Organizations running migration projects don’t always operate in a single shared language. Migration teams span geographies, and the people closest to the workloads are often the ones who understand dependencies, business context, and operational risk. They need to work in the language they’re most comfortable with. Today, we’re announcing local language support for the AWS Transform migrations […]

Planning is a critical phase of any cloud migration. You invest significant time coordinating across stakeholders and mapping dependencies to build detailed wave plans. Yet despite this effort, many plans quickly diverge from reality as infrastructure changes, applications get updated, and business priorities shift. An inaccurate plan carries real risk: a migration wave can fail […]

Introduction Consider a team with over 400 servers to migrate, dozens of applications with varying dependencies, and multiple teams waiting on cutover windows. Every migration is unique, yet the challenges remain consistent. Teams struggle with manual tracking through spreadsheets, human errors in repetitive tasks like agent installation and DNS updates, decentralized orchestration across disconnected consoles, […]

When enterprises embark on their cloud migration journey, they bring years of operational maturity from running their workloads on-premises: separate environments for development, testing, and production, often segmented by business unit, with dedicated infrastructure, network boundaries, and identity controls for each. Translating these well-established patterns into cloud-native constructs like account structures, organizational units (OUs), and […]

Introduction Migration assessment and planning is rarely a single-pass exercise. Inventory data is incomplete; assumptions shift as more stakeholders get involved, and new scenarios emerge as the strategy evolves. Traditional assessment workflows struggle with this reality because they treat each assessment as a one-shot report: collect data, run analysis, deliver a static business case, and […]

Introduction Lift-and-shift has a reputation problem. Ask any enterprise architect and you’ll get a wince. “We just moved our problems to the cloud.” That criticism has a grain of truth – but only when migration is treated as the end goal. The real question is whether it’s the right first step. Often, it is. Here’s […]

An AI migration means different things to different teams, and that ambiguity is expensive. Are you migrating with AI, to AI, or from AI? The answer shapes your staffing plan, governance model, and timeline, because each motion carries a different risk profile and demands a different set of skills. Gartner found that by the end […]

You may need to run workloads in your data center on AWS Outposts for low-latency access to on-premises systems, data residency requirements, or local data processing. With Outposts, you get the same AWS APIs, instance types, and tools available in the AWS Region, on hardware that AWS delivers, installs, and manages in your facility. But […]

Traditional VMware migrations have long suffered from fragmentation and inflexibility. Enterprises had to cobble together disconnected tools for discovery, planning, network configuration, and rehosting, each requiring specialized expertise and lengthy manually orchestrated handoffs. These rigid, rules-based tools can’t adapt to each customer’s unique environment, resulting in compounding costs, expensive customizations, and timelines that stretch into […]
