Cloud Upgrade Services from Aelius Venture
Every business grows uniquely and no infrastructure is the same. However, the growing pains are quite similar for every business, the same as the solutions for them. There are several points in the startup lifecycle when a cloud upgrade would be very beneficial:
– the beginning of the software development, to have a cloud-native product from the get-go
– the MVP release, to use the cloud scalability features like CloudFront CDN
– splitting the monolith product to microservices to ease integration with third-party tools through RESTful APIs
– moving the data and applications from legacy infrastructure to the cloud platform to reduce OPEX and remove CAPEX
– optimizing your existing cloud infrastructure to remove performance bottlenecks and speed up the time-to-market for new product features
– post-release long-term support and monitoring
Thus said, a cloud upgrade can be beneficial in literally every stage of software development and infrastructure management. The only real issue with it lies in finding a trustworthy IT outsourcing company, ready and able to deliver the results you need.
There are three main approaches to performing a cloud upgrade:
– Hiring the required expertise in-house. While seemingly a sound business decision, in real life it boils down to a long and costly recruitment process, as skilled DevOps engineers are not easy to find. When you find one, it might turn out his skills are not high enough for your project, or they might leave mid-project and put it at risk.
– Hiring support engineers from the cloud platform. This is a popular approach, as the business gets access to industry-leading technical expertise. The downside is that these specialists will use platform-specific tools, which can result in vendor lock-in, so you will need to rebuild the infrastructure from scratch if you ever need to migrate to another cloud platform.
– Hiring the IT outsourcing company. A Managed Services Provider like Aelius Venture fields teams of experienced specialists, who can help with upgrading your cloud application and database environments to the latest version and making sure it is running cost-efficiently. We use open-source free-to-use tools to ensure your structure is modular, resilient, performs well, and can run on any cloud platform.

AWS & GCP Cloud Platform Upgrades
Many customers approach us when they have already built their cloud infrastructure with AWS or GCP, but understand their systems don’t run quite well and have to be optimized. Many more simply want to move to Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform from a legacy infrastructure or some other cloud provider. We help audit the existing infrastructure and workflows, define the weak spots and devise the solutions for them, and perform the migration to the cloud without any bottlenecks.
Aelius Venture DevOps team has more than 7 years of experience since 2014 with cloud migrations and infrastructure optimization services and provided cloud upgrade services to more than 500 businesses of varying scopes.
Post-Upgrade Support & Maintenance for Cloud Applications
