Move to AWS with confidence.

A structured consulting engagement that takes you from on-premises or legacy cloud to AWS. Assessment, architecture, migration and handover in a fixed-scope engagement. No open-ended retainers.

Your team operates the result. We stay available for ongoing uplift through DevOps as a Service if you need it.

What you get

Migration Assessment

A structured review of your current workloads, dependencies and data flows. We identify what moves, what gets refactored and what gets retired before any work starts.

Architecture Design

AWS target architecture designed around your workloads. VPC layout, compute, storage, networking and HA patterns agreed before migration begins.

Data Migration

Databases, object storage and file systems moved to AWS with integrity checks, cutover planning and minimal downtime.

Application Replatforming

Applications containerised, replatformed or refactored to AWS-native services where it makes sense. We use the right migration strategy for each workload.

Security and Compliance

IAM policies, network security groups, encryption at rest and in transit and logging configured from day one. Aligned to your compliance requirements.

Handover and Training

Your team shadows the engagement from day one. Documentation, runbooks and training sessions delivered at handover so your engineers can operate and extend independently.

Fixed scope. Clear phases. Full handover.

Discovery

  • Workload inventory
  • Dependency mapping
  • Compliance requirements
  • Migration strategy per workload
  • Scope and timeline agreed

Migration

  • AWS architecture deployed
  • Data migrated and validated
  • Applications replatformed
  • Security controls configured
  • Cutover executed

Handover

  • Runbooks and documentation
  • Team training sessions
  • Monitoring and alerting live
  • Post-migration review
  • Signed-off handover

How it works

Each phase has a clear output. We do not start the next phase until the current one is signed off.

Discover

Workload inventory, dependency mapping, compliance review and migration strategy. Scope and timeline locked before any migration work begins.

Plan

AWS target architecture, data migration approach, cutover plan and risk register. Reviewed and agreed before execution.

Migrate

Infrastructure deployed, data migrated, applications replatformed, security configured. Your engineers paired in throughout.

Handover

Production environment signed off. Runbooks, training and monitoring in place. Your team operates it from day one.

Customer Testimonial

The migration was smooth. The insights and experience from the base2 team really showed and we went live without any issues.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a migration take?

Timeline depends on workload complexity. A focused engagement is typically 6 to 12 weeks. Larger environments can run 3 to 6 months. We agree the timeline during discovery.

Do you support hybrid environments?

Yes. We design hybrid architectures where workloads remain on-premises during or after migration, connected via Direct Connect or VPN.

What about downtime?

Cutover planning is part of every engagement. We use staged cutovers and replication-based approaches to keep impact minimal.

Which migration strategies do you use?

Rehost, replatform, refactor or retire. We recommend the right approach per workload during assessment.

Can you migrate our databases?

Yes. We migrate to RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB or other managed services with data validation and cutover planning included.

What happens after handover?

Your team operates the environment. Runbooks, documentation and training are included. DevOps as a Service is available for ongoing support.
