Adhering to the AWS Well Architected Framework and Application Migration Strategies D|OPS Digital have developed an OS and Application Modernisation Workflow to upgrade legacy Windows Servers and their associated applications migrating them from physical, virtual, and other Cloud platforms to AWS.

Windows upgrade: OS and APP Modernisation workflow

As applications move through the workflow, both the migration and test plans are added to a pattern library accelerating the process as similar applications are moved into the queue.

Working alongside your team, our experienced engineers utilise CI/CD and IaC tools to automate the workflow and enable you to sustain the process over time as Windows servers reach their end-of-life and end-of-support dates
