CloudArray Consulting
Programming consulting for cloud application migration — from inventory and cutover planning to scoped implementation work agreed after inquiry.
How we sequence a migration engagement
Most cloud moves stall when teams treat migration as a single “lift and shift” event. We work in deliberate phases: understand the application estate, decide what moves as-is versus what gets refactored, then execute with rollback paths that match your operational reality.
- Application and dependency inventory (runtime, data stores, integrations, batch jobs)
- Target architecture options with risk notes for each workload
- Cutover rehearsal, validation checks, and handover documentation
We review repositories, deployment pipelines, and environment parity gaps that usually surface only during the first production cutover. Findings are written so your internal developers can act on them, whether or not you continue with a scoped implementation engagement.
Advisory sessions cover licensing impacts, identity integration, and data residency questions common to South African operators moving from on-prem VMware or managed hosting to hyperscaler regions.
Whiteboard-level architecture decisions
Before containers or managed services are selected, we map traffic flows, secret handling, and observability hooks. That keeps migration work tied to measurable outcomes — fewer mystery outages after DNS flips.
When implementation is in scope, we pair with your team on infrastructure-as-code modules and runbooks rather than delivering a black-box handoff.
