AWS Migration Assessment

Evaluate source infrastructure, map application dependencies, plan target cloud architectures, and identify cutover risks before migrating.

Overview & Operational Context

Moving on-premises or co-located servers into AWS requires methodical discovery, accurate dependency mapping, and realistic architecture design. Kervora Cloud evaluates your existing workloads to produce a structured roadmap, target architecture blueprints, and a controlled cutover strategy. Where a migration requires specialist capability outside the agreed scope, Kervora can work alongside appropriate delivery partners rather than taking unnecessary risk with your environment.

Technical Scope

What we inspect and evaluate

Every review is tailored to your architecture while maintaining systematic rigor across primary risk vectors.

1

Workload Inventory & Discovery

Cataloguing of physical servers, virtual machines, database engines, operating systems, and application frameworks.

2

Dependency & Network Mapping

Analysis of inter-service communications, external third-party integrations, port requirements, and latency sensitivities.

3

Target Architecture Design

Drafting of recommended AWS foundations: VPC layout, subnet routing, compute strategy (EC2, ECS, or Serverless), and managed RDS services.

4

Security & Compliance Boundaries

Definition of IAM landing zone requirements, encryption standards, network segmentation, and perimeter firewalls.

5

Migration Approach (7 Rs)

Assessment of whether workloads should be Rehosted, Replatformed, Refactored, or Retired based on business priorities.

6

Cutover & Rollback Considerations

Planning data synchronization methods, maintenance windows, DNS transition procedures, and structured rollback triggers.

What you will understand afterwards

The feasibility and technical prerequisites of migrating your workloads to AWS
A clear target architecture suited to your specific reliability and scaling needs
Potential migration bottlenecks, data transfer constraints, and dependency risks
A phased implementation plan that minimizes disruption to ongoing business operations
