Move to Cloud Native
An AWS Modernization Pathway with TD SYNNEX
The "Move to Cloud Native" pathway is about re-architecting applications to fully leverage cloud services. This journey focuses on using serverless, managed services, and modern DevOps practices to build resilient, scalable, and innovative applications that are decoupled from traditional infrastructure.
Triggers & Compelling Events
Need for Agility
Market demands require faster feature delivery and innovation cycles.
High Operational Overhead

Developer Experience
Complex local setups and long feedback loops slow down developers.
Cost Optimization Pressure
Pay-per-use models are needed to align costs with actual usage.
Awareness & Discovery
