Documented cutover and rollback
Every wave ships with a tested runbook: cutover steps, rollback triggers, validation checks, and a dependency map you can hand to auditors.
Our cloud migration clients cut over without the 2am rollback metrics
Two recent cloud migration engagements. Full workload and cost figures under MNDA; wave plan walkthrough on the scoping call.
Cloud and Data engagement,
Cloud migration program lead
Dcrayon mapped every workload to a rehost or replatform decision before we opened Azure Migrate. Cutover ran off a tested rollback plan, and finance got a per-workload cost line they could sign off.
MNDA
Per-workload run cost before and after, shared on scoping call
90 days
Cutover downtime window per wave
Cloud Migration engagement: dependency mapping, wave planning through AWS Application Migration Service, and a rehearsed cutover with rollback checkpoints. Either side can pause at any wave boundary.
Read Cloud and Data engagement's Case Study
Mid-market cloud and data brand,
Cloud migration and landing zone program
Our migration had stalled on a tangle of undocumented dependencies. Dcrayon ran a discovery pass, grouped workloads into waves, and moved the first low-risk wave with no unplanned downtime.
MNDA
Workloads migrated and legacy hosts decommissioned, shared on scoping call
90 days
Rollback checkpoints tested per wave
Cloud Migration engagement paired with landing zone setup and database moves through managed replication. A discovery audit in the opening phase set the workload inventory and baseline.

How Dcrayon sequences a cloud migration, wave by wave
A short walkthrough of a Dcrayon cloud migration engagement, from the week-one discovery readout to a hardened, right-sized landing zone in the final cycle.
Technical migration controls we build into every move
What we wire into every Dcrayon cloud migration by default
Each control below maps to a checkpoint in your migration plan, verified by the cloud architect who owns your account.
Automated discovery and right-sizing
Dcrayon AI runs agentless discovery, dependency mapping, and cost modeling before a single workload moves, then watches for drift after you land.
Right-sizing and reserved capacity
Post-move right-sizing, reserved instances, and savings plans cut the bill lift and shift usually inflates.
We report cost per workload, not just total spend.
Landing zone guardrails
Each workload lands in a governed landing zone with least-privilege IAM, encryption at rest and in transit, network segmentation, and logging ready for SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
Three Dcrayon methods we run on every cloud migration
Score, Sequence, and Repair. The readiness diagnostic, the wave-by-wave playbook, and the toolkit that keeps run-costs honest after cutover.
Dcrayon Score (cloud migration axis)
A 150-point migration readiness review across five areas: workload and database dependency mapping, right-sizing and TCO, landing zone and network design, IAM and encryption posture, and cutover runbooks. Free on every proposal call.
Dcrayon Growth Formula (cloud migration sequencing)
The playbook that orders waves from low-risk workloads to your hardest database moves, run through AWS DMS or Azure Database Migration Service, each tied to a metric you pick.
Dcrayon AI (cloud migration toolkit)
Internal toolkit that runs discovery, maps dependencies, and builds a prioritized 6 Rs disposition plan your CFO can budget against.
How a Dcrayon cloud migration runs
Three repeatable plays that move workloads with less risk and a lower run-rate each cycle.
Step 1: Score
A free Dcrayon Score readout on your estate in one business day. We run assessments with tools like Azure Migrate, map dependencies, and sort each app into rehost, replatform, or refactor. You get one 0 to 100 number and the gap list, no commitment.
Step 2: Plan
A written 90-day cloud migration plan tied to one number you pick, like monthly cloud spend or cutover downtime. A senior architect designs the landing zone and wave sequence, including any database migration path. Either side can stop, and there is no annual lock-in.
Step 3: Harden
A weekly working session with your architect and a monthly cost-and-progress report your finance team can follow. Migration runs in waves: the pilot workload proves the pattern, then each later wave reuses the same landing zone and pipelines.

Why choose Dcrayon for Cloud Migration
A cloud architect who has done the cutover
No trainees rehearsing on your production estate. The architect who maps your dependencies also runs the cutover.
A readiness Score before you commit
A written diagnostic and fixed estimate up front, so you approve a scope with the disposition of every workload already mapped.
Automated discovery, not spreadsheets
Agentless tools inventory servers, map traffic between them, and model run costs, so wave planning rests on data, not guesswork.
A monthly bill you can defend
A monthly readout in cost per workload and reserved-capacity coverage, plain enough for finance to sign off without a translator.
Since 2016, Dcrayon has delivered 200+ solutions engagements and runs 60+ active retainers, working from our Delhi headquarters and Sheridan, Wyoming office. Our architects hold AWS, Azure, and GCP certifications, backed by CEH, OSCP, and CISSP holders on staff. AI-first since the 2024 pivot.

The migration readiness Score is free. The wave plan is yours to keep.
Across our 60+ active solutions retainers, teams running without a planned cloud migration tend to see Rs 6L to Rs 90L in twelve-month waste, from idle capacity and stalled workloads. Book the scoping call to size yours.

Cloud Migration FAQs
It begins with discovery: an agentless inventory, dependency mapping, and a 6 Rs disposition per workload. That readout becomes the wave plan you approve before any cutover.
Both. Some clients hand us the whole cloud and data team; others use us as senior architect plus escalation for their own engineers. We scope per account.
Most cloud migration engagements start at Rs 4 to 8 lakhs per month in India, or USD 6 to 15 thousand per month globally. Audit and discovery-only work starts lower.
