What's Included
AWS migration services span six capabilities tied directly to the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) framework. AWS Migration Assessment uses Migration Hub and Application Discovery Service to inventory servers, databases, and dependencies, classifies each workload by optimal strategy (rehost, replatform, refactor), and produces the business case with TCO and timeline. AWS MAP funding access — as a holder of the AWS Migration & Modernization Competency — secures up to 25% credits on eligible migration spend, with MAP Lite supporting $100K-$500K ARR projects and standard MAP supporting $500K-$10M ARR. Server migration uses AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) for continuous block-level replication with non-disruptive test environments. Database migration handles both homogeneous (Oracle to Oracle on RDS) and heterogeneous (Oracle to Aurora PostgreSQL) via DMS with AWS SCT for schema conversion. Application modernization to ECS/EKS, Lambda, Aurora, or DynamoDB runs alongside migration where it adds value. Post-migration optimization includes Well-Architected review across all six pillars.
AWS Discovery & Assessment
Application Discovery Service and manual analysis to map your entire Indian application portfolio — dependencies, performance baselines, data volumes, and migration complexity scores for each workload.
Landing Zone Construction
Multi-account AWS landing zone built with Control Tower, including VPC design for Mumbai and Hyderabad regions, IAM policies, GuardDuty, Security Hub, and centralised logging meeting CERT-In requirements.
Server & VM Migration
AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) for continuous replication and sub-two-hour cutover of Windows and Linux servers from your Indian data centres to AWS Mumbai or Hyderabad.
Database Migration
AWS Database Migration Service for homogeneous and heterogeneous database migrations — Oracle to Aurora, SQL Server to RDS, MongoDB to DocumentDB — with zero-data-loss validation.
Application Replatforming
Selective replatforming to AWS-native services: EC2 to ECS/EKS, self-managed databases to RDS/Aurora, file servers to S3/EFS — optimising cost and operational overhead without full refactoring.
Post-Migration Optimisation
30-day post-migration stabilisation covering right-sizing, Reserved Instance recommendations, security hardening, performance tuning, and operational runbook handover for your Indian AWS environment.

End-to-End AWS Migration for India
AWS migration services exist because migrating to AWS is more than rehosting virtual machines — it demands deep understanding of AWS service mapping, networking architecture, IAM design, and the operational model required to run production workloads reliably. Indian enterprises face additional complexity: DPDPA data-residency mandates require workloads to land in Mumbai (ap-south-1) or Hyderabad (ap-south-2) regions, CERT-In compliance must be maintained during transition, and business continuity cannot be compromised during cutover windows. As an AWS MAP (Migration Acceleration Program) Partner, Opsio brings a proven migration methodology backed by AWS funding, tooling, and technical support. We use AWS Application Discovery Service, Migration Hub, CloudEndure, and Database Migration Service to execute migrations with minimal downtime — typically sub-two-hour cutover windows for even the most complex Indian enterprise environments.
Our migration services cover the full journey: discovery and portfolio assessment, migration strategy per workload (rehost, replatform, or refactor), landing zone construction, wave-based migration execution, and post-migration optimisation. Every step is planned with INR budgets, documented rollback procedures, and CERT-In-aligned security controls.
India's rapidly evolving digital economy demands cloud-first infrastructure. With MeitY's cloud-first policy, SEBI's operational resilience guidelines, and increasing DPDPA enforcement, Indian enterprises across BFSI, healthcare, e-commerce, and manufacturing are under regulatory and competitive pressure to migrate legacy workloads to compliant cloud environments. AWS's Mumbai and Hyderabad regions provide the low-latency, data-sovereign foundation these industries require.
Opsio's India delivery team operates from IST-aligned support centres, ensuring that migration waves, cutover windows, and incident response align with Indian business hours. Our engineers hold AWS Migration Specialty and Solutions Architect Professional certifications, and our project managers understand Indian procurement cycles, GST invoicing requirements, and the stakeholder structures typical of Indian enterprise IT organisations.
Post-migration, Opsio provides managed operations with continuous cost optimisation through AWS Cost Explorer and Trusted Advisor, ensuring that your Indian workloads remain right-sized, secure, and compliant. Quarterly business reviews in INR track savings against pre-migration baselines, giving Indian CIOs and CFOs the transparency needed to demonstrate ROI to boards and regulators.

Our 4-Phase Delivery Process
The AWS migration sequence follows AWS's official three-phase MAP framework with an additional optimization phase. Assess (MAP Phase 1, 2-4 weeks) discovers your environment with Migration Hub, maps dependencies, assigns migration strategy per workload, qualifies you for MAP funding, develops the business case, and produces a readiness assessment. Mobilize (MAP Phase 2, 2-4 weeks) designs the target AWS landing zone, deploys it with Terraform, plans migration waves, trains your team, secures MAP credits, and migrates a pilot workload to validate the approach end-to-end. Migrate & Modernize (MAP Phase 3, 4-12 weeks) executes server replication via MGN and database migration via DMS with zero-downtime cutover, parallel validation, and tested rollback ready — application modernization happens alongside migration where it adds value. Optimize & Operate (2-4 weeks plus optional ongoing) runs Well-Architected review, cost optimization with Compute Optimizer, security hardening, and operational handover.

