Accelerated AWS Migration for Seamless Post-Acquisition Integration
After a strategic acquisition, a certified MSP focused on hybrid cloud, DevOps, and Big Data needed to migrate the acquired company’s AWS infrastructure into its own account within just 15 days. With multiple Lambdas and microservices in scope, the migration required a secure, well-structured approach aligned with AWS best practices, ensuring a smooth transition into the new development environment.
Success Highlights
- 70+ services migrated in 12 days ahead of the 15-day deadline
- 15% potential annual infrastructure savings through optimized AWS alignment
- 20% reduction in operational time via streamlined monitoring and deployment workflows
Key Details
-
Industry: Information Technology / Cloud Services
-
Geographies: US
-
Platform: AWS Dev environment
Business Challenge
The acquisition required rapid consolidation of infrastructure while maintaining operational continuity.
-
Seamless Post-Acquisition Integration: The acquired organization’s cloud infrastructure needed secure integration into the client’s AWS account.
-
High-Volume Workload Migration: Migration of 40 AWS Lambdas and 30 microservices within a strict 15-day deadline.
-
DevOps Pipeline Continuity: Existing Azure DevOps repositories and pipelines required restructuring to function in the new AWS Dev environment.
Our Solution Approach
We implemented a structured migration plan focused on repository integration, pipeline configuration, and AWS-compliant deployment practices.
Audit Existing Infrastructure & Pipelines
Reviewed Azure DevOps repositories, branch structures, and environment variables to map migration dependencies.
Clone & Reconfigure Repositories
Cloned Azure DevOps repositories using Visual Studio and modified environment variables to align with the new AWS Dev account.
Migrate Lambdas & Microservices
Rebuilt, deployed, and validated 40 Lambdas and 30 microservices in the new AWS Dev environment.
Align with AWS Best Practices
Ensured proper IAM configurations, deployment automation, and monitoring consistency post-migration.
Technical Highlights
- Migration of 40 AWS Lambda functions
- Deployment of 30 containerized microservices Azure DevOps repository cloning and pipeline reconfiguration Environment variable remapping for AWS Dev accounts
- CI/CD pipeline validation and deployment testing IAM alignment and security best-practice enforcement Infrastructure monitoring and logging configuration
