Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?
The project involves migrating a software application from its current cloud service provider to a new provider. Students will be tasked with assessing the existing infrastructure, planning the migration strategy, executing the migration process, and validating the application's functionality post-migration. The goal is to ensure a seamless transition while optimizing performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
- Current Infrastructure Assessment: Evaluate the existing application architecture, dependencies, configurations, and performance metrics on the current cloud provider.
- Migration Plan: Develop a comprehensive migration plan outlining the steps, timelines, resource requirements, and risk mitigation strategies for transitioning the application to the new cloud provider.
- Migration Execution: Implement the migration plan, including provisioning resources, transferring data, reconfiguring settings, and testing functionality to ensure a smooth transition.
- Post-Migration Validation: Conduct thorough testing and validation to verify the application's performance, functionality, and data integrity on the new cloud provider.
- Documentation and Reporting: Provide detailed documentation covering the migration process, configuration changes, troubleshooting procedures, and lessons learned. Present a comprehensive report summarizing the project's objectives, methodologies, challenges, and outcomes.
