This document summarizes Jerry Liao's talk on migrating to AWS. It discusses different AWS services for server-based and serverless infrastructure, databases, networking, security, continuous integration/delivery, analytics, and pricing models. The talk is aimed at engineers and focuses on practical considerations for migration such as maintainability, scalability, stability, and cost. It emphasizes taking a minimum viable product approach with iterative development using services like EC2, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, and more.
