Why Migrate to AWS?
Legacy infrastructure holds enterprises back. AWS gives you the platform to modernize enterprise applications at scale with the performance, security, and economics your business demands.
Reduction in infrastructure costs
Lower license requirements
Faster time to market for new features
Fewer security-related incidents
Common Challenges Enterprises Face with Legacy Systems
Before choosing an AWS migration consulting company, enterprises need a partner who truly understands their daily operational challenges. These are the real-world problems that organizations face:
Monolithic applications that block development velocity
When every release requires weeks of regression testing and coordination, your engineering teams can’t innovate. Modernizing legacy applications breaks the monolith into independently deployable services.
Unsustainable infrastructure and licensing costs
Aging on-premises infrastructure and expensive software licenses create OPEX pressure that never eases. Enterprise AWS migration services eliminate hardware refresh cycles and dramatically reduce licensing spending.
Outages and performance bottlenecks at scale
Legacy platforms were not designed for today’s traffic or data volumes. AWS cloud migration moves your workloads to infrastructure that scales automatically before incidents happen.
Security vulnerabilities in outdated platforms
End-of-life operating systems and unpatched databases are the most common entry points for breaches. Secure cloud migration onto AWS brings modern security controls, encryption, and compliance tooling from day one.
Inability to launch new digital products quickly
When core infrastructure can’t support new services, business innovation stalls. Migrating enterprise applications to AWS gives product teams the building blocks to ship faster.
Fragmented data across disconnected legacy systems
Disconnected databases and siloed applications make analytics and AI initiatives nearly impossible. Cloud-native modernization on AWS unifies data across your estate.
AWS Migrations and Modernization Workloads We Support
From Windows and VMware to SQL Server and end-of-life data centers, our AWS modernization consulting services cover the full spectrum of enterprise migration patterns.
Windows/.NET to .NET Core on Linux
Migrate Windows and .NET workloads to AWS and modernize by replatforming to .NET Core on Linux. This reduces Microsoft licensing dependency while enabling containerization and open-source compatibility a common first step in enterprise application modernization.
VMware to EC2
Rehost or replatform VMware workloads directly to Amazon EC2 with minimal operational disruption. Once on AWS, workloads can be progressively modernized using automation, managed services, and cost optimization tooling.
SQL Server to Aurora/PostgreSQL
Escape high SQL Server licensing costs by migrating to Amazon Aurora or PostgreSQL. Our team handles schema conversion, performance tuning, and cloud-native architecture design ready for high availability and enterprise scale.
Data Center Exit / End-of-Life Infrastructure
Rehost and replatform critical workloads from aging on-premises infrastructure to AWS. We then modernize gradually using containers, serverless, or managed cloud offerings eliminating hardware refresh cycles for good.
Workload Optimization on AWS
Whether you are right-sizing during migration or optimizing existing cloud workloads, we help you get the most from EC2, S3, RDS, and other AWS services. Continuous FinOps and performance tuning are built into every engagement.

Modern Cloud Architectures Built for Scalability and Resilience
Our AWS modernization consulting services go beyond lift-and-shift. We architect cloud environments that are built to perform at enterprise scale secure by design, cost-efficient by default, and ready for AI-first workloads.
Microservices & Container Architecture
We re-architect applications for AWS using ECS, EKS, and Fargate enabling independent deployments, horizontal scaling, and clear service boundaries.
Serverless & Event-Driven Design
AWS Lambda, Step Functions, and EventBridge reduce operational overhead and infrastructure costs while improving response times for event-heavy workloads.
Cloud-Native Database Modernization
From Aurora to DynamoDB, we modernize databases for performance, availability, and cost. Schema migration, performance tuning, and High Availability configuration are all included.
DevSecOps & CI/CD Pipeline Engineering
Every modern cloud architecture includes automated testing, security scanning, and deployment pipelines so releases are fast, safe, and auditable.
FinOps & Cost Architecture
We architect for cost from the start. Right-sizing, Reserved Instance planning, Savings Plans, and Spot usage are embedded into the migration design not added as an afterthought.

Frequently Asked Questions
AWS Migration and Modernization is the process of moving enterprise applications and infrastructure from on-premises or legacy environments to AWS, and then progressively transforming those applications to use cloud-native architectures such as containers, microservices, and serverless. Migration moves the workload. Modernization redesigns it for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency on AWS.
AWS migration refers to moving workloads to the AWS cloud rehosting, replatforming, or relocating existing systems. AWS modernization refers to redesigning applications once they are on AWS to use cloud-native capabilities. The two often happen in parallel: migrate first to reduce risk, modernize progressively to unlock full cloud value.
We use phased migration waves, parallel-run testing, and blue-green deployment patterns so that production systems remain live throughout the migration. Every phase includes a documented rollback plan and automated testing gates before cutover. Our approach is specifically designed to migrate enterprise applications to AWS with zero service disruption.
AWS MAP is a structured program that provides enterprise organizations with a proven methodology, tools, and AWS funding support for cloud migrations. Cygnet.One is aligned with AWS MAP, which means our clients can access AWS-backed support, assessment tooling, and in some cases migration funding that is not available through non-aligned partners.
A typical enterprise AWS cloud migration takes between 3 and 18 months depending on the number and complexity of workloads, the degree of modernization required, and the organization’s change readiness. We provide a detailed timeline as part of the initial AWS migration strategy for enterprises, based on a thorough workload assessment.
Our legacy application modernization services include application re-architecture to microservices, containerization using ECS and EKS, database modernization from SQL Server to Aurora or PostgreSQL, serverless adoption using Lambda and Step Functions, and DevSecOps pipeline implementation. All services are delivered as part of a structured AWS modernization consulting engagement.
We deliver AWS migration and modernization services across Banking and Financial Services, Insurance, Healthcare, Retail, Manufacturing, Logistics, Technology/SaaS, and Media and Entertainment. We have industry-specific accelerators and pre-validated blueprints for each vertical.
Three things: our proprietary ORBIT framework (not generic AWS guidance), our alignment with AWS MAP and Modernization Pathways programs, and our model where enterprise cloud migration consultants own outcomes end-to-end not just the initial migration phase. Combined with CMMI Level 5 process maturity, this gives enterprises a lower-risk, more accountable migration experience.
