Can’t we just do the same and move our entire storage to AWS?” Understand your applications “So, I’m thinking about moving Project X to AWS. It should be super simple!! It’s just a couple of APIs!” Make your team know & understand that most migrations are an architectural challenge “Can it be done by next sprint?”
