iam vs acm certificates

ACM is the preferred tool to provision, manage, and deploy your server certificates. With ACM you can request a certificate or deploy an existing ACM or external certificate to AWS resources. Certificates provided by ACM are free and automatically renew. 

Use IAM as a certificate manager only when you must support HTTPS connections in a Region that is not supported by ACM. IAM securely encrypts your private keys and stores the encrypted version in IAM SSL certificate storage. IAM supports deploying server certificates in all Regions, but you must obtain your certificate from an external provider for use with AWS.

You cannot upload an ACM certificate to IAM. Additionally, you cannot manage your certificates from the IAM Console.

Server Migration Checklist

Server migration checklists

Validation Checklist

  • Set the hosts file to locally load services
  • Check to see if all required services are functioning
  • Check your site for 404 errors, 500 errors, PHP warnings, etc.
  • Update all server software to the latest version
  • Tune LAMP performance (Apache, MySQL, PHP)
  • Test the cron
  • Check email deliverability and email records (DKIM, SPF, etc.)
  • Verify mail is synced (i.e. that all messages are there and all contacts have been migrated)
  • Check backups are still working

Security Checklist

  • Audit firewall configuration
  • Identify and implement non-standard security requirements
  • Restrict access where appropriate
  • Implement programs to educate staff
  • Ensure setup is compliant with all protocols

Configuration Checklist

  • Analyse configurations of both old and new hosting environments
  • Configure web server modules (i.e. suexec, mod_php, mod_perl, mod_ssl, etc.)
  • Identify shared libraries and other code/program dependencies
  • Set up SSL certificates
  • Create fresh (or import existing) configuration files
  • Import databases
  • Fine-tune server performance
  • Check and reconfigure applications that connect from remote sources

User Account Checklist

  • Migrate user accounts and passwords
  • Consider forcing password reset on next login
  • Purge old/inactive accounts

File System Checklist

  • Ensure all files copied over
  • Check that permissions are correct
  • Crawl website to identify 404 not found errors

Final Check Checklist

  • Were all of the issues addressed during migration?
  • Was the migration painless? If not, what went wrong?
  • Are you happy with your new server?
  • What else (if anything) needs doing?

Server Migration Service

What is a Server Migration?

A server migration is the term used to describe copying or moving complete data from one server to another, as well as configuring that target server to replace the previous one. Server migrations in the context of web hosting might revolve around setting up web server and database software, copying websites and their configurations, and changing DNS to direct visitors to that new server.

Why Should I Consider a Server Migration?

Server migrations may need to happen for a number of reasons. Organizations may migrate to:

  1. Take advantage of new technology or better service, or to ensure that the operating system (OS) and the hardware beneath it stay up-to-date with current technology.
  2. Move to the cloud for increased flexibility or scalability.
  3. To economize and consolidate hosting and reduce CapEx.
  4. Replace aging infrastructure at the end of its lifecycle.
  5. To expand and distribute hosting to help reduce load at a single point and achieve high availability.

Migrations should be handled with utmost care. You could sink hours of time, effort, and money into a migration only to find yourself onto the wrong server solution, or worse, with downtime and profit loss. It takes considerable planning and forethought to migrate your data onto an optimized server that is right for you. After all, on-average downtime can cost an enterprise $686,000 an hour, so your organization’s success absolutely depends on a successful migration.

5 Step Server Migration Plan

  1. Preparing Your New Server
  2. Assess Data Fidelity
  3. Data Transfer
  4. Testing (QA/QC)
  5. Changing DNS and “Going Live”
