Hey. Hi. Good morning everyone. This is Krishna Ula. I'm excited to share about my recent recently implemented a successful Oracle migration to the Amazon Web Services, which navigating to the future. I'm here to explain little bit more about like this migration is not just about moving the data, but about transferring your business operations for the greater efficiency, scalability, and agility in the cloud. I'm happy to give you more information on that. And if in the economical and technical transformation recently historically on databases, infrastructure was. Capital initiative and required significant in investment in hardware. And it s organizations were often beyond by complex maintenance schedule and regular hardware upgrade. Now the cloud has completely transformed this module with AWS and other cloud platforms. You can, scalability, flexibility, optimization, cost, structure, AWS custom consumption based pricing, especially AWS is providing consumption based pricing means you can only pay for what you use, making it highly cost efficient solution. The cloud migration process is not just about technology. It's about enabling business transformation by migrating to the cloud business can unlock your level of agility, accelerate innovation, and gain in a significant competitive a advantage. Here we, if we like in, in, in the next slide for the pre-migration assessment. A a comprehensive approach is a successful migration beyond these two pre-migration. Pre-migration assessment. Let explain the three main concepts, which is strategic workload, performance and analysis, and de dependency mapping and the migration read reading evaluation. For the strategic, for the s workload performance analysis over 62 of enterprise enterprise report difficulties due to the data complexity during migration, by analyzing your existing workload existing workload, looking at computational requirement, data integration and system capabilities, you will gain valuable. Sites into the potential migration challenges, dependency, migration, many migration falls failures steam for insufficient understanding of system interdependencies. And 47% of the organization experiences failures due to this gap under. Understanding how different system in interacts allows as a better plan, the better plan the migration and avoid the disruptions, the migration readiness evaluation here in this, organizations with s pre, pre, pre-migration assessment for three to five more likely to achieve successful migration. We need to at least three to five iteration to perform these successful migration. The most throughput, the preparation, the smoother the migration process would be for the next slide. Here one second. Yeah. These are one, yeah, these AWS hosting options for the Oracle Micro Oracle databases. When the migration Oracle databases to AWS we have two primary options, which is manage database solutions, self-management database solutions. For example, Amazon, EC2, manage database services like a Amazon RDS. Are the go-to solutions for the most organizations offering a fully managed environment by moving to the A-S-R-D-R-D-S 68% of the enterprise reports, reducing operational complexity and database maintenance who are heading by. Up to up to 45%. The RDS automations we administrator to task, including backups, patching, and scalable. Scaling allows your team to focus on innovating rather than maintenance, like patching, upgrades and everything for the self-manager databases like EC2 for the enterprise. Which specific complex requirements, customs, database solutions deployed on EC2. Maybe more suitable. These options allow you to fine tuning the configuration, including using the Bring your Own license model, where you need to get your own license model, which offers a greater flexibility. Essentially if you all already have Oracle licensing. Here for the network and security configuration we have like for these security and network configurations are critical aspects of any migration nowadays. The comprehensive security framework, enterprise connectivity, architecture, BPC, infrastructure Design, cloud Secure Foundation. Foundation if we go to the comprehensive security framework implements encryptions or encryption at rest and in transit, access control policies and continuous monitoring and essentials to secure the data for the enterprise connectivity architecture using the AWS Direct Connect for the data dedicated. Private connections to the AWS provides both performance and security for adding security. VPN tunnels can be used for encryption communication. VPC infrastructure design. VVPC means virtual private clouds allows you to create isolation. Network. Network environments by essentially provides subnets and security groups. We gained gradually control over. Or who can allows your data, allows your database that resource connect to it. Cloud Security Foundation addressing Oracle specific security challenges. Security challenges, which is like AWS provides NATO security cha mechanism to address Oracle specific. Concerns such as database level encryption and access level control. These ensure that your data remains protected through throughout its journey in the cloud. Let's go to the next slide here, the database migration strategies. There are four key strategies in this migration. There. These are assessment. Preparation, migration validation in assessment. Map, map out your current database architecture, identify dependency and access the potential risk of your mi potential risk of migration to AWS preparation. Align the migration plan with organization objectives and establish a clear path. This strategy is about setting up the groundwork for the actual migration. If you go to the migration, use AWS database migration services to perform the data with minimal downtime. These services is ensure that your database migration is both effect efficient and cost effective. Validation once a migration is completed. Validate