RE: Suggestions on moving to cloud

One prerequisite to analyze is whether your constancy of database availability access is compatible with your worst case WAN availability, bandwidth, and latency requirements for your users (whether remote or on a corporate campus) as well as the requirements of places like factories and distribution facilities if they depend on database access.  

This may turn out either way depending on too much to guess at, but it is incumbent on you to make sure is included in your plan. Because whenever the database cannot be accessed, it will be considered YOUR problem. And beware your network group forecasting too rosy a picture. Make sure they understand this is not to criticize them, but rather to get them to recognize a serious forecast is required to accurately state the service levels to be expected in a crunch to management. It may be the case that time sharing (aka moving to the cloud) savings may more than pay for any improvement and business continuity measures for your network group. The opposite might also be true.  

I claim this analysis is an absolute prerequisite step. The difference between all on the “campus” versus WAN security may be another issue, understanding that you may already have WAN access to your database with different levels of security for local versus WAN access.  

I’ll let others send you on paths to the cloud, but you can start by determining whether it is prudent for your organization. It *may* be.

Subject: Suggestions on moving to cloud  

Hello Experts, Being worked mainly in database development, performance tuning side (that to mostly Oracle(plsql) and those are on-premise and now on Exadata). And considering current technology trends which is mostly driving toward cloud(and AWS being vastly used one). And even organization is asking to have well versed with same cloud technology. Is there any specific path we should follow or say specific document/books to read or certification advisable to move through this transition easily?

As i understand there are hundreds of services in AWS and also got to know of certification there like "AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified SysOps Administrator , AWS Certified Developer etc". So, are these the basic stepping stones to go through? A clarity on this would be greatly helpful.

Regards

Pap
