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.

1 · Assess

Audit Existing Infrastructure & Pipelines

Reviewed Azure DevOps repositories, branch structures, and environment variables to map migration dependencies.

2 · Integrate

Clone & Reconfigure Repositories

Cloned Azure DevOps repositories using Visual Studio and modified environment variables to align with the new AWS Dev account.

3 · Deploy

Migrate Lambdas & Microservices

Rebuilt, deployed, and validated 40 Lambdas and 30 microservices in the new AWS Dev environment.

4 · Optimize

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
