Migrating a WordPress site from SiteGround to a self-hosted VM involved FTP and SSH transfers, MySQL dump and import, DNS updates, and Let’s Encrypt setup. This post details how I automated each step – verifying file integrity, syncing databases, cleaning SiteGround plugins, and securing the new server for full WordPress functionality on my own infrastructure.

While cloud migration is still a popular topic during customer discussions, I have noticed that more and more customers are considering an exit plan from one cloud (vendor lock-in) to another cloud meaning there is an increase in multi-cloud migration demand. VMware, Oracle, and SAP are the major workloads in on-premises data centers today. Based on my research both VMware and Oracle are very vocal about the importance of having a multi-cloud strategy.
There are two ways of approaching this challenge. (#1) running MikroTik virtual appliance (CHR) in AWS (#2) using Virtual Private Gateway, a “cloud-native” networking solution provided by AWS. Each solution has its own benefits.
Every week, almost every day, whenever I have time. This is a massive commitment in my life to do better. I am primarily focused on human and leadership skills, LinkedIn Learning helped me a lot in preparation for my expert certifications, both Microsoft and AWS.
I started to learn AWS last summer as a 2nd cloud after my Microsoftee years. So many similarities, but different vocabulary. What is your profile? What’s the best learning path for you? How you can bring the most value to the organization supports your development plan?
Recently, I have installed several template virtual machines in my lab. My primary objective is to automate large-scale migrations to the AWS Cloud using the AWS CloudEndure Migration Factory Solution. The secondary objective is to test VMware HCX based migrations to Cloud. This article gives you an idea of how to prepare vSAN based nested LAB to achieve similar goals.
I am building my lab to support testing cloud migration tools. It is not only for “legacy” VMs but cloud native workloads as well. I deployed ESXi7 on nested Workstation 16, added Synology NAS via NFS to store ISOs, built core infra like DC on Windows Server 2022, and thought about the proper diagramming tool supports the hybrid design and automated deployment.
I am running an advanced multi-cloud hands-on lab environment and sharing my experiences on cutting-edge technology to save time for everyone interested.
My primary instest is migration and modernization of VMs, containers and database workloads.
I am lucky to have great friends at both Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, Oracle Cloud and VMware. We agreed to record quick 2-3 minute videos seeking together the future of IT workloads.
