Migration of a Workload running in a Corporate Data Center to AWS using the Amazon EC2 and RDS service

In another project based in a real-world scenario, I acted as the Cloud Specialist responsible for migrating a workload running in a Corporate Datacenter to AWS.
The application and database were migrated to AWS using the Lift & Shift (rehost) model, moving both application and database data.

I followed some migration steps: Planning (sizing, prerequisites, resource naming), Execution (resource provisioning, best practices), Go-live (validation test — Dry-run, final migration — Cutover) and Post Go-live (ensure the operation of the application and user access).

The Services and Technologies that I used to complete this project are Amazon EC2, Amazon VPC, Amazon RDS, Internet Gateway and MySQL
The above infrastructure simplifies as follows:

• I used Amazon EC2 instances to host the application server.
• An Amazon VPC was created to isolate and manage the network resources for the project.
• Amazon RDS with MySQL serves as the relational database backend, which simplifies database management.
• The Internet Gateway allows the EC2 instances and other resources within the VPC to communicate with the internet, such as for external web access or updates.
