Possible assessment outputs, selected and confirmed during scoping.

  • Workload and environment assessment
  • Prioritised architecture, cost and access recommendations
  • Migration or improvement sequencing and operational ownership
Your requirement

Plan for the operating requirements of your AWS environment

A migration plan should cover ownership, access, resilience and ongoing cost as well as workload movement. Assess these together and agree how each migration wave will be accepted and supported.

Approach

How the work runs.

  1. 01 Design the operating model first

    Who provisions, who approves, who owns, who pays.

  2. 02 Build guardrails before scale

    Policy-as-code, account structure and tagging enforced from the start.

  3. 03 Migrate in waves with real retirement

    Each wave ends with the source decommissioned.

  4. 04 Route cost to its owner

    Spend visible to the team that causes it, at a cadence where they can act.

Questions

What buyers ask

Are you an AWS partner?

MENTARA does not currently hold an AWS partner tier and receives no commission or referral fee on AWS consumption.

Can you help investigate rising cloud costs?

We can assess spend, utilisation, resource ownership and architecture, then prioritise optimisation options. Any savings estimate needs a baseline, implementation assumptions and a review of performance trade-offs.

Do we need a multi-cloud strategy?

Evaluate specific requirements such as existing platforms, data handling, resilience and team capability. The additional complexity should have a defined business purpose.

07

Where MENTARA fits best.

Scope

MENTARA supports AWS assessments, landing zones, migration planning, platform engineering and operational improvement.

Large deadline-driven migrations need a capacity assessment and may require a larger migration provider. Coverage and recovery commitments are agreed per engagement.
