What cloud migration covers

Migration is not a one-day event — it is a 4–8 week process with clear phases, checkpoints, and a tested rollback before anything touches production.

Discovery and planning

Application portfolio audit, dependency mapping, TCO analysis (current vs projected cloud cost over 3 years), compliance requirements, and sequencing strategy. Non-critical workloads go first to build the playbook.

Architecture design

VPC design, subnets, security groups, IAM roles, and networking configuration scoped before a single VM moves. Multi-AZ, multi-region, or single-region depending on your SLA requirements.

Data migration

Replication-based migration with lag monitoring. We migrate data in parallel with production running, then execute a brief cutover window — typically under 30 minutes of read-only mode.

Rollback planning

Every migration includes a documented, tested rollback procedure. If the cutover fails the health check, we roll back in minutes. We do not go live until rollback has been tested in staging.

Post-migration optimization

30-day baseline after cutover, then right-sizing. Reserved Instance and Savings Plan purchasing after the baseline. Security hardening review. Handoff to managed ops or your internal team.

Multi-cloud capability

AWS is our primary platform. GCP and Azure supported for clients with existing vendor relationships. Hybrid architectures available: cloud burst capacity + ZenoCloud bare metal for baseline workloads.

Pricing

Migration project pricing

Migration is scoped as a project, then converts to ongoing managed ops. Pricing depends on environment size and complexity.

Standard
one-time project

Single-environment, straightforward stack

  • Up to 10 servers or workloads
  • Discovery, dependency mapping
  • VPC and network setup
  • Data migration + cutover
  • Rollback plan and testing
  • 30-day post-migration support

Most Common
Complex
one-time project

Multi-service, database-heavy, or compliance needs

  • 11–50 servers or workloads
  • Full dependency mapping + TCO analysis
  • Multi-AZ architecture design
  • Database migration (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL)
  • Security group and IAM configuration
  • Tested rollback with parallel run
  • 60-day post-migration support

Enterprise
one-time project

Large estate, compliance-critical, or multi-cloud

  • 50+ servers or workloads
  • Multi-region or multi-cloud architecture
  • Compliance-ready setup (SOC 2, HIPAA, DPDP)
  • Application modernization as part of migration
  • Cutover window with dedicated team
  • 90-day post-migration support
  • Converts to ongoing managed ops retainer
Scope Enterprise

All migration projects include discovery, architecture design, execution, and post-migration support. Projects typically convert to an ongoing managed ops retainer. AWS credits available for qualified accounts.

Managed migration vs DIY or a one-off consultant

A consultant delivers a migration plan. DIY means your team executes under pressure during the cutover window. ZenoCloud owns the outcome — and the rollback.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What types of cloud migration do you support?
ZenoCloud handles all standard migration patterns: rehost (lift-and-shift), replatform (minor optimizations like managed RDS instead of self-hosted MySQL), refactor (containerization, microservices), and retire (decommission workloads that are not needed). We also handle cloud-to-cloud (AWS to GCP, GCP to AWS), on-prem to cloud, and cloud repatriation (back to dedicated). The approach depends on your workload, timeline, and budget.
How long does a typical migration take?
Discovery and planning: 1–2 weeks. Architecture setup and pilot: 1–2 weeks. Data migration and parallel run: 1–2 weeks. Cutover window: typically a Saturday night, under 2 hours of user-visible impact. Total: 4–8 weeks for a standard migration. Complex multi-service or compliance migrations take 8–16 weeks.
What happens during the cutover window?
We pre-position the new environment (all services running, data synced to within minutes of production). The cutover window starts with a final sync, then DNS or load balancer switch. We run health checks against the new environment. If they pass, migration is complete. If they fail, we revert DNS and rollback takes effect — typically under 15 minutes. We have practiced this rollback on the target environment before the cutover window starts.
How do you handle databases with zero-downtime requirements?
Database migrations use replication-based strategies: DMS for AWS, pg_logical for PostgreSQL, or custom replication depending on your engine. The target database stays in sync with production for days before cutover. At cutover, we stop writes to the source, drain the replication queue, verify data integrity, then switch the application connection string. Brief read-only window is typically under 5 minutes.
Do you support GCP and Azure migrations?
Yes. AWS is our primary platform and where our tooling is deepest. GCP and Azure are supported for clients with existing vendor relationships or workloads on those platforms. We are honest if a specific migration pattern is outside our comfort zone — we will scope what we can confidently deliver.
What happens after the migration is complete?
The migration project includes 30–90 days of post-migration support (depending on tier). During that period we monitor the new environment, right-size instances after a 30-day utilization baseline, purchase Reserved Instances or Savings Plans, and harden the security configuration. At the end of the post-migration period, we hand off to your team or convert to an ongoing managed ops retainer.
Can you migrate legacy applications that are not containerized?
Yes. Most of our migrations are traditional LAMP, Java, or .NET applications on bare metal or VMs — not containerized. We migrate the application as-is (lift-and-shift), then optionally containerize in a second phase once it is running stably in the cloud. We do not require containerization as a prerequisite for migration.
