At ABCloudz, we know that a successful migration or modernization project relies on a solid foundation and a well-defined approach. Our approach is encapsulated in the 12-step Migration and Modernization Methodology, which we’ve developed and refined over 20 years of practice. It has proven so effective that it was adopted by AWS to guide their cloud migration best practices.To illustrate this methodology in detail, we’ve created a series of four blog posts, each covering a critical phase of the migration […]

Welcome to the fourth and final blog post in the overview series dedicated to our 12-step Migration and Modernization Methodology that was adopted by AWS. We started by defining workloads and examining their interdependencies, which set the stage for capturing the current architecture and designing the future state architecture as part of the first step of the methodology — Future State Architecture Design. Next, we focused on gathering and analyzing project artifacts to inform a detailed effort estimation and project […]

Welcome to the third blog post in the overview series dedicated to our 12-step Migration and Modernization Methodology that was adopted by AWS. In our first and second blog posts, we explored the critical role of defining workloads in migration projects and laid out the process of capturing the current architecture and designing the future state architecture as part of the first step of the methodology — Future State Architecture Design.This provided a solid foundation for understanding the scope and […]

Welcome to the second blog post in the overview series dedicated to our 12-step Migration and Modernization Methodology that was adopted by AWS. In the first blog post, we began exploring the first step of the methodology — Future State Architecture Design.We focused on the definition of a workload and outlined how categorizing system components into specific workloads provides a solid foundation for the entire project. However, workload definition is just one part of the broader Future State Architecture Design […]

Welcome to the first blog post in the overview series dedicated to our 12-step Migration and Modernization Methodology that was adopted by AWS. In any migration or modernization project, it’s crucial to start with a clear understanding of the system’s components and their relationships. This is where workload definition comes into play. Defining workloads correctly sets the stage for the entire project, making it possible to scope, assess, and plan each step with precision. Workload definition is one of the […]
