Rehosting Process We Follow
-
Discovery & Assessment
Inventory all workloads, applications, and dependencies. Profile performance baselines, network traffic patterns, and storage I/O to define migration success criteria for each application.
-
Design & Plan
Define the target cloud architecture, select appropriate instance types, configure VPC networking and security groups, and establish tested rollback procedures for every workload in scope.
-
Migration Execution
Execute live replication or snapshot-based transfer of each workload to the target environment using automated migration tooling, maintaining service continuity throughout the process.
-
Validation & Testing
Perform end-to-end application testing, network connectivity verification, performance benchmarking, and security policy validation against pre-agreed acceptance criteria before cutover.
-
Post-Migration Tuning
Right-size instance configurations, optimise storage performance tiers, fine-tune autoscaling policies, and establish monitoring dashboards for ongoing operational visibility and cost governance.

Why Choose Last Cluster?
-
Automated migration toolchain combining AWS MGN, Azure Migrate, and VMware vMotion — the right tool selected per workload, not applied uniformly across all of them
-
Post-migration right-sizing and optimisation included in every rehosting engagement — we don't leave you with an identically expensive cloud bill and call it done
-
Parallel validation and formal sign-off before every production cutover — zero-surprise go-lives, with documented evidence your board and auditors can rely on
