• Capture post-release learnings and update:
• Release checklist (e.g., IAM access, monitoring setup, compliance validation)
• Playbook (step-by-step cutover activities)
• Tollgates (approval checkpoints across app, infra, DevOps, IAM, InfoSec)
• Track and report release KPIs (downtime, rollback frequency, defect leakage, migration success rate).
Required Skills & Experience
• 8-12 years of IT experience with 4+ years in Release/Deployment Management in application migration programs.
• Strong understanding of application migration approaches (re-host, re-platform, re-deploy) and workload dependencies.
• exposer with AWS services relevant to app migration:
• Compute: EC2, Lambda, EKS/ECS
• Networking & Access: VPC, Route 53, IAM, Security Groups, KMS
• Storage/Databases: S3, RDS, DynamoDB, DMS/SCT
