Migration from GCP to AWS
Why GCP Over AWS?
While both AWS and Azure are leading cloud platforms, many organizations are choosing to migrate to AWS due to its broader capabilities, greater flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Here’s how AWS stands apart:
Larger Range of Services
AWS offers the broadest set of cloud services across compute, storage, databases, machine learning, analytics, and more—giving your team more flexibility to build and scale.
Extensive Global Infrastructure
With the most regions and Availability Zones worldwide, AWS provides lower latency, improved fault tolerance, and better support for global operations.
Strong Partner Network
AWS has a mature partner network and a vast marketplace of third-party tools, software, and services to support nearly every industry and use case.
Comprehensive Migration Tools
AWS offers powerful tools like AWS Application Migration Service, AWS DataSync, and AWS Migration Hub to simplify and accelerate the move from GCP.
Flexible Pricing Options
AWS gives you more control over cloud costs with a variety of pricing models, including On-Demand, Reserved Instances, and Savings Plans, which can help reduce long-term expenses.
Proven Security and Compliance

Key Migration Considerations
Assessment &
Planning
Start by inventorying all workloads running on GCP, including compute, storage, databases, and networking components. Identify the equivalent AWS services—such as EC2 for GCE, S3 for GCS, and Redshift for BigQuery—to ensure compatibility. During this phase, it’s crucial to assess software licensing, existing system dependencies, and any regulatory or compliance requirements that may impact the migration.
Architecture
Design
Decide whether each workload should be re-architected for AWS or simply lifted and shifted. For critical or long-term applications, redesigning may offer better optimization. Use the AWS Well-Architected Framework to ensure your new infrastructure meets best practices in security, performance efficiency, reliability, operational excellence, and cost optimization.
Migration
Execution
Begin with less critical systems to test and refine the migration process. Use tools like AWS Migration Hub to monitor progress and AWS DataSync for secure, efficient data transfer. Automating your infrastructure with AWS CloudFormation or Terraform helps maintain consistency and reduce human error during the move.
Testing &
Optimization
After migrating each workload, perform thorough testing to validate application performance and functionality. Implement AWS CloudWatch for real-time monitoring and AWS CloudTrail for auditing and logging. Reassess your setup post-migration to fine-tune storage, compute, and network configurations for cost and performance efficiency.
Cutover and Decommissioning
Complete the migration by updating DNS configurations, adjusting user access, and performing final data backups. Then, gradually decommission the remaining GCP resources to eliminate unnecessary costs and ensure a clean transition to AWS.
