Fit constraints

AWS-centric — not the fit for Azure- or GCP-first estates. IQ4hire view
Hyperscaler migration is a 6–24 month program, not an emergency exit for a near-term renewal. IQ4hire view

Best for

AWS-first organizations
Public sector and regulated workloads moving to AWS
Programs that pair migration with application modernization

Look elsewhere when

Renewal is under six months away — bridge first
Azure-aligned estates

Ask before you sign