AWS Migration Services in India — AWS MAP & 2-Hour Cutover — FAQ
What is the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP)?
AWS MAP provides funding, methodology, and tooling to accelerate enterprise cloud migrations. As a holder of the AWS Migration & Modernization Competency, Opsio helps Indian enterprises qualify for migration credits that offset project costs — making large-scale migrations commercially viable. Final investment depends on environment scale, SLA tier, and service scope. We provide detailed cost-benefit analyses in INR that quantify expected returns, helping Indian CIOs and CFOs justify the engagement to leadership. Quarterly business reviews track actual ROI against projections with full spend transparency. This approach has proven effective across Indian enterprises in BFSI, IT services, healthcare, manufacturing, and e-commerce.
How long does an AWS migration take in India?
Timeline depends on portfolio size and complexity. Typical Indian enterprise migrations run eight to twenty weeks. We execute in waves of 20-50 servers, with each wave's cutover window under two hours to minimise business disruption. Migration planning accounts for Indian business calendar considerations including quarter-end freezes, festival periods, and regulatory compliance deadlines. We design migration waves to minimise business disruption, with rollback procedures and validation gates at every stage to protect data integrity and application availability throughout the transition.
How much does AWS migration cost in India?
Migration pricing depends on workload count and complexity. Typical engagements range from ₹10,00,000–₹50,00,000 for SME migrations, and ₹50,00,000–₹2,00,00,000 for large enterprise data-centre exits. AWS MAP credits can offset 20-30% of these costs. Our pricing model is designed for Indian enterprise budgeting practices, with INR-denominated contracts and flexible payment terms. We offer both capex and opex structures, quarterly cost reviews, and proactive optimisation recommendations to ensure maximum value delivery. GST-compliant invoicing is standard across all engagements. Indian enterprises across multiple sectors have adopted this methodology successfully, achieving significant improvements in operational efficiency, risk reduction, and regulatory compliance posture.
Will there be downtime during migration?
We use continuous replication via AWS Application Migration Service, enabling sub-two-hour cutover windows. Most applications experience under 30 minutes of planned downtime. We schedule cutovers during low-traffic periods and maintain rollback capability throughout. We bring extensive experience migrating Indian enterprises from on-premises data centres to cloud infrastructure, addressing unique challenges like legacy application modernisation, data sovereignty compliance under DPDPA, and hybrid connectivity requirements. Our migration factory approach ensures repeatable, low-risk transitions with validated outcomes. We deliver comprehensive knowledge transfer and documentation to ensure your internal teams can maintain continuity and build on the foundation established during our engagement.
How do you ensure data stays in India during migration?
All migration replication targets AWS Mumbai or Hyderabad regions exclusively. We configure AWS Organisation policies preventing resource creation outside Indian regions, encrypt data in transit and at rest, and maintain DPDPA-compliant audit trails throughout the migration.
Can Opsio help Indian enterprises qualify for AWS MAP credits?
Yes, as a holder of the AWS Migration & Modernization Competency, Opsio guides Indian enterprises through the MAP qualification process — including workload documentation, business case preparation, and AWS engagement. MAP credits can offset 20-30% of migration costs, making large-scale data-centre exits commercially viable for Indian organisations across BFSI, healthcare, manufacturing, and e-commerce sectors.
Do you support hybrid cloud configurations during AWS migration in India?
Absolutely. Many Indian enterprises require a phased migration with hybrid connectivity between on-premises data centres and AWS Mumbai or Hyderabad. Opsio configures AWS Direct Connect, Site-to-Site VPN, and Transit Gateway to maintain secure, low-latency connectivity during the transition period, with DPDPA-compliant networking that keeps data within Indian jurisdictions.
How does Opsio handle legacy application migration for Indian enterprises?
Legacy applications — mainframe workloads, outdated middleware, custom frameworks — require specialised migration strategies. Opsio assesses each legacy application for rehost, replatform, or refactor suitability, considering Indian regulatory requirements, integration dependencies, and business criticality. We use AWS Mainframe Modernisation and Application Migration Service to handle complex transitions.
What Indian regulatory requirements does Opsio address during AWS migration?
Opsio embeds DPDPA data-residency compliance, CERT-In incident reporting procedures, RBI technology risk guidelines, SEBI operational resilience requirements, and IRDAI IT governance mandates into every migration engagement. Our compliance team maintains current regulatory matrices and provides audit-ready documentation for Indian enterprises in regulated sectors.
How do you ensure business continuity during AWS migration for Indian operations?
Opsio uses continuous replication with AWS Application Migration Service, enabling rollback capability at every stage. Cutover windows are scheduled during low-traffic IST periods, and we maintain parallel environments until post-migration validation confirms application health. Detailed rollback procedures and communication plans ensure Indian business operations are never at risk.
