RSVP for July 20 lunch & learn

July 20th's presentation

Pros and Cons of migrating your sites to AWS (from Pantheon, Acquia, etc.)

by Salim Lakhani

Doesn't everyone want to move to the cloud? Most customers cannot argue with the 80% savings on hosting alone by moving their sites to a provider like AWS. However, not everyone is a good candidate for such migrations and a project is doomed to fail without critical analysis of the risks involved.

In the first session of this three-part series, we will discuss the "Pros and Cons of migrating your sites to AWS (from Pantheon, Acquia, etc.)" The second session gets into the "Tools and technologies for migrating your sites to AWS." The third session "How to run your own Web Operations?" looks at what's involved in managing your own WebOps.

These are BOF-Style sessions held at different meetups and camps where we summarize successes and failures from hundreds of projects and discuss key takeaways as a group.

Bio:

Salim Lakhani has been a member of the Drupal community since Drupal 4 and was an early adopter of AWS.

After helping countless companies migrate their applications to AWS, he started a company to automate the deployment, management and scaling of applications (like Drupal and Wordpress) on AWS.

Today, as the CTO and Co-Founder of DevPanel, a DevOps / WebOps Control Panel, he helps companies save money by migrating their sites to "Fully Managed" Cloud Native Infrastructure on AWS.

He is also an Ambassador with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF.io) and helps organize several Drupal, AWS and Kubernetes events.

You can connect with Salim on Linkedin or contact him through the DevPanel website.
