PR-701: Migrate Enterprise Applications — Lesson 3: Migration, Modernization, and Cutover

Learning Objectives

• Execute rehost or replatform workflows and validate application behavior
• Modernize components using managed services, APIs, containers, or serverless options
• Plan testing, synchronization, cutover, rollback, and stakeholder communication

Detailed Topics

• Execute rehost or replatform workflows and validate application behavior: Execute rehost or replatform workflows and validate application behavior
• Modernize components using managed services: Modernize components using managed services, APIs, containers, or serverless options
• Plan testing: Plan testing, synchronization, cutover, rollback, and stakeholder communication

Guided Demonstration

1. Review the requirement, environment, dependencies, roles, risks, and expected outcome.
2. Demonstrate the relevant configuration, analysis, code, or administration workflow step by step.
3. Capture settings, outputs, logs, screenshots, calculations, or test evidence.
4. Compare the observed result with the stated acceptance criteria.

Hands-On Activity

Run a controlled application migration and cutover simulation.

• Document assumptions and the planned sequence before making changes.
• Complete the activity and preserve evidence of normal and exception behavior.
• Record issues, corrective actions, and reusable operational or development notes.

Troubleshooting Focus

• Separate symptoms from causes and collect evidence before applying a fix.
• Check configuration, permissions, data, dependencies, capacity, connectivity, and recent changes.
• Validate rollback, recovery, support ownership, and user or business impact.

Validation Checklist

• The requirement and expected outcome are clear.
• The selected configuration, design, query, code, or process is documented.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• The result is supported by evidence and the next improvement is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply Migration, Modernization, and Cutover in a realistic scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
