AWS Advanced Partner in Brazil
AWS Migration Services in Brazil
An AWS Advanced Partner with local presence, bilingual support, and support assessing MAP eligibility for qualifying migrations.
Why migrate with a local partner?
Need credits for the migration?
The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) can support qualifying migrations with credits subject to AWS eligibility and approval, alongside a three-phase methodology (Assess, Mobilize, Migrate) and tools like AWS DMS and Schema Conversion Tool.
Does data need to stay in Brazil?
The AWS Sao Paulo Region (sa-east-1) can support Brazil data-residency strategies and LGPD-aligned architecture patterns for workloads that require local processing or storage.
Need LGPD compliance?
AWS Config monitors compliance in real time. AWS Audit Manager automates evidence collection for LGPD, SOC 2, and PCI DSS. Elevata sets up compliance guardrails from day one of the migration.
Team speaks Portuguese?
Elevata operates in Brazil and Canada with bilingual teams (Portuguese and English). Meetings, documentation, and support in your team's language, with no communication barriers during the migration.
Service availability, pricing, program terms, and regional support can change. Validate current AWS documentation before production decisions.

Process
How does an AWS migration in Brazil work?
Assessment and business case
We map your current infrastructure, system dependencies, and licensing costs. We build a business case with comparative TCO (on-premise vs AWS sa-east-1) and identify priority workloads.
MAP credit qualification
With the approved business case, we support assessment for the AWS MAP program. Credits may be available for qualifying migrations, subject to AWS criteria and approval.
Landing zone and cloud foundation
We configure AWS Organizations, Control Tower, security and compliance guardrails (LGPD, SOC 2). When the workload requires local residency, we design the architecture around the sa-east-1 region. IaC with CloudFormation or Terraform.
Workload migration
We execute migration using AWS DMS (databases), AWS Application Migration Service (servers), and Schema Conversion Tool (schema conversion). Automated integrity validation on each wave.
Optimization and ongoing operations
Post-migration: right-sizing, Savings Plans, monitoring with CloudWatch, and training for your team. Managed services option via Elevata Orbit for 24/7 operations.

More about usFrequently asked questions
What do people ask about AWS Migration Services Brazil?
What is the AWS MAP program?
The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) is a migration program with a three-phase methodology (Assess, Mobilize, Migrate), migration tools, and potential credits for qualifying migrations. Availability depends on AWS criteria and approval.
Can data stay in Brazil during migration?
Yes. The AWS Sao Paulo Region (sa-east-1) supports workload designs with local processing and storage when a data-residency strategy or compliance requirement calls for that pattern. LGPD does not require local residency in every case, so we assess the requirement by workload.
How long does a migration to AWS take?
Depends on scope. An assessment takes 2-4 weeks. A first workload migration (pilot) takes 4-8 weeks. A full data center migration can take 3-12 months, executed in waves. The MAP program structures everything in phases to reduce risk.
Do I need an AWS partner to use MAP?
Yes. The MAP program commonly involves a qualifying AWS partner to structure the business case and support eligibility assessment. Credit availability depends on AWS criteria and approval.
Does Elevata offer post-migration support?
Yes. Beyond migration, we offer managed services via Elevata Orbit: 24/7 operations, monitoring, cost optimization, and continuous platform evolution. Your team can focus on the product while we operate the infrastructure.
