Amazon Web Services dominates the cloud market, and many businesses search for ‘migration to cloud AWS’ to learn how to make the move. The key is following best practices while leveraging tools that minimise downtime.
Start with a discovery phase: map your applications, data stores and dependencies. Define roles and responsibilities so your team knows who handles infrastructure, security and application changes. Calculate all costs associated with the migration, including AWS services, licences and training.
Select the right migration strategy. AWS’s 7R model provides options such as rehosting, replatforming and refactoring. Use automated replication tools to synchronise workloads and reduce downtime. After cutover, monitor performance and costs, and validate that your goals have been met.
Enterprises often establish a migration factory to handle large AWS migrations, automating tasks and leveraging repeatable patterns. Consider engaging AWS‑certified partners to complement internal skills. Invest in testing to validate system behaviour and compliance after migration .
