If your organization is looking to migrate its network infrastructure to the cloud, you probably know that it can be time-consuming and tedious.
And because your organization most likely has other priorities and business initiatives, migrating your infrastructure to the cloud manually may not get the attention it needs.
Additionally, manually migrating your network infrastructure and data can result in human error which can lead to lost data. To avoid these consequences, your organization may benefit from automating cloud migration using AWS.
Coeo understands how important reliable network infrastructure is and has helped thousands of organizations migrate their infrastructure and data to the cloud by delivering network services and solutions.
By the end of this article, you will understand what AWS is, how it helps automate cloud migration, and whether it is the right solution for your organization.
What is AWS?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a widely used, comprehensive cloud computing platform provided by Amazon. The AWS platform offers a wide range of on-demand network services such as cloud storage, databases, and analytics.
AWS is designed to help businesses scale and innovate efficiently without the need for physical infrastructure.
AWS also offers the AWS Marketplace which is a digital marketplace that enables customers to search, buy, and manage third-party software and data services and solutions to improve their business operations.
AWS Marketplace offers thousands of listings from various providers including network security business applications, and data products. Coeo is listed on the AWS Marketplace to reach more organizations and help them with their connectivity.

How AWS helps automate cloud migration
Manually migrating network infrastructure and data to the cloud can be daunting, time-consuming, and result in human error.
This can be difficult for some organizations to manually complete if they do not have an internal IT team or their IT team is focused on other business initiatives. Additionally, manually migrating to the cloud can result in human error that can lead to lost or stolen data.
To avoid these issues, AWS can be used to automate cloud migration. Some of the ways that AWS does this include:
Comprehensive Cloud Migration Framework
AWS provides comprehensive cloud migration frameworks, including best practices and resources that guide your organization through the cloud migration process. Using this framework helps automate several stages of the cloud migration process.
Automated network assessment
AWS helps automatically assess your network environment and formulates a plan to migrate to the cloud based on your network infrastructure and application. AWS does this in a couple of different ways:
AWS Application Discovery
The AWS Application Discovery service collects data on your network server configurations, performance, and dependencies providing insights into the behavior of your network.
This will help determine how best to go about migrating the network to the cloud.
AWS migration evaluator
The migration evaluator service helps create a business case for your organization to move data and infrastructure to the AWS cloud.
In addition, this also helps eliminate time and costs since the infrastructure is being mapped out automatically as opposed to your internal IT team taking time away from other business initiatives.
Using both automated network assessment tools helps reduce the manual effort it takes to migrate network infrastructure and data to the cloud while eliminating the possibility of human error resulting in accurate collection and transfer.
Automated cloud migration tools
AWS provides automated cloud migration tools that help migrate data and infrastructure to the cloud. These migration tools include:
AWS migration hub
The migration hub acts as a centralized dashboard for the tracking and managing of migration tasks. This enables organizations to track the process of migration across multiple servers.
AWS server migration services
This tool simply automates the migration of on-premise servers to the AWS cloud infrastructure. This helps the migration process and eases the “lift-and-shift” process so that organizations do not have to move their physical infrastructure.
AWS database migration services
The AWS database migration services automate the migration of databases. This ensures minimal downtime enabling your organization’s network to stay up as much as possible.
AWS CloudEndure automation
The CloudEndure automates and saves the steps taken to migrate to the cloud. This helps simplify large-scale application migrations by automating the replication process and copying them over to the additional servers, applications, and databases.
Is using AWS for cloud migration the right solution for your organization?
Now you understand what AWS is and how it helps automate cloud migration. However, it is also important to understand whether it is the right solution for your organization.
If your organization is looking to migrate to the cloud but does not have an IT team or your IT team is focused on other business initiatives, it may be beneficial for your organization to use AWS for automated cloud migration.
In addition, if your organization is looking to automate monitoring and operational efficiency technology, automating AWS cloud migration may be the right solution for your organization.
Using AWS to automate cloud migration may be a good choice if you are looking to improve network scalability and reliability.
Determining whether AWS can help your organization automate cloud migration
Now you understand what AWS is, how it can help automate cloud migration, and whether it is a good choice for your organization. This will help determine whether your organization should invest in AWS to automate cloud migration.
Network reliability and performance are important for all organizations that rely on connectivity to perform daily work tasks. If your organization is looking to move your network to the cloud, AWS can help automate cloud migration.
Cloud migration can be tedious and time-consuming, taking time away from your IT team that may be focused on other company initiatives.
Performing a cloud migration manually can also lead to human error resulting in network performance and security issues. Using AWS for cloud migration can eliminate these issues resulting in a smooth transition to the cloud.
Coeo understands how important reliable network performance is and has delivered thousands of network solutions to organizations to improve network performance and security.
