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
