How VAZUdev transformed cloud migration assessment with AWS and Generative AI

The journey of VAZUdev began with a critical observation made by its founders: the cloud migration assessment process was exceedingly labor-intensive and prone to subjective biases. AWS partners often found themselves bogged down by lengthy evaluations, where the time taken for assessments could stretch from months to days, causing delays in migration projects and leading to potential misallocations of resources. 

Customer overview

VAZUdev is an AI-driven cloud management platform specifically designed for AWS partners to simplify and streamline the cloud migration assessment process. Originally built to assist with resource management and migration assessments, the platform faced challenges with performance and scalability in its initial version. To address these issues, VAZUdev underwent a complete refactoring and transformation, integrating Generative AI and machine learning to enhance its capabilities.

From proof of concept to AI-driven platform

While the core platform had already been built, it struggled with poor performance, inefficient resource management, and a lack of intelligent automation. The original architecture, which was not optimized for scalability or cloud-native operations, resulted in slow assessments and manual, time-consuming processes for AWS partners.

VAZUdev’s founders collaborated with our team to start with a small-scale Proof of Concept (PoC) focused on transforming VAZUdev into an AI-driven platform. This PoC laid the groundwork for incorporating Generative AI and machine learning technologies that could automate resource scaling, provide real-time insights, and enhance predictive analytics.

With our expertise in strategy, product design & development, and extensive refactoring, the platform underwent a complete overhaul. This involved redesigning the system architecture, optimizing for performance, and integrating Generative AI to automate time-consuming tasks like cloud migration assessments.

Customer challenges

As AWS partners transitioned more workloads to the cloud, they encountered challenges that were primarily rooted in traditional manual processes, which were time-consuming, error-prone, and often resulted in increased costs.

1. Manual migration assessments: Evaluating cloud readiness, estimating timelines, and forecasting resource needs were labor-intensive processes that required detailed analyses of workloads, infrastructure, and resource utilization. These assessments often took weeks or even months to complete.

2. Subjective decision-making: Traditional migration assessments were often opinion-biased, relying heavily on the experience and judgment of Solution Architects and the other concerned team members. This lack of objectivity created inconsistencies in evaluating the appropriate AWS architecture needed for migration.

3. Inefficient resource scaling: Partners struggled with optimizing resource scaling during migrations. Without the ability to accurately predict future workload demands, AWS partners frequently over-provisioned or under-provisioned resources, resulting in cost inefficiencies.

4. Lack of predictive analytics: Without the ability to anticipate potential issues, partners struggled to estimate migration timelines accurately and lacked the tools needed for real-time optimization of their workflows. This gap in capabilities resulted in inefficient operations and heightened operational risks.

Strategic partnership and development

Transformed from an initial concept into an AI-driven platform that offers predictive analytics, real-time insights, and automated resource scaling, this partnership positioned VAZUdev as a vital tool for AWS partners seeking to streamline their migration processes and improve operational efficiency.

  • SaaS model development: Designed VAZUdev’s architecture as a scalable, multi-tenant SaaS solution that allows AWS partners to manage cloud resources with ease.
  • Predictive analytics and insights: Integrated advanced machine learning algorithms and predictive analytics to automate cloud migration assessments, allowing AWS partners to anticipate challenges and optimize resource allocation in real time. 
  • Analytics and reporting: Developed features that delivered real-time performance metrics and resource usage reports. This visibility enabled AWS partners to monitor their migration processes continuously and adjust strategies based on dynamic data.

AWS provided the cloud backbone that powered VAZUdev’s operations

The scalability, security, and reliability of AWS allowed VAZUdev to deliver its features efficiently, even at scale.

  • Amazon SageMaker: Used to develop, train, and deploy VAZUdev’s AI and machine learning models, including the Generative AI models that deliver predictive migration assessments and productivity evaluations.
  • AWS Lambda: Provided serverless computing for dynamic scaling of cloud resources during migration, ensuring the platform could handle fluctuations in demand without over-provisioning.
  • Amazon Aurora & DynamoDB: Managed VAZUdev’s structured and unstructured data storage needs, allowing the platform to store and process large volumes of cloud migration data in real-time.
  • AWS Well-Architected Framework: Ensured that VAZUdev adhered to best practices for security, reliability, and operational excellence, offering built-in compliance and governance.

Success metrics

The following success metrics highlight the impact of VAZUdev’s Generative AI-driven automation and AWS-powered infrastructure.

  • 60% Reduction in time spent: Automation of key processes, including migration assessments and resource scaling, drastically reduced the time required to complete these tasks, freeing up teams to focus on higher-value activities.
  • 70% Decrease in human costs: By minimizing the need for manual intervention, the platform cut down on resource allocation and migration labor costs, enhancing operational efficiency and lowering overall costs.
  • 55% Increase in accuracy for migration recommendations: With AI-driven insights and predictive analytics, the platform improved the accuracy of migration suggestions for selecting the right AWS infrastructure, increasing precision from 15% to 70%.

Making the life of AWS partners easier

With the integration of Generative AI, VAZUdev continues to innovate, offering real-time insights, cost-saving solutions, and enhanced productivity tools. The platform's ability to streamline complex cloud migrations while reducing costs and increasing operational efficiency has made it an indispensable asset for AWS partners worldwide.
