Cloud Migration

Discovery of Resources on DC  suitable for cloud

• By interviewing the business/IT personnel and capture the details of Infrastructure  for Cloud Feasibility study.
• Analyze their workloads and usage on onprem for Cloud cost.
• Review Operating systems, Licenses to compare a better Cloud solution.
• Discover the dependencies of other subsystems,API’S , any SAAS products.

Cloud Assessments

• Upon Discovery, we create a Cloud template for each server and provide a TCO estimates for the Cloud project.
• We Identify the resources, time, Level of Effort required to complete the migration.
• We lay out details on any Risks,gotchas,unknowns..etc and the ways to mitigate.
• We create a Cloud Migration Plan and identify suitable tools
• for the migration of Infrastructure and other resources.

Cloud Migrations

• Setup Account on AWS/Azure and apply Best Practices like MFA, CloudTrail, Logging and Billing Alerts.
• Create IAM users with appropriate Fine grained user access with roles, privileges with standard ,custom policies if required.
• Create VPC, Networking, public subnets, private subnets, NAT gateways, NACLS, Security groups…etc.
• Use Migration tools like SMS(server migration service),VM export/import, Cloud Endure..etc to migrate servers to cloud
• Test/Validate the migrated resources .
• Enable Monitoring using cloud native tools like cloud watch or 3rd party if required for the performance of the systems.

Cloud Journey – Execution and Support

• Implement Advanced Monitoring if required, setup Alerts and Notifications from the resources.
• Monitor and tweak any Instance types for cost savings.
• Focus on cost optimization when services running on cloud.
• Suggest the findings and recommendations .
• Training Internal resources on the usage of cloud.
• Project close out and push to Operations team.
