What is AWS Migration Service?
AWS Migration Services help businesses move applications, servers, databases, virtual machines, and workloads from on-premises infrastructure, legacy hosting, or other cloud providers to Amazon Web Services. A structured migration approach reduces downtime, protects data, and lowers migration risks.
Every migration has unique requirements. AWS cloud migration services include assessment, planning, migration execution, testing, security validation, rollback planning, and post-migration support to reduce disruptions.
Bobcares provides AWS migration consulting services for server, application, database, and VMware migration, along with AWS readiness assessments, landing zone preparation, and post-migration optimization. With 25+ years of infrastructure experience, we support secure, reliable AWS migrations to keep transitions smooth and free of disruptions.

Our AWS Migration Services Framework
Our AWS migration process helps businesses move workloads to AWS with better planning, controlled execution, and post-migration support.
STEP 01
Discovery and Dependency Mapping
Days 1–15
During this period, we will review the existing environment, identify workloads, and map the infrastructure and application dependencies.STEP 02
Architecture and Migration Readiness
Days 15–30
We create the AWS architecture, evaluate the migration risks, and perform test migrations to assess migration readiness.STEP 03
Migration Execution and Cutover
Migration Window
Workloads are migrated in a controlled manner with planned cutover activities and rollback readiness.STEP 04
Hypercare and Optimization
Post-Go-Live
We provide hypercare support, performance tuning, monitoring, and ongoing optimization after migration.

Case Studies
An asset management platform was facing rising costs from AWS across its production, pre-prod, and test environments.
- High AWS costs from underused infrastructure
- Unused resources create recurring charges
- Poor visibility into infrastructure usage
- Operational overhead across environments
- Reviewed AWS infrastructure usage and costs
- Performed EC2 rightsizing based on actual demand
- Removed unused storage, snapshots, logs, and AMIs
- Executed changes with monitoring and validation
- AWS costs have reduced significantly
- Infrastructure usage improved
- Redundant resources removed
- Zero downtime during implementation

An organization that manages multiple AWS environments does not have a structured way to manage snapshots.
- Inconsistent backup coverage
- Growing storage costs from legacy snapshots
- No monitoring for snapshot failures
- Weak disaster recovery readiness
- Audited snapshot usage and retention practices
- Defined automated snapshot lifecycle policies
- Recommended tagging, monitoring, and alerting controls
- Planned controlled cleanup and recovery validation
- Backup coverage improved across environments
- Snapshot storage usage has been reduced
- Monitoring visibility improved
- Recovery workflows became more structured
