Utilize AWS services such as EC2, VPC, RDS, S3, IAM, CloudFormation, and Migration Hub to enable a seamless transition.
Establish best practices for AWS networking, security, and cost efficiency.

Post-Migration Modernization

Identify opportunities to optimize workloads through cloud-native solutions, including serverless computing, containerization (ECS/EKS), and microservices.
Develop a roadmap for refactoring or re-platforming applications to improve scalability, resilience, and efficiency.
Implement CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (IaC), and automated monitoring for cloud workloads.
Collaborate with developers, DevOps, and security teams to adopt modern cloud technologies and best practices.
