Overview
Migration and Modernisation to AWS Cloud helps organisations relocate on-premises, data-centre, and legacy cloud workloads to Amazon Web Services with minimal disruption, then evolves priority applications into scalable, cloud-native architectures. The engagement begins with a discovery and assessment phase covering application dependencies, licensing, and TCO modelling, followed by design and build-out of a secure, multi-account AWS Landing Zone using AWS Control Tower, AWS Organizations, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). Migration execution leverages AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) for lift-and-shift rehosting, AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) and AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) for database moves, and AWS Migration Hub for centralised tracking across the portfolio — all built on infrastructure-as-code with AWS CloudFormation for repeatable, auditable deployments.
Beyond rehosting, the service supports replatforming and refactoring workloads onto managed AWS services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon ECS/EKS, and AWS Lambda, reducing operational overhead and unlocking elasticity, containerisation, and serverless patterns. Architecture and operational readiness are validated against the AWS Well-Architected Framework across security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimisation, and sustainability pillars, with Amazon CloudWatch and AWS Cost Explorer configured for ongoing observability and cost governance post-migration.
Customers benefit from reduced infrastructure and licensing costs, improved uptime and disaster recovery posture, faster deployment cycles through CI/CD-ready environments, and a clear path to modernisation rather than a one-time "lift and shift."

Highlights
- End-to-end AWS cloud migration — from discovery and TCO assessment through secure landing zone setup and workload cutover, minimizing downtime and risk during the move.
- AWS modernisation beyond lift-and-shift — replatform and refactor applications onto managed services like Amazon ECS/EKS, RDS, and Lambda to cut operational overhead and improve scalability.
- Well-Architected, cost-optimised outcomes — post-migration governance with AWS Cost Explorer and CloudWatch to reduce infrastructure spend and improve reliability over time.
