The situation
A business needs to leave a hosting environment but cannot move every application at once.
AWS & Google Cloud Migration
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.
- Workload discovery
- Target and sequence
- Cutover and acceptance
Is this right for you?
When this is the right work.
You need a cloud move that accounts for application dependencies, change windows and business continuity, rather than treating every workload as the same lift-and-shift exercise.
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
Workload discovery
Map applications, data flows, ownership and external dependencies. Identify workloads that should remain, retire, rehost or change.
- 02
Target and sequence
Compare AWS and Google Cloud against constraints. Design foundations and migration waves with clear decision points.
- 03
Cutover and acceptance
Agree data checks, traffic changes, recovery options and operational handover before moving production.
Deliverables
What you receive.
Acceptance criteria identify the checks, records and handover needed for the agreed scope.
- Workload and dependency inventory
- Target architecture and migration-wave plan
- Cutover, validation and rollback runbooks
In practice
A practical example.
Our approach
We scope a first wave around a dependency boundary, identify shared services and rehearse the data and traffic transition.
The useful result
The customer can review the move sequence, acceptance evidence and the conditions for rollback.
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
Downtime, dual-running costs and recovery targets depend on each workload. A cloud move does not automatically resolve application design or operating gaps.
FAQ
Questions worth resolving.
Should we modernize everything during migration?
Only where the benefit and risk justify it. Separate essential changes from improvements that can follow a verified move.

Microservices transformation separates selected application capabilities into independently changeable services. It also creates new contracts, failure modes and operating responsibilities that must be designed deliberately.
