Responsibilities

• You will map existing Azure footprints, apply The 7 R's of Cloud Migration (Rehost, Relocate, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, and Retain), evaluate TCO, and build out the comprehensive migration business case.
• Lead discovery across the client’s Azure environments in Canada and Australia, mapping compute, networking, storage, databases, identity, and CI/CD pipelines to AWS equivalents.
• Apply the 7 R's Strategy: Evaluate all workloads against Rehost, Relocate, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, and Retain to formulate optimal target-state architectures.
• Produce both a like-for-like cost comparison (current Azure vs. equivalent AWS) and an optimized, right-sized AWS target-state model.
• Identify replatforming opportunities leveraging native AWS services and assess the client's existing Azure Databricks environment for migration implications.
• Document migration blockers, addressing strict data residency requirements (Canada/Australia), licensing models, and iGaming/betting compliance constraints.