the data integration performance, and functionality in the cloud environment. Ensure that everything works as expected in crucial for the for a smooth transaction in the migration technique. News the migrations are not always simple, and understanding the right technique is essential. Homogeneous migration. There are like three, three types here. Homogeneous migration, heterogeneous migration, and hybrid migration. Homogeneous migration is, which we usually do, Oracle to Oracle SQL to SQL Al Progressor port. That's how it works for the homogeneous migration. This is where radio you migrate migration between similar databases like Oracle to Oracle. It it's the comp it's the least complex and as it's minimal co compatibility issues and risk reduces the risk reduce process here. Heterogeneous migration. These heterogeneous migration is diff is different database platforms like Oracle to MySQL or SQL or Oracle to Mongo. These are called hydrogenous migration. It requires schema conversion. Before we start any process, we need to convert schema and create the same schema in the conversion we in the target database, like in MySQL from Oracle two. Then the data transformation, but offer the opt opportunity to modernize your database infrastructure. In hybrid migration. In hybrid migration in a way, in a phase approach that combine both homogeneous and heterogeneous migration techniques. This approach allows for incremental implementation, reduce, reducing the risk, and improving the overall flexibility of the process. So we always follow for the high hybrid migration, which is it has to be an incremental way. For the post migration optimization which is management efficiency, security efficiency or risk mitigation in the management efficiency improves the, in database management efficiency through the manager solution by 45%, security is 50. Reduction will be 55% reduction in potential security vulnerabilities through advanced network isolation, 60% risk mitigation potential data, ensuring the risk which mitigates through comprehensive encryption strategies, which is data. Data exposure risks are significant, reduces through encryption strategies and access the control mechanism mitigates the risk by the 60%. The same way the security enhancement by utilizing AWS advanced network capabilities indicates private subnets and BPC com companies can reduce a potential security vulnerabilities in efficient improvement with the manager solutions like RDS operational tech. Typically see a 45% improvement in the database management efficiency. Yeah. If we go to the cost optimization strategies here we all think to make a note of reduce ana reduce analysis, continuous refine refinement and performance monitoring, excuse me, dynamic allocations for the cost strategies. Cloud cost management is continuous processes. Here are the most strategies to optimize your. Cloud spending, reduce analysis continuously. Evaluate your resource to identify underutilized accesses and areas where you can scale down without impacting performance. Dynamic allocation. Use automated scale, automated scaling to. I just resource between, I just resource based on real time demand. This ensures that you only pay what you need. Performance man. Performance monitoring, track, key performance metrics using tools like Amazon Cloud was. This enables you to identify bottlenecks bottlenecks early and make just before you, before they affected performance. Continuous refining the cloud is dynamic and so should be you should be your cost optimization approach. Regular assessment allows you to make informed adjustments that maintain efficiently while keeping cost under control. And in the best practice for the successful migration is to ensure we follow several best process. First one is comprehensive risk mitigation. Develop a proactive risk medication plan to address, address, and divide challenges that comes with my migration. The strategic migration plans thoroughly plan your migration strategies, aligning it with business goals and expected output outcomes, and testing validation. You use strategic environment to simulate real world migration scenarios. Allows you to identify issues before the migration occurs. And do like multiple testings, like we usually do, like from we started from Dell, UAT pre-prod and pro, so we did multiple levels of testing before we go to the production. That's how we need to validate everything is working from according to the business. Need continuous monitoring, implement robust monitoring tools to track the performance for your system in real time. This allows you to detect the, and detect and resolve issues early, ensuring business continuity, strategic consideration for long-term success. For the long term success dependence are on more than. Just a successful migration. It support continuous alignment with the business goals, strategic alignment, organization readiness, and continuous implement, and in strategic alignment, ensure that migration directly supports your core business objects. This ensures that cloud infrastructure delivers measurable values, organizational readiness, cultivate. Internal internal expertise by training teams on a Amazon web services and cloud management. Teach management tools, changing management tools are essential to minimize ception during the transactions continuous improvement. View the migration as an ongoing journey. Regular assessments for the performance and emerging AWS compatibilities will enco encourage new opportunities for the arga optimization. And thank you for your a attention. This migration to the AWS offers the significant benefits beyond just technical. Efficiency. It's about the transforming your business for the future by following a strategic and well-planned migration for framework you will set to organize on a path towards a long-term success. I'm happy to answer any questions from you guys. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. Thank you.
