The success of cloud migration is enormously dependent upon how well thought out the strategy is. In this course, instructor Brien Posey takes a vendor-neutral look at the key design considerations that need to go into any migration strategy.

With this course you will learn how to identify your migration goals, estimate costs, and avoid common mistakes, exploring popular options such as rehosting, replatforming, and SaaS adoption. You will also be able to understand when it's appropriate to refactor or retire workloads and get tips for implementing your migration plan, complete with considerations for IT pros. There is a chapter covering migration exit strategies: why have one, how to create one, and how to know when to use it.

The course includes 7 quizzes (one per chapter) and is accessible from computer and mobile. At the end of the course, a certification will be released. It is structured as follows:
