Lift and Shift to Speed Up Your Migration to AWS

Level: 300

Most businesses know that migrating applications to the cloud can deliver transformational results, but the process can seem complicated or disruptive. Lift-and-shift is a way to migrate to AWS first and then modernize applications as a second step. This means minimal disruption to your environment, while immediately taking advantage of cost savings and improvements in productivity, agility, resilience, and other benefits of the cloud. When it comes time to modernize your applications, you can leverage AWS services to facilitate the process. Join this tech talk to see how you can quickly move to the cloud without making changes to applications, business processes, monitoring, or management interfaces. Satellite telecommunications company Inmarsat will share how they used a lift-and-shift strategy to bring 1,500 workloads to AWS in a very short time and, once in the cloud, gained elasticity, compute, storage, and support capabilities that made it easier to replatform applications.
