The objective of this project is to design and implement a migration strategy for legacy on-premise applications to a cloud infrastructure platform. The system ensures minimal downtime, secure data transfer, and optimized cloud resource utilization, helping students understand cloud migration strategies, modernization, and risk management.
Study legacy on-premise applications, their architecture, and dependencies.
Analyze cloud infrastructure models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) suitable for migration.
Prepare Software Requirement Specification (SRS) and migration workflow documentation.
Design system architecture including cloud environment setup, migration tools, and testing framework.
Create database schema mapping for legacy databases and cloud-compatible structures.
Implement secure data transfer mechanisms from on-premise servers to cloud storage.
Containerize legacy application components where applicable (MCA-level enhancement).
Develop migration scripts or automation using cloud provider tools (e.g., AWS Migration Hub, Azure Migrate).
Implement role-based access control and authentication for migrated application.
Perform data validation and integrity checks after migration.
Develop testing workflows to verify application functionality and performance in the cloud environment.
Maintain logs of migration activities and error tracking.
Apply security best practices, including encryption and network security, for cloud deployment.
Conduct performance optimization for cloud resources such as scaling, load balancing, and storage allocation.
Prepare documentation including architecture diagrams, migration workflow, ER diagrams, and test cases.
Deploy migrated application in a cloud environment for demonstration.
Simulate rollback strategy to handle migration failures.
