Simplifying Cloud Transitions for Startups

Not all startups begin their cloud journey with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Some businesses develop a minimum viable product (MVP) on one of the platform-as-a-service (PaaS) providers that offer compelling benefits, including low friction and infrastructure simplification. Other startups may use a landscape of varied purpose-built workloads across multiple cloud providers or on-premise data centres.

If you’re exploring or planning on migrating workloads from a non-AWS Cloud environment to AWS, you’re at the right place. Bion will help you seamlessly migrate all your workloads to AWS with minimal effort required.

Started Your Startup Somewhere Else?

Startups usually choose their initial platform based on familiarity and ease. Factors like entry pricing, functional benefits, and founder preferences also influence this choice. As startups grow, their cloud landscape evolves. Occasionally, they adopt a multi-cloud approach due to leadership changes or acquisitions. Core applications are often developed on-premises for security or IP reasons.

We observe that cloud-native startups achieve the best performance, cost savings, and overall experience with a single cloud provider. While multi-cloud setups can work in theory, they often increase engineering overhead, cloud expenses, and technical debt.

Migration experience and support programs

AWS offers strategic and technical support to startups that have workloads hosted with other cloud providers or in on-premises infrastructure via programs that deliver total cost of ownership (TCO) results. This, combined with the broadest experience of Bion and its certified engineers, startups migrate to AWS and meet goals faster.

Security and compliance support

Startups also migrate to AWS to benefit from the same cloud security posture as large organisations that deliver mission-critical banking, public health, and safety services. AWS provides direct support and tools that assist in meeting requirements for 98 security standards and compliance certifications globally, including PCI DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, FedRAMP, GDPR, FIPS 140-2, and NIST 800-171.


Successful migrations don’t happen without a plan.

Incremental Workloads (IW) Funding Programme

AWS's Incremental Workloads programme is designed to help businesses gradually migrate their operations to the cloud, ensuring a seamless and low-risk transition. By adopting a phased approach, companies can incrementally move specific workloads to AWS, allowing them to test and optimise their cloud environment in manageable stages.

This programme minimises disruption to existing operations while providing immediate access to AWS's scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency. Additionally, it enables organisations to better manage their resources, predict costs, and train their teams on AWS tools and services as they progress.

Ultimately, the Incremental Workloads programme facilitates a smooth, strategic migration that aligns with business objectives and drives long-term success.
  • Assess: In this phase, the focus is on the discovery and planning stages, providing expert guidance to help businesses lay the groundwork for successful cloud migration. This stage helps in evaluating the existing infrastructure and planning the transition to AWS.
  • Migrate: This phase supports the migration of non-AWS workloads into the AWS ecosystem, providing a structured pathway to leverage AWS's advanced cloud services.
  • Build: The BUILD phase encourages the creation of new, incremental workloads by adopting specific AWS services, fostering innovation and scalability.
Through the Incremental Workloads programme, AWS provides a structured and supportive experience for businesses looking to transition to the cloud, ensuring a simple and frustration-free startup experience.

Benefits of Incremental Workloads

The Incremental Workloads (IW) program offers tailored benefits across all three stages, ensuring startups receive the right support at the right time:

Offer Type Funding
Assess Financial support Appropriate funding for eligible businesses
Migrate Financial support and/or service credits Support for eligible startups
