Are there cost implications when using AWS migration services vs third-party tools?

Yes. AWS native migration tools are generally low-cost or free, with charges applying mainly to the resources consumed (compute, storage, networking). Third-party tools may offer specialized features but often involve higher licensing or subscription fees.

Will I learn how to rollback or recover if something goes wrong during migration?

Yes. The course covers rollback planning, snapshots, and recovery strategies to ensure that if migration issues arise, you can restore workloads or safely switch back to the original environment.

How is security handled when migrating sensitive or regulated data to AWS?

Security is ensured with end-to-end encryption, VPC isolation, IAM-based access control, and compliance with frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. AWS migration services also support audit logging to track data movement.

Can I migrate applications that depend on legacy or proprietary software/hardware?

In many cases, yes. AWS migration tools support hybrid environments and offer compatibility layers, but for highly proprietary dependencies, refactoring or custom integration may be necessary.

What kind of support or resources are available if learners face issues with AWS CLI, IAM permissions, or environment setup?

Learners get access to AWS documentation, discussion forums, and support channels. The course also provides guided labs and troubleshooting steps for common issues with AWS CLI, IAM roles, and environment configuration.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
