Migration Scope

What We Migrate from
DigitalOcean to AWS

Our migration service transfers the critical components of your DigitalOcean infrastructure to AWS so that your applications continue running with minimal changes. We replicate the server environment inside AWS by migrating virtual machines, storage volumes, operating systems, applications, and configurations.

Primary Component

Droplet Virtual Machines

Each Droplet is migrated and recreated as an AWS EC2 instance, allowing the server environment to run on AWS infrastructure without rebuilding the system from scratch.

Linux and Windows Droplets
Web and application servers
Database servers
Development environments

Attached Block Storage Volumes

All attached DigitalOcean volumes are securely transferred and recreated using Amazon EBS storage so application data remains intact and accessible.

DO Volumes → EBS Data Integrity Block Storage

OS & Installed Applications

Your operating system, installed packages, services, and runtime environments are preserved to maintain full compatibility after migration to EC2.

OS Images Runtime Environments Services

Server Configuration & Environment

Critical system configurations including SSH keys, cron jobs, environment variables, firewall rules, and system users are preserved during migration.

SSH Keys Cron Jobs Firewall Rules

Application Data & Databases

Application files, databases, and persistent data stored on your servers are securely transferred and configured in AWS services such as EC2 storage, EBS, or RDS.

Migration Process

Our DigitalOcean to AWS Migration Process

We follow a structured migration methodology designed to minimize downtime and ensure that applications run correctly after migration. Each stage is carefully validated before final deployment.

Infrastructure Assessment

Analysis

Before migration begins, our engineers review your DigitalOcean environment. This assessment helps determine the migration strategy and estimated timeline.

Server Conversion & Data Transfer

Transfer

After planning, we convert your DigitalOcean Droplets into AWS compatible virtual machines. The goal is to replicate your DigitalOcean environment accurately inside AWS.

03

Testing & Production Cutover

Go Live

Once migration is completed, we verify the AWS environment thoroughly. After verification, the final production cutover is performed so services run from the AWS infrastructure.

Migration Timeline

Estimated Migration Time

The time required depends on server size, number of virtual machines, storage volume size, and application architecture. Small environments can be migrated quickly, while larger infrastructures require a staged migration process.

Typical Migration Timeframes
Single Droplet (small server)
1 Droplet instance
2 – 6 hours
Medium environment
3 – 5 servers
1 – 2 days
Large infrastructure
10+ servers
3 – 7 days
Complex multi-tier applications
Depends on architecture
Custom estimate

Includes server conversion, storage transfer, testing, and deployment.

Factors That Influence Migration Time
Server Disk Size

Larger storage volumes require more time to transfer data from DigitalOcean to AWS EBS.

Number of Virtual Machines

Multiple servers require coordinated migration and testing for each instance.

Network Transfer Speed

Available bandwidth affects the time required for transferring server images and storage between platforms.

Application Architecture

Applications with multiple layers, databases, and load balancers require additional planning and staged migration.

Storage Configuration

Environments using multiple disks or large datasets may require staged transfers to AWS EBS.

Lift & Shift Details

What Gets Migrated

Everything your server depends on is migrated as-is using our lift and shift cloud migration workflow.

Operating System and Kernel

Your Droplet's OS and kernel configuration are preserved and migrated to EC2 without modification.

Installed Applications and Services

All installed software, runtime environments, and background services are transferred with the virtual machine to AWS.

Databases and Data Volumes

Application databases, block storage volumes, and file systems are migrated to AWS EBS while maintaining full data integrity.

Users, Permissions, and Configurations

User accounts, SSH keys, permissions, and system configurations remain unchanged after migration to AWS EC2.

Startup Scripts and Cron Jobs

All automated tasks, startup scripts, and scheduled jobs continue running in the AWS EC2 environment.

No Application Refactoring Required

Lift and shift migration allows applications to run exactly as configured on DigitalOcean without requiring code modifications.

Downtime Expectations

Some downtime may occur during the final cutover stage. However, proper migration planning and staged data transfers help minimize service interruption.

Downtime may occur during:
Final DNS cutover and traffic switch
Database migration and final sync
Final validation before production launch

Our structured migration plan minimizes this window while ensuring the AWS environment is fully validated and production-ready before cutover.

Security and Access Handling

Migration uses secure transfer methods and controlled server conversion processes. All data and environments are verified before final deployment.

Security practices include:
Temporary access used only for migration tasks
Secure transfer of Droplet images and data
No infrastructure changes without approval
Access revoked immediately after migration
