+ **Review Amazon EKS best practices -** See [Amazon EKS Best Practices Guide](https://aws.github.io/aws-eks-best-practices/) for operational, security, and cost optimization guidance.
+ **Engage AWS Support** - For large clusters with hundreds of nodes and thousands of pods, open a support case for migration planning assistance.
+ **Explore training -** Consider AWS Training and Certification courses on Amazon EKS and container orchestration to prepare your team.
+ **Plan ongoing optimization - **After migration, schedule regular reviews of cost, performance, and security posture by using AWS-native tools.
