Cloud Modernization Assessment

What's Included

Our Cloud Modernization Assessment service on AWS Marketplace encompasses a holistic evaluation and planning phase to guide your on-premises application's transition to AWS, delivered as a fixed-scope engagement typically spanning 4-6 weeks:

• Current State Analysis: A detailed review of your existing on-premises infrastructure, including application architecture, compute, storage, networking, and dependencies, to map workloads for cloud-native refactoring.
• Modernization Opportunities: Identification of opportunities to adopt AWS cloud-native services (e.g., ECS/EKS for container orchestration, Lambda for serverless functions, and Aurora for database scalability), with recommendations for microservices decomposition, API modernization, and IaC adoption.
• Modernization Plan: A comprehensive, phased roadmap outlining step-by-step migration strategies, timelines, resource requirements, and tools like AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) or Database Migration Service (DMS), including testing and validation protocols.
• Cost Estimation: Precise projections of migration and ongoing operational costs, factoring in AWS pricing models (e.g., Savings Plans) and optimization strategies to achieve cost reductions.
• Knowledge Transfer: Customized training sessions and documentation to empower your team with AWS best practices, cloud-native development patterns, and tools for sustained management post-migration.

Key Benefits

We bring together our AWS Solution Architects and your team to conduct a full Cloud Modernization Assessment on AWS Marketplace empowers your organization with tangible advantages, driving long-term efficiency and innovation:

• Comprehensive Evaluation: Uncover hidden inefficiencies in your on-premises setup, providing actionable insights to prioritize high-impact modernization efforts and reduce technical debt.
• Cost Optimization: Achieve significant savings by identifying opportunities for right-sizing resources and leveraging AWS cost-management tools, lowering infrastructure expenses.
• Accelerated Provisioning: Reduce environment setup time by up to 80% using automated IaC templates and GitOps workflows.
• Performance Improvements: Enhance application scalability and responsiveness through cloud-native designs, supporting elastic scaling to handle variable workloads without over-provisioning.
• Security Enhancements: Strengthen your security posture with AWS-native features like IAM, GuardDuty, and encryption, ensuring compliance with standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2.

Proven Approach

Our proven methodology for cloud modernization assessments follows a rigorous, data-driven process refined through numerous enterprise engagements, ensuring a low-risk path to AWS cloud-native rebuilds:

• Discovery Phase: Collaborate with your stakeholders to inventory the on-premises application, analyzing code, dependencies, and performance metrics using AWS tools like CloudWatch and SCT for database schemas.
• Assessment Phase: Evaluate migration feasibility, simulating cloud-native architectures in AWS sandboxes to test refactoring options (e.g., containerizing monolithic apps with ECS) and assess automation readiness.
• Planning Phase: Develop a granular roadmap with phased milestones—discovery, refactoring, migration, testing, optimization, and IaC implementation —incorporating rollback strategies and integration with AWS services like CodePipeline for CI/CD and Terraform Cloud.
• Optimization Phase: Recommend AI-enhanced enhancements, such as Amazon SageMaker for predictive analytics or Lambda for event-driven processing, to maximize post-migration value.
• Execution Readiness: Deliver a handover with executable blueprints, cost models, IaC repositories, and training, aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework for sustained success.

This approach has consistently delivered 95% on-time migrations with minimal disruptions.
