We are seeking an experienced Cloud Architect to lead the technical discovery and delivery for an AWS MAP Assess-phase engagement. The client operates a live production environment on Azure across Canada and Australia within the online betting/i Gaming sector, while their parent company runs fully on AWS. This is a structured, funded cloud transformation assessment aimed at producing AWS MAP-compliant deliverables that satisfy both AWS funding criteria (ACE submission) and board-level decision-making. You will map existing Azure footprints, apply The 7 R's of Cloud Migration (Rehost, Relocate, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, and Retain), evaluate TCO, and build out the comprehensive migration business case. Key Responsibilities Technical Discovery & Mapping: Lead discovery across the client’s Azure environments in Canada and Australia, mapping compute, networking, storage, databases, identity, and CI/CD pipelines to AWS equivalents. Apply the 7 R's Strategy: Evaluate all workloads against Rehost, Relocate, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, and Retain to formulate optimal target-state architectures.



TCO & Cost Modeling: Produce both a like-for-like cost comparison (current Azure vs. equivalent AWS) and an optimized, right-sized AWS target-state model. Migration Business Case: Build comprehensive assessment deliverables and business cases robust enough to withstand rigorous evaluation by AWS and the client’s board of directors. Modernization & Databricks Assessment: Identify replatforming opportunities leveraging native AWS services and assess the client’s existing Azure Databricks environment for migration implications. Risk & Compliance Mitigation: Document migration blockers, addressing strict data residency requirements (Canada/Australia), licensing models, and i Gaming/betting compliance constraints. Client & Stakeholder Collaboration: Lead client workshops, drive technical Q&A; sessions, and support the design of a phased migration strategy (e.g., greenfield deployment in a new jurisdiction followed by legacy migration). #J-18808-Ljbffr
