Modernize a monolith to ECS and Fargate using Application Discovery

This course provides a methodology to discover, plan, and migrate a monolith to Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate with the help of AWS Application Discovery Service and no code changes.

• Using AWS Application Discovery Service to inventory servers, applications, dependencies, and utilization patterns for informed migration planning.
• Assessing and planning monolith modernization by identifying suitable components for containerization and defining migration waves or strategies.
• Migrating monolithic applications to Amazon ECS clusters running on AWS Fargate, including container packaging, task definitions, and service configurations.
• Implementing serverless container orchestration best practices (e.g., no server management, auto-scaling, integration with other AWS services) to achieve high availability and elasticity post-migration.

• Understand end-to-end processes for application discovery, migration planning, and deployment to ECS and Fargate, accelerating cloud-native transformation for legacy workloads.
• Gain confidence in using AWS tools to identify application components, map dependencies, and implement containerization for better performance, cost efficiency, and maintainability.
• Be prepared to apply these techniques in real-world modernization projects, supporting organizations in transitioning from on-premises monoliths to scalable, managed container environments on AWS.

• Comprehensive digital course content outlining the discovery-to-migration methodology with explanations, examples, and guidance on key AWS services (Application Discovery Service, ECS, Fargate).
• Intermediate-to-advanced training in the Migration and Transfer domain, aligned with AWS modernization patterns for legacy applications.
• Practical focus on no/low-code-change approaches to containerization and cloud-native deployment.
• Certificate of completion issued.
