Cloud Migration: Migration to AWS, Google Cloud and Azure

We plan and execute cloud migrations to AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and Alibaba Cloud with a three-phase approach: Assess, Plan, Migrate. We support lift-and-shift, hybrid, and cloud native strategies, with infrastructure managed via Terraform and full artifact ownership delivered to the client. Typical timelines: 1-3 months for lift-and-shift, up to 6-12 months for complex enterprise migrations.

Migrate to the cloud with a clear strategy and a concrete plan

What is Cloud Migration? Cloud Migration is the process of transferring applications, data, and infrastructure from on-premises or legacy cloud environments to modern cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. It is not just a technical move, but a strategic opportunity to optimize costs, improve performance, and enable innovation.

A structured three-phase approach: Assess, Plan, Migrate

Who provides Cloud Migration services in Italy? SparkFabrik is an Italian company based in Milan specialized in cloud migrations. We are a Kubernetes Certified Service Provider and CNCF members. We support migrations to AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and Alibaba Cloud with a structured three-phase approach and infrastructure managed via Terraform.

which plans and executes cloud migrations in a strategic and structured way, ensuring operational continuity and maximizing cloud computing advantages for your organization.

The experience of our Cloud Engineers in designing cloud infrastructures allows us to adopt the best market practices and design your infrastructure with a Cloud Native perspective from day one.

We will define the Cloud Migration Strategy together and execute the migration of each workload to the chosen provider, with transparency on timelines and costs.

A structured approach allows you to make the right decisions, define a concrete plan, and reduce costs and unknowns in your cloud migration.

  • Assess

    We analyze the readiness of each workload for migration, from both technical and business perspectives. The output defines priorities and the optimal path forward.

  • Plan

    We define the action plan considering business priorities, operational continuity, and the migration strategy (lift-and-shift, hybrid, or cloud native).

  • Migrate

    We execute the migration coordinating the process with your IT team. Every artifact produced (Terraform manifests, AMI Packer, etc.) remains your property.

What we can do for you

CLOUD MIGRATION WITH A METHOD PROVEN ACROSS DOZENS OF PROJECTS

Once the cloud migration is complete, we take over infrastructure management and focus on optimizing processes, applications, and costs.

A team by your side for all maintenance and update activities following best practices in management, security, and optimization, with a continuous improvement approach.

The market context confirms the strategic relevance of this investment: according to Gartner, worldwide public cloud spending is forecast to exceed $720 billion by 2025, confirming cloud migration as a strategic priority for enterprises.

Post-Migration Management

Continuous optimization after migration

After migration, we provide monitoring, patching, performance and cost optimization, and periodic architecture reviews. This can evolve into a Managed Services contract for complete cloud infrastructure management.

How we work

BY YOUR SIDE, WITH A PROVEN PROCESS TO MIGRATE TO THE CLOUD

A structured and transparent process to migrate to the cloud with confidence: from initial assessment to post-migration management.

  • Assess

    We analyze each workload from technical and business perspectives. We conduct readiness assessments, pricing calculators, and TCO comparisons to define priorities and the optimal migration strategy for each component.

  • Plan

    We define a detailed action plan, considering business priorities and operational continuity. We choose the strategy for each workload: lift-and-shift, hybrid, or full cloud native.

  • Migrate

    We execute the migration coordinating the process with your IT team. We use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and incremental migration techniques to ensure continuity and minimize risks.

A proven process to successfully migrate to the cloud

WE OFFER YOU TRANSPARENT PRICING

Combined with experienced professionals and a structured process. We believe every partnership starts with a conversation. Bring your infrastructure to the cloud.

Frequently asked questions about Cloud Migration

  • Cloud Migration is the process of transferring applications, data, and infrastructure from on-premises or legacy cloud environments to modern cloud platforms. SparkFabrik supports strategic migrations with a Cloud Native approach on major providers: AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Alibaba Cloud.

  • Our approach is structured in three main phases:

    • Assess: analysis of each workload's readiness for migration, from both technical and business perspectives

    • Plan: definition of the action plan considering business and business continuity priorities

    • Migrate: execution of the migration with process coordination and IT team support

    All artifacts produced (Terraform manifests, AMI Packer, etc.) remain your property.

  • We support major cloud providers:

    • Amazon AWS: migration to EC2, EKS, RDS, S3 and all AWS services

    • Google Cloud Platform: GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, BigQuery

    • Microsoft Azure: AKS, Azure Functions, Azure SQL

    • Alibaba Cloud: solutions for Chinese and Asian markets

    We also support multi-cloud and hybrid strategies.

  • Timelines depend on complexity and chosen strategy:

    • Simple Lift & Shift: 1-3 months

    • Migration with refactoring: 3-6 months

    • Complex enterprise migration: 6-12+ months

    We use an incremental approach that minimizes risks and ensures operational continuity.

  • The two strategies have different objectives:

    • Lift & Shift: rapid migration with minimal changes, ideal for quickly reducing infrastructure costs

    • Cloud Native: redesign to fully leverage cloud services (containers, serverless, managed services)

    We often recommend a phased approach: initial Lift & Shift followed by progressive modernization through the Cloud Native Journey.

  • We use proven best practices:

    • Incremental migration: one workload at a time

    • Blue-green deployment: switch without downtime

    • Rollback plan: ability to revert

    • Thorough testing: pre-cutover validation

    • Agreed maintenance windows: for critical transitions

  • After migration we offer:

    • Infrastructure monitoring and alerting

    • Continuous performance and cost optimization

    • Security patching and updates

    • Periodic architecture review

    • Support for evolution and scaling

    This can evolve into a Managed Services contract for complete management.

  • Our analysis includes:

    • Assessment of current workloads and consumption

    • Pricing calculator on multiple cloud vendors

    • TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) comparison

    • Identification of optimizations (reserved instances, spot, etc.)

    • Migration and training cost estimates

    We provide cost transparency to support business decisions.
