StackTrack Cloud Migrations

Migrate to AWS when flexibility and control matter

Plan an AWS migration around landing-zone design, identity, networking, delivery paths, and governance so the platform is easier to run after workloads move.

When AWS is the right fit

AWS is often the right choice when teams need broad service coverage without losing control over how the platform is shaped.

It can be a strong fit for mixed application portfolios, complex networking, and estates that need room for different workload patterns over time.

How StackTrack approaches AWS migration

The provider is only one part of the decision. The harder work is shaping AWS into a platform that supports clear governance, reviewable access, and dependable delivery.

That means deciding the account model, IAM approach, networking boundaries, and delivery path before AWS flexibility turns into platform sprawl.

  • Design the account and environment model early

  • Treat IAM as a platform decision, not a setup task

  • Build delivery and operational guardrails before migration waves start

  • Control cost and service sprawl from the beginning

The next step should be to make those decisions explicit early, before migration scope hardens around assumptions that are expensive to unwind later.

Approach and Mitigation

  • Where AWS migrations go wrong

    AWS rarely causes problems because it lacks capability. The problems usually come from how much freedom it gives without enough design discipline.

    • IAM grows complex quickly and becomes hard to review

    • Account structure is decided too late or inconsistently

    • Networking and environment boundaries are too flat

    • Teams rely on vendor defaults where stronger controls are needed

    • Cost visibility becomes fragmented across services and accounts

    The result is an AWS estate that works, but is harder to govern, more expensive to run, and more dependent on a small number of experienced engineers than it should be.

  • A clearer landing zone.

    The AWS estate has account boundaries, environment structure, and networking patterns that support safer growth.

  • Stronger identity control.

    Roles, permissions, and service access paths are easier to reason about and review.

  • Safer delivery into AWS.

    CI/CD, observability, and operational controls survive the migration rather than being rebuilt later under pressure.

  • Better commercial control.

    Teams have a stronger starting point for cost visibility, accountability, and optimisation.

What you get

AWS landing zone

An AWS baseline shaped around account boundaries, shared services, and control points the organisation can actually operate.

AWS identity model

IAM and service identity patterns that keep privilege reviewable and ownership clear as the estate grows.

AWS network and account design

Account and network design that reduces sprawl without hiding responsibility behind centralised shared services.

AWS delivery controls

Release and change paths that stay dependable on AWS instead of creating a second, more fragile delivery system.

AWS cost and observability

Operational visibility and spend accountability that help teams spot drift before AWS flexibility turns into platform noise.

How the service works

Move or modernise

1

AWS Migration Readiness Assessment

Decide whether AWS is the right move now, which workloads should not move into AWS as-is, and what would create avoidable risk if carried forward.

Assess migration readiness
2

AWS Migration Readiness Review

Make the early AWS decisions explicit before scope hardens: workload fit, account model, control ownership, delivery impact, and the conditions for a safe start.

3

AWS Migration Foundation Sprint

Resolve the AWS decisions that cannot wait until cutover, so the target platform is ready for change before the first workload lands.

4

Scoped AWS Migration Engagement

Move the right workloads once the AWS platform, delivery path, and operating model are clear, with ownership defined beyond cutover.
