Secure Migration Strategy
We don't do blind "Lift & Shift". We design the migration path by evaluating dependencies, data latency, and tolerable downtime windows.
Cloud and Kubernetes migration with a clear transition plan
We plan and execute migrations from on-premise environments or other providers to cloud or Kubernetes, reducing risk, validating data and preparing rollback before the cutover.

CLOUD MIGRATION · VMWARE EXIT
WE CAN HELP IF
Your physical data centre is obsolete and hardware requires renewal.
You want to leave your current cloud provider due to costs or poor support.
You decided to adopt Kubernetes but lack the expertise to design the cluster from scratch.
The migration scares you because a prolonged outage would lose customers.
You need to move large data volumes while minimising the risk of loss or inconsistency during the transition.
Your internal team is focused on product and lacks bandwidth for a massive migration project.
WHAT WE DO
How we approach this service
Kubernetes (K8s) Adoption
We build secure and scalable clusters (EKS, GKE, AKS, OKE) tailored strictly to your workloads.
Execution & Cutover
We execute database synchronisation and DNS switching during the lowest traffic window, with a previously defined and tested contingency and rollback plan.
SCOPE
What the work can include
01
Inventory and Discovery
Exhaustive mapping of servers, databases, networks, and hidden dependencies.
02
IaC Provisioning
The new target environment is born 100% as code (Terraform) to ensure cleanliness and repeatability.
03
Data Migration
Continuous replication of databases and file storage long before the cutover.
04
Kubernetes Hardening
If migrating to K8s, we implement strict network policies and access controls (RBAC).
05
Rollback Plan
Technical guarantee to revert to the old system in minutes if something fails during the cutover window.
06
Load Testing
Performance validation of the new environment before routing real traffic.
OUTCOMES
What changes after the work
Complete a complex migration without the end-user experiencing traumatic downtime.
Use the move as an opportunity to eliminate technical debt and zombie servers.
Obtain a production-ready, fully secured Kubernetes cluster from Day 1.
Reduce migration risk through a rollback plan tested before the cutover window.
Modernise the tech stack, opening the door to real automated deployments.
HOW IT WORKS
How we work with your team
1
Analysis and Design
We evaluate the starting point (As-Is) and design the target architecture (To-Be) in the new provider or cluster.
2
Synchronisation
We spin up the new infrastructure and begin replicating data in the background without affecting the live service.
3
Testing and Validation
We deploy the application in the new environment and perform isolated smoke and load tests.
4
The Cutover
During a low-traffic window, we sync the final data delta, redirect traffic, and aggressively monitor.
WHAT YOU GET
What remains in your hands
- Migration Strategy Document (Cutover times, inventory, risks).
- Infrastructure as Code repository for the target environment.
- Detailed Cutover Plan runbook for migration day.
- Hypercare post-migration support during the first 7-14 days.
WHO THIS IS FOR
When it makes sense to hire it
This service is for you if:
- Companies operating on Bare Metal (physical servers) needing to jump to the public cloud.
- Startups that began on simple clouds (DigitalOcean, Heroku) and must migrate to AWS/GCP/OCI for maturity.
- Engineering teams ready for Kubernetes but demanding flawless cluster design.
We do not recommend it if:
- Small teams with simple monoliths where Kubernetes adds more complexity than benefit.
- Migrations of legacy closed transactional ERPs or Mainframes from the 90s.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When does it NOT make sense to migrate to Kubernetes?+
If you have a very small team, a single monolithic app with stable traffic, and your main issue is time, Kubernetes will add unmanageable cognitive load. In those cases, migrating to managed PaaS or simple containers (App Runner, Cloud Run) is much smarter.
How do you choose between EKS, AKS, GKE, or OKE?+
It depends on your ecosystem. EKS (AWS) is the industry standard. GKE (Google) is the most technologically mature. OKE (Oracle) offers an aggressive performance/cost ratio and is ideal if you heavily rely on Oracle DBs. We choose based on your business, not hype.
How is data managed during the cutover?+
We separate compute from state. Databases are replicated in real-time to the new environment weeks before migration. On cutover day, we only need to sync the final milliseconds (the "delta") and switch DNS, reducing downtime to minutes.
Will my monthly operation costs increase?+
Server-level costs usually consolidate and drop, but operational overhead (observability tools, load balancers) may rise slightly in the Cloud. We calculate the true TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) before moving a single byte so there are no surprises.
