Overview
"Moving a live production workload off Azure in a month sounded risky, but Pump mapped every dependency up front and kept downtime to a minimum. We're now on a single cloud with a clear path to keep cutting cost."

GeoServes runs a production workload that had been operating on Microsoft Azure at roughly $13,000 per month. As the business scaled, leadership wanted its infrastructure standardized on a single cloud platform that could support its reliability needs and grow with the company.

Use Case 1
Mapping Every Azure Resource Before Touching Anything
Pump ran an end-to-end migration of the GeoServes workload into the customer's own AWS account, starting with a full discovery and assessment phase. Every Azure resource and dependency was inventoried and mapped to its AWS equivalent before any migration work began, which set accurate expectations and de-risked the rest of the project.
Use Case 2
Rebuilding the Stack on AWS, Then Cutting Over
With the mapping in hand, Pump built out the target architecture in parallel with the running Azure environment. Containerized applications were re-platformed onto Amazon ECS and EKS, databases were migrated to managed Amazon Aurora and RDS, and object storage moved from Azure Blob Storage to Amazon S3. Identity and access was rebuilt with AWS IAM, networking was reconstructed on Amazon VPC with appropriate subnets and security groups, and security monitoring was replicated using Amazon GuardDuty and AWS Security Hub.
Data and databases were migrated with validation at each step to guarantee integrity. The database migration was the highest-risk element of the move, and Pump's solutions architects worked through the common pitfalls to keep downtime low and availability high. Once everything was validated, Pump executed a controlled cutover and decommissioned the Azure resources. Throughout, the team coordinated with GeoServes through weekly checkpoints and a dedicated 24/7 Slack channel.
Pump’s impact
GeoServes completed its move off Azure and onto AWS in roughly one month, on an accelerated timeline and with minimal disruption to a live production workload. With the Azure footprint fully decommissioned, the company now runs on a single, more resilient cloud, with billing, governance, monitoring, and support all unified under AWS.
Just as importantly, the migration set GeoServes up for the future. Pump modeled an optimization roadmap projecting roughly 30 percent in savings from Savings Plans and Reserved Instances once the workload stabilizes, with an additional 10 percent or so achievable through further right-sizing. AWS Migration Acceleration Program credits offset a meaningful portion of the migration cost, and the new single-cloud foundation gives the team a clear, well-instrumented base from which to keep optimizing spend over time.
