) to create a comprehensive postmigration activity report. Sophia will present your work for approval at the executive meeting.
Use the Cloud Postmigration Report Guide to make sure that you have included all the elements. Submit your work after reading the instructions below.
Check Your Evaluation Criteria
Before you submit your assignment, review the competencies below, which your instructor will use to evaluate your work. A good practice would be to use each competency as a self-check to confirm you have incorporated all of them.
