AWS Account Migrations

As the Product Owner overseeing the project, I successfully migrated AWS resources for each Release Train from a centralized account to their own account. This allowed the SRE team to manage resources more effectively and track spending more efficiently.

Project Timeline

The project timeline was 2-3 months.

Project Description

During the project timeline, I worked closely with each team and their architect to:

  • Identify requirements and acceptance criteria
  • Determine optimal migration timing

I created Agile artifacts to guide the SRE team through weekly sprints and performed UAT testing to ensure functionality was maintained after the migration. In addition, I:

  • Delivered technology-wide communications regarding the migration
  • Performed triage duties in the event of an incident
  • Employed risk management strategies to navigate potential obstacles and keep the project on track

Skills and Technologies

This project required a variety of skills and technologies, including:

  • Project management: I kept the project on track by setting clear goals and timelines, monitoring progress, and communicating effectively with stakeholders.
  • Agile artifact creation: My Agile artifacts helped the SRE team to stay organized and focused during weekly sprints.
  • Time management: I was able to complete the project within the designated timeframe by efficiently managing my time and resources.
  • Risk management and mitigation: My risk management strategies helped us to identify potential obstacles and develop plans to mitigate them.
  • Python (Data Aggregation): I used Python for data aggregation to streamline the migration process.

Conclusion

Overall, successful migration resulted in more efficient resource management and spending tracking for the SRE team.
