It’s AWS re:Invent week! This is one of AWS’ largest annual conferences with thousands of customers, partners, and innovators flocking to Las Vegas to learn about exciting updates in cloud computing.
Yesterday, Danske Bank and AWS showcased the lessons learned from migrating and modernizing their on-premises workloads. The session - Completing a large-scale migration and modernization (MAM205) - overviewed how Danske Bank and AWS used Cutover’s SaaS platform and automated runbooks to orchestrate the end-to-end tasks during the large-scale migration.
Completing a large-scale migration and modernization
Danske Bank faced the challenge of migrating 16,600 servers, 60,000 containers, and 20 petabytes of data to AWS while reducing risks and hitting the ambitious target of rehosting 15 workloads and 200 servers per week. Danske wanted to take an innovative approach as part of their Forward ‘28 strategy, to maximize scale with minimal human intervention.
Orchestrate and automate migrations with Cutover runbooks
Danske and AWS Professional Services collaborated with Cutover to integrate AWS's framework and migration engine, which included using AWS Cloud Migration Factory, AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, and Amazon DynamoDB with the Cutover platform for complete orchestration of all migration tasks - both automated and manual. Cutover runbooks provided the AWS and Danske teams with one source of execution during the entire migration. With complete visibility, Cutover enabled a more seamless process, consistency across teams, fewer manual errors, and an accelerated migration.
By using Cutover runbooks and hyperautomation, Danske saw the following results:
- Reduced migration timeline by 50%
- Reduced migration program costs by 50%
- Reduced runbook creation from 4 weeks to 4 seconds
Meet with Cutover at re:Invent
If you’re at re:Invent this week, let’s meet up! The Cutover team would love to chat about all things migration, modernization, and recovery.
