In this article, explore our commitment to innovation, customized approaches, and proven expertise across all five crucial phases of the cloud journey.

Join us on a journey where the cloud isn’t just a destination but the foundation for endless possibilities.

A Holistic Approach to Cloud Journey

Embarking on the cloud journey is a multi-faceted process, and PREDICTif stands as a guiding force through all five pivotal phases:

Phase 1: Seeding Cloud Potential

In the initial phase, companies sow the seeds of their cloud potential by deploying net-new workloads. PREDICTif helps them harness the full spectrum of cloud benefits, from heightened agility to unprecedented scalability.

This net-new workload exemplifies a typical container-based operation on an ECS cluster, adaptable to run on either EC2 instances or the serverless Fargate. It seamlessly integrates with a managed database through Aurora.

Phase 2: Navigating Migration Waters

As cloud comfort blossoms, migration efforts set sail, guided by the proven 7-Rs of cloud migration. PREDICTif orchestrates these initial migrations through a rehosting migration strategy, seamlessly transitioning companies with a pragmatic lift-and-shift approach.

Once a secure and scalable cloud foundation is established through Control Tower, the migration of on-premises workloads to AWS is facilitated using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN), as depicted in the architectural diagram for phase 2.

Phase 3: Optimizing for Excellence

With workloads comfortably settled in the cloud, optimization becomes paramount. PREDICTif spearheads optimization activities, meticulously right-sizing existing workloads based on robust performance metrics.

Phase 4: Database Evolution

Beyond optimization, companies undergo a database evolution. PREDICTif facilitates the migration from virtual machines (EC2 instances) to managed services like Amazon RDS, orchestrating a seamless transition from Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to Platform as a Service (PaaS).

Phase 4: Migration from self-managed to AWS-managed services e.g., Amazon RDS (picture by author)
