Benefits of AWS MAP: An Effective Cloud Migration Strategy

Migrating to AWS Cloud opens up new opportunities for your business: scalability, high resilience, and access to cutting-edge technologies. AWS cloud infrastructure allows cost optimization by reducing maintenance and automation expenses while ensuring a high level of data security. You will be able to implement innovative solutions faster and enhance competitiveness. Moreover, AWS compensates for migration project costs through funding. Using AWS enables you to focus on business growth rather than routine infrastructure management, accelerating digital transformation and promoting sustainable growth.

Keeneo utilizes MAP 2.0 to transition projects to the cloud, combining in-depth analysis of current infrastructure with clear planning for each migration stage. We start with a detailed system assessment and identification of key risks, allowing us to develop an optimal scenario for transferring workloads to AWS. This approach minimizes downtime, reduces costs, and enhances data security, helping clients migrate to a more flexible, efficient, and scalable platform.

Our team consists of cloud architects, project managers, DevOps, and SecOps engineers. The seamless interaction of all team members ensures control over the process at all stages—from preparing a detailed plan to post-migration optimization support. Thanks to this structured approach, we consistently modernize legacy systems of any complexity and scale with high business process efficiency and guarantee the stable operation of modernized projects.

Stages of AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP)

The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) is based on several key pillars, each playing a crucial role in ensuring a successful and efficient migration to the cloud.

Assessment

A detailed analysis of the current IT environment, including inventory of applications, services, servers, databases, and network infrastructure.
Identifying dependencies, risk assessment, and calculating total cost of ownership when transitioning to the cloud.
Determining migration priorities, allowing focus on the most suitable workloads first.

Mobilization

Forming a team of cloud architects, DevOps/SecOps/MLOps/Data engineers, and a project manager.
Developing a detailed migration strategy and plan, creating a roadmap for a phased transition to the target architecture.
Establishing the target cloud infrastructure (“landing zone”) with deployment settings, security configurations, access management, and monitoring, as well as training the team in AWS operations.

Migration and Modernization

Implementing workload migrations to the cloud using specialized tools (e.g., AWS Migration Hub, AWS Application Migration Service).
Conducting pilot testing to validate the strategy, minimize downtime, and mitigate risks during large-scale migration.
If necessary, adapting and optimizing applications for more efficient cloud usage (e.g., transitioning to containerization or serverless architecture).

Operation and Optimization

Post-migration support and transitioning cloud infrastructure management to continuous operations.
Continuous monitoring, performance analysis, and cost optimization using AWS tools (e.g., CloudWatch, AWS Config).
Conducting regular assessments using the AWS Well-Architected Framework to identify optimization and modernization points in line with evolving business requirements.

Benefits of Using MAP

Utilizing the MAP framework offers several significant advantages that help ensure an efficient and secure migration to AWS Cloud.

Structured Approach

The framework provides a step-by-step migration methodology, enabling systematic assessment, preparation, and implementation of the transition while minimizing uncertainties and errors.

Risk Reduction

Detailed analysis of the current infrastructure and a sequential migration approach reduce technical and business risks.

Cost Optimization

MAP helps determine the most cost-effective migration strategies, optimize resource usage in the cloud, and lower overall IT infrastructure costs through pay-as-you-go models.

Keeneo Support

Keeneo provides access to advanced expertise, tools, and best practices, significantly accelerating and simplifying the migration process.

Automation and Standardization of Processes

Using specialized migration tools enables automation of routine operations, reducing migration time and increasing reliability.

Infrastructure Preparation

The framework includes establishing a foundational cloud infrastructure with configured security, monitoring, and management mechanisms, serving as a reliable basis for further development.

Flexibility and Scalability

MAP allows adapting the migration strategy to specific business needs and gradually scaling the solution, which is especially important when dealing with large and complex IT systems.

Post-Migration Optimization

The program supports ongoing infrastructure improvement through regular monitoring reports, performance optimization, and cost control.
