Capability guide

Cloud Migration & Modernization

Moving a workload and redesigning it are different decisions. This guide connects cloud assessment, migration waves and application modernization so you can choose a sensible sequence instead of inheriting a rewrite by default.

Understand the scope.

Plan the move and the change together. The right starting point depends on what already exists, which decisions are open and the people who will operate or use the result.

A focused assessment can establish the unknowns. Implementation delivers an agreed change. Ongoing services and embedded specialists require their own responsibility and coverage terms.

Explore the individual services.

Choose the topic you need to inspect. Each page explains the specific work, a practical example, deliverables and its operating boundaries.

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.

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.

AWS Migration

An AWS migration transfers selected workloads into an AWS environment with the account, networking, identity and operating foundations they need.

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.

Google Cloud Migration

Google Cloud migration brings workloads into a Google Cloud environment while preserving required application behavior, access controls and operating ownership.

You are adopting Google Cloud or consolidating into it and need a practical plan for projects, connectivity, data and the applications that depend on them.

Microservices Transformation

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.

Release coordination or uneven scaling is limiting a monolithic application, and you need to understand which boundaries are worth separating.

What a useful handover contains.

The exact outputs follow the engagement. This capability group can include workload assessment, migration waves, cutover & rollback plan.

Agree the acceptance evidence, repository or record location and next operating owner before the work begins. Exceptions and unfinished dependencies remain visible in the handover.

Connect expertise to ownership.

DotConn

Coordinates the agreed assessment, implementation or service activities, directly or with the required specialist support. The scope defines the decisions, checks and records to be delivered.

Your team

Provides business priorities, authorized access and accountable reviewers. Customer-directed individual staffing remains distinct from a DotConn-coordinated team or managed service.

Make commitments explicit

Zero-downtime migration is a target to evaluate per workload, with agreed cutover criteria. Continuing cost governance belongs in Managed TechOps & FinOps.

Questions before you begin.

Should migration and modernization happen together?

Sometimes, but only where dependencies, risk and business value justify it. Record what must change for the move and what can improve later.

Can we start with only one service in this group?

Yes. Start with a bounded requirement, then connect adjacent work only when the dependencies or intended outcome justify it. Your enquiry can name the specific capability and current constraint.
