AUTO1 was undergoing IT migration from Linode to AWS. The migration was a gradual one where data consistency and a working rollback plan had to be ensured at all times during the migration. The main goals were to:
Perform a review of different VPC setups and inter-region and inter-account connectivity
Review the required migration steps for the main MySQL databases, to ensure minimal downtime for the business
As part of production MySQL migration, AllCloud created a PoC lab environment to test the validity of the selected method. AllCloud able to identify different potential pitfalls in the setup and we were able to select alternative routes in our migration plan.
So with the help of AllCloud’s expertise, AUTO1 were able to successfully complete their migration on time.
