Why don't you publish fixed prices?

AWS migration cost depends heavily on workload count, data volume, downtime tolerance, security requirements and target architecture. Fixed prices without scope usually mean either overpaying or under-delivering.

Can you help estimate AWS running costs?

Yes. Cost modelling should happen before migration, not after. We review sizing, architecture choices, data transfer, storage, licensing and resilience requirements as part of planning.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No. We offer flexible engagements — assessment, planning sprint or delivery support — without forcing a long managed services contract.

Pricing

Clear AWS migration pricing starts with clear scope.

Migration cost depends on workload complexity, data volume, risk, migration strategy, timeline and the level of engineering support required. We help you define scope before committing to a larger project.

What affects AWS migration cost?

Number of workloads

More applications, servers and databases usually means more discovery, testing and migration effort.

Migration strategy

Rehosting is usually simpler than refactoring, but may deliver less long-term improvement.

Data size & movement

Large databases, file stores and high-change datasets need careful planning.

Downtime tolerance

Low-downtime or zero-downtime goals require more testing, replication and cutover planning.

Security & compliance

Regulated or sensitive workloads need stronger governance, logging, encryption and access design.

AWS foundation readiness

If the landing zone is not ready, extra work may be needed before production migration.

Cost control during migration

Migration cost should be managed before workloads go live. Poorly sized infrastructure, unmanaged storage, unnecessary resilience patterns, overbuilt test environments and unclear ownership can all increase AWS spend.

Planning an AWS migration?

Start with a practical assessment before committing to a full migration project. IG CloudOps will help you understand what should move, what should change, what could go wrong, and what the next step should be.
