$85.00 Hourly
Overview:
We are a web hosting company moving our client's applications from an older server to a new, more powerful one. We need to perform this migration with minimal disruption to their services.
The Challenge:
We need to migrate multiple client websites to a new server, but we are worried about downtime. Our current plan is not robust enough to ensure a smooth transition, and any service interruption would be highly damaging to our clients.
Problems Caused:
A poorly planned migration could result in significant downtime for our clients, leading to a loss of business and damage to our reputation. A flawed migration process also increases the risk of data loss.
Proposed Method:
The freelancer will create and execute a detailed migration plan. This includes a pre-migration checklist, a strategy to minimize downtime (e.g., using a reverse proxy or DNS manipulation), a validation plan for post-migration, and a rollback strategy in case of failure.
Required Skills:
- Expertise in server migration methodologies.
- Experience with DNS management and reverse proxies (e.g., Nginx).
- Strong proficiency in Linux system administration.
- Excellent project management and communication skills.
Experience Required:
5+ years of experience in systems administration or DevOps with a proven track record of successful migrations.
Delivery:
A successful server migration with less than 5 minutes of total downtime.
Support:
We require 2 weeks of post-delivery support to ensure the new server is stable and to address any lingering issues.
