Plan: Evaluate & Choose Migration Strategy

Key Decision Points:

– AWS Account Structure & Billing

– Connectivity and Topology Isolated vs. Integrated

– Migration Approach Forklift, Greenfield, Cloud-Native, or Hybrid

– Component Decoupling Degree of accepted modification/refactoring to application

architecture

– Application Coexistence and Cutover

Design: Architecture & Deployment Roadmap

Summary architecture deliverable including:

– High availability

– Disaster recovery

– Technology gaps and third-party integrations

Create deployment roadmap:

– Identify project phases and milestones

– Identify risks and mitigation steps

Document current infrastructure and design decisions

– “The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.”

Migrate: Upgrade Considerations

IIS 7 was a complete rewrite/redesign – Modular architecture with hierarchical configuration system

– Integrated pipeline replaces ISAPI pipeline

IIS 8 Key Enhancements – Dynamic IP restrictions, SSL host header support, central

certificate store, CPU throttling, application initialization module, WebSocket support, et.

IIS 8 Classic Mode – Full support for ISAPI pipeline; acceptable short-term solution

Migration Services & Tools: – IIS Migration Tool, AppZero
