This document discusses considerations for migrating applications to AWS. It identifies some key factors such as understanding the application stack and its components, security requirements, and current configuration. Standalone applications and loosely coupled applications are generally better candidates for migration than tightly integrated applications. It is recommended to do a proof of concept early to identify gaps. The document outlines the migration process and how on-premises infrastructure can be mapped to AWS architectures. CloudFormation templates can be used to automate infrastructure provisioning. Open source and paid toolkits can assist with monitoring and migration. Partnering with an experienced organization can help tailor the solution.
