- Welcome back to this AWS TechShift
migrate and modernize video mini series.
These videos are aimed at independent software vendors
who are currently running on premise
and looking to migrate the cloud.
It's also aimed at those that have existing applications
that they're looking to rearchitect
to become more cloud native.
In the last video, we made the final improvements
to our photo gallery case study application
by adding in an EC2 autoscaling group.
And we used cloud formation
to define the entire infrastructure as code.
In this video,
we will summarize the changes that we have made
and learn where to go next
to learn more about the AWS TechShift program.

We started with the photo gallery hosted on a single server
on premise with users accessing it over the internet.
This was their migrated AWS via a lift and shift
to Amazon EC2 running on a single instance
in single availability zone.
We then made several incremental improvements
to the architecture to increase the overall security,
reliability, performance efficiency, and resilience.
And this ensures we're now following
some of the best practice principles described
in the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
These included adding more subnets to the VPC
to allow the use of more availability zones,
separating out the database to Amazon Aurora
as a managed database service,
storing images on Amazon S3 for 11 nines durability,
low-cost storage, and offload requests from the web server,
adding Amazon CloudFront to cache the static content
close to where our end users are,
improving the overall performance,
and adding infrastructure as code.
We've completed our initial TechShift journey
in this video mini series.
But this is just the beginning.
We've given you a flavor
of the Embark workshop path
and an overview of our migrate content.
Embark itself consists of
a one-to-many-events training workshops,
prescriptive guidance, and hands-on labs.
It's split into three phases,
Migrate, Modernize, and SaaS fundamentals.
On the Migrate phase, we focus on the building blocks
required to install and run your software applications
in the cloud.
In the Modernize phase, we focus on optimization
and cloud native integration through autoscaling,
no SQL, containers, and CI/CD pipelines.
And lastly, at the Software as a Service stage,
we cover SaaS fundamentals, such as tenant isolation,
onboarding, data partitioning.
And these are in different formats.
Migrate and Modernize are available in a one-day format
or a two-day format for Modernize.
And we run the SaaS fundamentals workshop in two hours.
Both Migrate and Modernize provide you
with hands-on labs to get you a deeper experience
and understanding of how these services work.
And in addition, you'll have time to discuss
architecture patterns and best practices
with an AWS solution architect.
These can include also follow up virtual office hours
to validate and answer your technical queries directly.
But what happens if you're already in the depths
of your modernization?
We also have the Expert path.
Expert path events focus on key topics
such as moving databases
and understanding which database types
may work for your data.
Or our Analytics and Machine Learning path
where you can realize the benefits of the data you have
to generate deeper insights using the portfolio
of AWS analytics and AI-ML services.

If you click on the resources tab
and filter on event type for virtual and webinar,
you'll see the upcoming TechShift Embark workshops
and other technical and business workshops relevant to ISVs.
Thank you for watching this video series.
We hope you enjoyed it.
We look forward to seeing you
at the next TechShift Embark workshop.
