The situation
A SaaS business is moving one customer-facing workload into AWS.
AWS Migration
An AWS migration transfers selected workloads into an AWS environment with the account, networking, identity and operating foundations they need.
- Readiness and portfolio
- AWS foundations
- Move and verify
Is this right for you?
When this is the right work.
A data-center exit, changing hosting terms or a product expansion has made an AWS move necessary, but the application and operational dependencies are still unclear.
The first conversation establishes the environment, the constraint and who will accept the result. We agree a bounded starting point before expanding the engagement.
Scope
What DotConn delivers.
- 01
Readiness and portfolio
Assess current workloads, licensing, connectivity, data movement and the business case for AWS.
- 02
AWS foundations
Scope the account structure, network paths, identity boundaries and logging required for the migration.
- 03
Move and verify
Run agreed migration waves with replication or transfer methods suited to the workload, then validate users, data and operations.
Deliverables
What you receive.
Acceptance criteria identify the checks, records and handover needed for the agreed scope.
- AWS readiness and workload disposition record
- Landing-zone and connectivity design
- Wave-specific cutover and acceptance evidence
In practice
A practical example.
Our approach
We identify database dependencies, prepare the target environment and rehearse application startup and traffic switching.
The useful result
A migration decision record makes readiness gaps and release acceptance visible to the business owner.
Responsibility
Agree the responsibility.
DotConn
Assesses and delivers the technical work in the agreed scope, with reviewable changes and handover. Continuing operation requires a separately defined managed-service scope.
Your team
Provides authorized access, business priorities and accountable decision-makers; approves policy choices and accepts the agreed result.
Set this boundary early
AWS service charges, third-party licensing and migration downtime are evaluated explicitly. No partner-funded assessment or AWS partner status is implied.
FAQ
Questions worth resolving.
Is an AWS-managed service the same as a fully managed application?
No. The engagement must identify which platform responsibilities AWS handles and which application, configuration and operational tasks remain with your team or DotConn.
Pricing, timing and how to prepare are covered in working with DotConn.

Cloud migration moves applications, data and dependencies into a target cloud environment. The important decision is what to move, what to change and what the operating team will need afterwards.
