If you are wondering what are the common AWS migration challenges, you are in the right place. This write-up by our experts will answer your questions. Our AWS Support Service team is here to offer a lending hand with your queries and issues.

What are the common AWS migration challenges?

Before we plan a data migration, we have to determine how much data we plan to move as well as the bandwidth available for the data transfer. This helps us determine the duration of the migration.

Furthermore, we have to be careful while moving sensitive or confidential information from an internal network to a secure AWS environment. Our experts recommend choosing the security level for the organization in order to choose the right AWS services for data migration. The AWS migration services list offers several services to help you get started.

We have three migration strategies to choose from:

• Hybrid Migration

  This involves migrating only a part of the data to the cloud. The remaining assets remain on-premise. This can be useful if the business has invested in the on-premise architecture and does not want to let go of it right away. Our experts recommend using an on-premise to AWS migration checklist to make it easier.
• Improve and move

  This includes redesigning and re-architecting assets before we move them to AWS.
• Lift and shift

  This strategy involves taking all the assets and rehosting them in the cloud. This is easy of the previous architecture is environment-agnostic by default.

Different AWS migration challenges

Many people make the mistake of assuming that AWS migration leads to abandoning the previous architecture completely. This is not the scenario. Customers have the choice to decide how much of their infrastructure to move. This decision depends on different factors like:

• Infrastructure maintenance cost
• Skilled resources availability
• Data-loss risk
• Security risks

Additionally, customers find AWS migration challenging because of the lack of a sound migration strategy. Fortunately, several firms like Bobcares can help out with these challenges and help them transfer data securely with minimal disruption.
