Context before configuration.
A server list is only the starting point. Dependencies, data movement, licensing and the people operating each application determine how a migration should proceed.
When this service fits
- Moving from an on-premises data centre or another cloud
- Replacing ageing infrastructure or planning a hosting renewal
- Consolidating workloads while keeping business services available
How the work comes together.
Discover & assess
Build an application inventory, map dependencies and capture availability, data, licensing and business constraints.
Design the destination
Define the account, network, identity and logging foundations. Compare rehosting, replatforming and modernisation for each workload.
Pilot & migrate
Use a representative pilot to test tooling, replication and operational readiness before sequencing migration waves.
Cut over & hand over
Agree change windows, validation steps and rollback criteria. Transfer runbooks and ownership after business checks pass.
AWS components we consider.
The final selection follows the workload, compatibility and regional requirements. These components are a starting point for design.
AWS Transform MGN
Server replication and rehosting, where the source environment is supported.
AWS Database Migration Service
Database migration and change replication after engine and schema assessment.
Amazon VPC & AWS Organizations
Network boundaries and account structure for the target environment.
Amazon CloudWatch
Monitoring and validation of the migrated workload.
What you receive.
- Workload inventory and dependency map
- Target architecture and cost assumptions
- Migration wave plan with owners and change windows
- Cutover, validation and rollback runbook
- Operational handover and outstanding-actions register
Agree how success is checked.
- Application owners complete agreed functional checks.
- Data reconciliation and connectivity checks meet the acceptance criteria.
- Monitoring, access and recovery procedures are handed over.
What we need from you
Application owners, source-system access, current infrastructure and licensing information, sample performance data and acceptable change windows.
How the scope is defined
Migration scope, source support, data transfer costs and any application remediation are agreed during assessment. Cutover timing depends on discovery and pilot results.
