From On-Prem to Cloud-Native: A Step-by-Step Guide for SMBs

Cloud Native

For many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), moving from legacy on-premises infrastructure to a cloud-native environment feels like a daunting leap. But with the right approach and the right partner it can be a smooth, high-impact transformation.

At SUDO Consultants, we help businesses unlock the full potential of the cloud through structured, secure, and cost-effective migration strategies. Here's a simplified step-by-step guide to get you started:

1. Assess Your Current State

Start by understanding your existing infrastructure. What workloads are you running? Which applications are mission-critical? At this stage, we help SMBs identify quick wins and longer-term opportunities, ensuring every move aligns with business goals.

2. Define Your Cloud Strategy

A lift-and-shift might be tempting, but a thoughtful cloud-native approach brings better long-term ROI. We work with you to decide which applications to rehost, refactor, or retire — balancing performance, cost, and scalability.

3. Choose the Right AWS Services

Not all cloud services are created equal. With our deep AWS expertise, we design an architecture that fits your needs whether it's leveraging Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, or container services like ECS. The goal? High availability, low latency, and maximum efficiency.

4. Plan and Execute Migration

We build a clear roadmap, minimize disruption, and handle data transfer, application reconfiguration, and user access securely. Our team ensures continuity throughout the transition, using best practices and automation to accelerate the process.

5. Optimize, Monitor, and Scale

Post-migration is where real transformation begins. We continuously optimize costs, monitor performance, and scale as your business grows ensuring you get the most out of your AWS investment.

Why SUDO?

We don't just move workloads we help SMBs modernize, innovate, and grow. From planning to post-migration support, SUDO Consultants is your trusted guide in building a cloud-native future.
