MIGRATION / FIELD GUIDE

Before you move your first workload

A preparation list for a business owner and an IT generalist planning their first AWS move.

01

Know what must keep working

  • List the application, database, file shares and scheduled tasks.
  • Identify who can test an order, login or other critical transaction.
  • Check vendor support and licence-transfer conditions.
02

Prepare a realistic change window

  • Find the people who control DNS, certificates and integrations.
  • Estimate data volume and ask when writes can pause.
  • Agree who can stop the migration and trigger rollback.
03

Bring the facts to a free assessment

  • Share an inventory and available hosting costs, without credentials.
  • State the contract renewal date and acceptable interruption.
  • List unknowns; discovery can be scoped after the first discussion.

Bring this to your next discussion

Email Sunrise for a free migration assessment. We will agree the initial scope and discuss whether a pilot and MAP eligibility review are appropriate.
