This is where we gather details about the environment and formulate the game plan. In the spirit of being agile, we probably wonʼt know everything, but should know enough to get the ball rolling!

Provision and validate access to current environment
Perform analysis on configurations, add-ons, and integrations
Design/architect new AWS hosting environment
Review and deliver initial project plan

In this step, we lay the groundwork for the shiny new environment for the applications. We want to make sure that the foundation is solid and stable for the forthcoming migration.

Provision and set up AWS services (VPC, ELB, EC2, RDS, etc.)
Configure infrastructure-related services for new environments (non-production and production)
Install Atlassian applications in new environments (non-production and production)
Develop and finalize hosting support plan

We're talkin' about practice? The test migration typically exposes complications and inefficiencies, so this is our chance to put our plan to the test and resolve any issues ahead of the final migration.

Generate export of application data and attachments (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, etc.)
Perform data transformations and mappings as necessary
Restore application data and attachments to new non-production environment
Perform QA for application integrity and conduct UAT
Mitigate issues, refine migration steps and scripts, and finalize production migration plan

Game time! With a practice under our belt, the team is prepared and confident to execute the plays as planned!

Execute end-user communication plan for duration of migration
Coordinate final migration window and production environment freeze
Execute migration steps, refined and confirmed from test migration
Conduct final QA and UAT for all applications
Execute changes for production cutover (Emails, DNS, etc.)

We have made it this far, time to wrap up and make sure things will continue to perform as expected. The team may also want to strategize future plans.

Resolve all remaining issues related to migration
Replicate production data to non-production (development and test) environments
Perform active application and infrastructure monitoring
Coordinate application upgrade and AWS scaling plan (instance size, additional nodes, etc.)

AWS is reliable, flexible scalable and secure. Your peace of mind is priceless, but you will also:

Save money and save time!
Scale your systems!
Do more and move faster!
