Scope

What this service can cover

The exact implementation follows the environment and the signed scope. These are the technical workstreams most often composed for AWS Database Migration.

01

Compatibility assessment

Inventory engines, versions, extensions, schemas, procedures, clients, throughput, recovery objectives, and licensing.

02

Target and migration design

Choose managed or self-managed targets and select native tools, AWS DMS, schema conversion, or staged alternatives.

03

Replication and cutover

Configure full load and change data capture where appropriate, monitor lag, rehearse, freeze writes, and switch clients.

04

Validation and tuning

Check row counts, checksums, application behavior, query performance, backups, monitoring, and rollback readiness.

Work products

What the client receives

  • Compatibility and target decision record
  • Migration and rollback runbooks
  • Replication configuration and validation evidence
  • Performance baseline and operating handoff
Delivery approach

From current state to client-owned handoff

01

Assess database estate

Inventory the database estate workloads, dependencies, data, access, operating constraints, and business windows that change the AWS path.

02

Design the AWS target

Define landing, identity, network, security, data, observability, workload treatment, acceptance, and rollback requirements.

03

Migrate in waves

Build prerequisites, rehearse where useful, move bounded database estate waves, and validate application, data, security, performance, and operations.

04

Stabilize and transfer

Close cutover issues, confirm monitoring and recovery, document ownership, and hand off decommissioning and follow-up work.

FAQ

Scoping AWS Database Migration

Does every database workload move the same way?

No. Treatment follows application and data dependencies, supportability, risk, economics, operating goals, and the acceptable change window.

How is downtime handled?

The plan records the allowed interruption, replication or synchronization path, rehearsal, validation, rollback, communications, and accountable decision owner.

Does the scope include what happens after cutover?

Yes. The SOW defines stabilization, observability, recovery checks, documentation, ownership transfer, and any decommissioning or modernization backlog.
