Workloads
Map the applications, information and dependencies that matter.
CSP SERVICES · AWS BUILT AROUND YOUR WORKLOADS
Amazon Web Services
Bring structure to AWS planning, migration, and operations with clear account ownership, deliberate architecture, and visibility into cost and responsibility.
Discuss your priorities
CLOUD & RESILIENCE
Connect the workload with the whole plan.
See the environment as a system: applications, access, ownership and the path back when something changes.
Access
Plan how people and systems connect to the environment.
Continuity
Define recovery responsibilities and a practical validation plan.
Your starting point · scope and responsibilities
START WITH THE BUSINESS NEED
Make the technology work for your people.
An application can launch quickly while the responsibilities around it remain unclear. Unowned accounts, inconsistent permissions, missing operational documentation, and unexpected consumption create friction later. AWS planning should address how the workload will be governed and maintained as well as how it is deployed.
Architecture tied to the application
Compare suitable services and deployment choices using workload behavior, availability needs, operational effort, and business constraints.
Visible ownership and spending
Connect accounts, resources, budgets, and alerts to the people responsible for each business service.
A practical operating model
Document the work retained by AWS, your team, Network Experts, and application specialists so essential tasks have an owner.
WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH
Practical capabilities. Defined responsibilities.
Workload and readiness review
Map applications, data, integrations, traffic, licensing, and business requirements. Compare migration, modernization, and hybrid options before selecting services.
Account and access organization
Review account ownership, administrative access, billing, environments, and change authority. Establish appropriate separation and documented access processes.
Cloud architecture and connectivity
Plan agreed compute, storage, networking, and integration needs. Review failure scenarios, resource dependencies, and recovery requirements with the workload owner.
Migration and deployment coordination
Pilot representative workloads, prepare migration waves, and define cutover authority and validation. Align infrastructure changes with application release and support processes.
Operations, monitoring, and cost visibility
Define resource review, alert routing, maintenance, backup responsibilities, and budget oversight. Evaluate cost changes against business and performance requirements.
Disaster recovery architecture and exercises
Design AWS Backup recovery plans for supported resources and compare backup-and-restore, pilot light, and warm standby scenarios. Test application recovery, permissions, network access, data validation, and failback against agreed business objectives. Our Backup & Disaster Recovery service covers these scenarios in detail.
FROM DISCOVERY TO DELIVERY
A considered path forward.
Understand the application
Identify business goals, workload behavior, dependencies, data needs, and the teams responsible for delivery.
Agree the design
Compare architecture choices, access, account organization, costs, protection, and ongoing operations.
Pilot and deploy
Test the proposed approach, implement approved changes, and validate the workflows the business relies on.
Review the operating environment
Revisit health, usage, spending, access, and recovery readiness as the workload and business change.
Know what success means.
Before work begins, agree on the scope, responsible owners, acceptance criteria, and handover requirements. We’ll discuss the evidence and documentation relevant to your project during discovery.
TECHNOLOGY IN CONTEXT
Fit the platform to the work.
Platform selection depends on your existing environment, licensing, device and application compatibility, and the agreed scope.
Explore our technology ecosystemA FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Before we get started.
Can you work alongside our application developers?
Yes. The scope should distinguish application code, releases, infrastructure, identity, monitoring, and incident ownership. Agreed handoffs and change windows help both teams understand where their responsibilities meet.
What does shared responsibility mean for our AWS environment?
AWS operates the underlying cloud infrastructure, while customers retain responsibilities that depend on the services they choose. The engagement should explicitly assign data, access, configuration, application, and operational tasks rather than assuming AWS manages the entire workload.
Can you review AWS costs before a migration?
A planning estimate can compare proposed resource use, transfer needs, licensing, migration work, and administration with the current environment. Usage assumptions need validation and should be revisited after a pilot and actual production operation.
Can AWS connect to systems that stay in our offices?
A hybrid design can connect agreed systems, but the assessment must consider latency, identity, data flows, connectivity, and application support. Some dependencies require coordinated changes or a different workload arrangement.
Can AWS provide a recovery destination for our business systems?
Potentially. First confirm application, operating-system, data, and licensing requirements. We compare a rebuild from protected backups with pilot light or warm standby designs, then validate user access and recovery in an exercise. Our Backup & Disaster Recovery service scopes the recovery objectives, responsibilities, and ongoing costs.
