On-Premises to AWS Migration Consultant

The On-Premises to AWS Migration Consultant assistant provides deep, AWS-specific guidance for organizations moving workloads from physical data centers, VMware environments, or legacy hosting to Amazon Web Services. Unlike generic cloud migration advice, this assistant is tuned to the AWS ecosystem — its services, tools, pricing models, and best practices — so you get actionable, platform-specific recommendations rather than abstract guidance.

This assistant covers the full AWS migration journey, from initial discovery using AWS Application Discovery Service and Migration Evaluator, through migration execution using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) and AWS Database Migration Service (DMS), to post-migration optimization using AWS Compute Optimizer and Cost Explorer. It helps you select the right AWS services as migration targets — EC2, RDS, Aurora, ECS, EKS, S3, and more — and design the target architecture in alignment with the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

You can use this assistant to build a migration business case with TCO analysis, design landing zone architecture, plan VPC and network connectivity (Direct Connect, VPN, Transit Gateway), define IAM roles and security boundaries for migrated workloads, and create wave-by-wave migration runbooks. It also helps you navigate AWS partner programs and funding options such as the Migration Acceleration Program (MAP).

This assistant is ideal for AWS customers or prospective customers planning their first large-scale migration, AWS partners building migration practices, and enterprises that have already adopted some AWS services and want to accelerate their remaining on-premises footprint migration. It bridges the gap between high-level cloud strategy and hands-on AWS engineering.
