Overview
Not all startups begin their cloud journey with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Some
businesses develop a minimum viable product (MVP) on one of the platform-as-
a-service (PaaS) providers that offer compelling benefits, including low friction
and infrastructure simplification. Other startups may amass a landscape of varied
purpose-built workloads across multiple cloud providers.
If you're exploring or planning on migrating workloads from a non–AWS Cloud
environment to AWS, a strategic considerations framework is a helpful starting point.
This eBook is intended to provide actionable decision support to startup technical
leaders and their teams—with a specific focus on cloud-to-AWS migration use cases.
You will find a top-considerations framework, a clear explanation of what to expect
during a cloud-to-AWS migration, and a set of curated AWS resources to support
you at every step. You will also learn why a diverse set of fast-growing startups have
migrated their workloads to the AWS Cloud to reduce costs, increase security, drive
agility, and innovate rapidly.
