What it covers
Assessed on method, not just outcome.
AWS reviews how a partner plans, rehearses, and reverses a migration — not only whether the workloads eventually landed. These are the four areas examined.
Portfolio assessment
Workload inventory, dependency mapping, and a 6R pattern chosen per application.
Wave planning
Sequencing by risk and dependency, each wave with measurable go/no-go criteria.
Cutover execution
Traffic shadowing, dual writes, and progressive read shifting before any switch.
Rollback discipline
Reverse paths rehearsed at production data volume and left armed after cutover.
Validation criteria
What AWS assessed.
The criteria AWS assesses for this competency, and our current status against each. Status is maintained in the CMS from AWS Partner Central.

Moving an estate without a window?
Discovery comes first — a short, bounded review that ends in an architecture, a scope, and a price. You keep the output either way.
