Migration Assessment

1. Workload Analysis

   • Application dependencies and architecture
   • Data volume and transfer requirements
   • Performance and latency requirements
   • Compliance and regulatory constraints

2. 6R Strategy Recommendation

   • Rehost (lift-and-shift): EC2, VMware Cloud on AWS
   • Replatform (lift-tinker-shift): RDS, Elastic Beanstalk
   • Repurchase (drop-and-shop): SaaS alternatives
   • Refactor (re-architect): Serverless, containers, microservices
   • Retire: Identify unused applications
   • Retain: Keep on-premises for now

3. Migration Planning

   • Wave planning and dependencies
   • Network connectivity (Direct Connect, VPN)
   • Data migration strategy (DMS, DataSync, Snowball)
   • Cutover plan and rollback strategy

4. Cost Estimation

   • Current state TCO
   • Future state AWS costs
   • Migration costs and timeline
