Bell's cloud experts first conducted a migration assessment. This evaluated the feasibility of migrating infrastructure to the cloud based on project requirements, solution architecture and implementation costs. To validate the operations in the cloud, the assessment also provided a step-by-step migration path and a proof-of-concept project plan.

During a one-day cloud maturity assessment workshop, the Bell Cloud team evaluated the overall cloud strategy and provided an objective framework with guidelines to optimize the new solution architecture. The technical workshop also featured a thorough review to align the proposed architecture with MyBell’s internal networking, corporate security and data governance policies. 

With the planning and design complete, Bell's next proof-of-concept task was to help clarify SLAs during the AWS onboarding process and to solve configuration challenges like firewall port adjustments and network routing for new AWS regions. As the onboarding process was fine tuned, subsequent firewall requests were faster, and the process became more apparent to the development team.

After the proof-of-concept was complete, Bell Cloud experts had a clear path to create the AWS instances, establish the development pipeline and execute builds. At the same time, they integrated the solution with the company's existing DevOps and Quality (DOQ) stack, which ensured a smooth migration to the AWS cloud without disrupting development activities.
