Cloud Wizard - AWS Migration Readiness Workshop

The AWS Migration Readiness Workshop is a 1-day consulting-led engagement designed to help organizations evaluate their readiness for migrating workloads to Amazon Web Services (AWS). Delivered by AWS-certified consultants from an AWS Advanced Training Partner and AWS Select Tier Services Partner, this workshop combines technical discovery, architecture reviews, and migration planning to produce a concrete, actionable migration roadmap. Cloud Wizard Consulting has delivered more than 100 workshops to date across diverse industries and environments.

Successful cloud migrations require more than moving workloads - they demand careful planning, stakeholder alignment, technical assessment, governance, security planning, and a well-defined migration strategy. This workshop helps organizations understand their current environment, identify migration challenges, and build a practical roadmap for cloud adoption aligned with the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP).

This is a 1-day engagement delivered remotely. The workshop begins with a discovery conversation to understand your environment, business objectives, migration timeline, and technical requirements. The workshop includes:

• Migration readiness assessment using AWS best practices
• Current-state infrastructure and application review
• Cloud adoption strategy discussions with key stakeholders
• Application and workload evaluation including dependency mapping
• AWS migration strategy analysis (7 Rs methodology)
• Architecture recommendations and risk identification
• Security, networking, governance, and compliance planning
• Executive and technical recommendations
• Phased migration roadmap with prioritized next steps
• Optional certification prep modules for your technical team

To set clear expectations, this engagement covers assessment and planning only. The following are explicitly out of scope:

• Hands-on migration execution or workload movement
• Tool licensing or procurement
• Ongoing managed services post-workshop
• Production environment changes

The workshop is designed for a core group of technical and business stakeholders. Scope is determined during a complimentary pre-engagement consultation where Cloud Wizard assesses your environment complexity and tailors the agenda accordingly.

Cloud Wizard Consulting holds both AWS Advanced Training Partner and AWS Select Tier Services Partner designations. This dual qualification means your consultants are also certified AWS trainers who embed knowledge transfer directly into the engagement. Unlike standard migration assessments, this workshop includes optional certification prep modules woven into the delivery - so your team builds migration planning skills and AWS certification readiness simultaneously. The result is faster post-workshop execution because your team understands both the roadmap and the underlying AWS services.

During this engagement, participants will:

• Assess organizational and technical cloud readiness
• Identify migration candidates and workload dependencies
• Evaluate infrastructure, applications, and operational processes
• Review AWS migration methodologies and the 7 Rs framework
• Identify security, networking, governance, and compliance considerations
• Develop a phased migration roadmap with clear priorities
• Prepare for AWS MAP initiatives where applicable
• Gain foundational AWS certification knowledge through optional prep modules

Following the workshop, participants receive:

• Migration Readiness Assessment findings
• Workload prioritization guidance
• Technical gap and risk analysis
• Phased migration plan with recommended sequencing
• Stakeholder alignment recommendations
• MAP preparation guidance where applicable
• Certification prep materials (when optional modules are included)

This workshop is designed for:

• IT Leadership and Technology Decision Makers
• Cloud Architects and Enterprise Architects
• Infrastructure and DevOps Teams
• Technical Project Managers
• Organizations planning AWS cloud adoption or preparing for MAP
