An automated AWS migration assessment system. It discovers infrastructure, models workloads and dependencies, and produces evidence-backed AWS recommendations.

What does it produce?

Evidence, inventory, dependency maps, AWS target architectures, cost estimates, migration waves, and an executable engineering backlog.

Why is Level Up different?

We automate the mechanical portions of assessment instead of billing engineers to assemble spreadsheets and slide decks by hand.

Yes. Review the example assessment on this site with no sales call required. The open-source repository is coming soon.

Can I use it without Level Up?

Yes, once the repository is published. Until then, inspect the example assessment and engage Level Up to run it on your estate. Customers may take the assessment and execute independently.

Why would I hire Level Up?

To operate and validate the assessment, solve ambiguous architectural problems, and execute the resulting migration and modernization work.

Automated AWS Migration Assessment

AWS Migration Assessment, Automated.

Discover infrastructure with Ansible. Analyze existing Terraform. Map workloads and dependencies. Generate AWS target architectures, migration recommendations, cost estimates, migration waves, and an executable backlog.

Open-source automation. Expert-reviewed migration planning.

Don't pay engineers to manually build spreadsheets about your infrastructure. Automate the assessment, then spend engineering time on the decisions and migration work that matter.

What it does

Discover. Model. Assess. Plan. Execute.

A visual pipeline from environment evidence to an actionable backlog.

01 Discover
Collect evidence about servers, operating systems, applications, databases, storage, networking, services, Terraform, and Ansible inventories.
Ansible + Terraform + infrastructure APIs + structured imports
- · Servers and operating systems
- · Applications and databases
- · Storage, networking, and services
- · Terraform state and Ansible inventories
02 Model
Turn infrastructure data into a normalized picture of what actually runs.
Deterministic normalization
- · Normalized inventory
- · Logical workloads
- · Application relationships
- · Dependency graphs and evidence
03 Assess
Evaluate readiness, disposition, target architecture, and risk from evidence.
Rules + engineer review
- · Migration readiness and disposition
- · AWS target architecture and sizing
- · Compatibility and risk
- · Modernization opportunities
04 Plan
Generate an executable backlog instead of a slide deck that expires.
Wave and task generation
- · Migration waves and prerequisites
- · Implementation tasks
- · Terraform and Ansible candidates
- · Validation requirements
05 Execute
Continue from assessment into foundation work, migration, and modernization.
Level Up engineering
- · AWS foundation, Terraform, and Ansible
- · Migration execution
- · Application remediation
- · Modernization and custom engineering

Not another migration spreadsheet

Your assessment should be executable.

Traditional migration assessments frequently end as documents describing what an engineering team should eventually do.

Level Up's assessment starts with machine-readable evidence and ends with a migration backlog. The same underlying data can produce:

Traditional

↓Consultants
↓Interviews
↓Spreadsheets
↓Analysis
↓PowerPoint
↓Migration project

Level Up

↓Environment
↓Automated discovery
↓Evidence
↓Dependency model
↓AWS recommendations
↓Migration waves
↓Executable backlog
↓Engineers review

The report isn't the system of record. The evidence is.

Evidence-backed recommendations

Know why the recommendation was made.

Each important recommendation is traceable to collected evidence. Software classifies and documents. Engineers decide. An AI model does not independently determine migration architecture.

Human + automation

Automate the mechanical work. Keep engineers on the hard problems.

Automation is used for

· Discovery
· Normalization
· Deterministic analysis
· Repetitive classification
· Documentation
· Backlog generation
· Validation generation

Experienced engineers remain responsible for

· Architecture
· Ambiguous dependencies
· Business constraints
· Risk
· Migration strategy
· Exceptions
· Approval
· Cutover decisions

We don't use AI to replace migration engineering. We use software to give migration engineers leverage.

Open source

Inspect the machinery.

The core AWS Migration Assessment automation will be published as open source. The GitHub repository is coming soon. In the meantime, examine the example assessment on this site — no sales call required.

Deliverables

What you leave with

Concrete artifacts, not a binder that ages out of date the week after the readout.

Infrastructure Inventory

Machine-readable inventory of discovered resources.

Workload Map

Applications and supporting infrastructure grouped into logical workloads.

Dependency Graph

Known and inferred dependencies with supporting evidence.

Migration Disposition

Recommended 7 Rs disposition for each workload: rehost, relocate, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retain, or retire.

AWS Target Architecture

Proposed AWS services and architecture for each workload.

Cost Analysis

Estimated AWS costs with assumptions and uncertainty identified.

Risk Register

Technical and operational migration risks.

Migration Waves

Dependency-aware migration sequencing.

Engineering Backlog

Concrete tasks required to execute the migration.

Automation Plan

Identification of work suitable for Terraform and Ansible.

From assessment to migration

The assessment is the beginning, not the deliverable.

You may take the assessment and execute independently. That is intentional. Trust in the assessment should not depend on hiring us for the next phase.

Talk to a Migration Engineer

Terraform + Ansible

Planning that connects to execution.

The assessment identifies which portions of the target environment and migration process can be implemented using Terraform and Ansible. Terraform is used where infrastructure should become declarative. Ansible is used where systems, applications, validation, or migration procedures require configuration and orchestration.

Assess → Mobilize → Migrate & Modernize

Level Up maps the automated assessment to the broader AWS migration lifecycle. We follow current AWS migration terminology so your internal program, partner conversations, and engineering backlog use the same language.

This offering is Level Up's automation and engineering practice. It is not an AWS endorsement, funding commitment, or program qualification.

Tell us enough to start a useful conversation.

You do not need an exact infrastructure count. A range, a current environment, and what you are trying to decide is enough.

We would rather spend your engineering budget migrating and modernizing your systems than documenting things software can discover for us.
