EU cloud migration
Not everything should leave the hyperscalers. Some workloads should. We tell you which ones, what it would really cost, and how to move them without a big-bang cut-over.
An EU cloud migration assessment looks at your AWS or Azure workloads and decides which could move to Hetzner or other EU providers, with a cost model, the risks and a step-by-step plan in Terraform and Ansible. It is for companies worried about cloud costs, data location or dependence on one US provider. The assessment starts at €2,500 and takes 1–2 weeks; the migration itself is quoted separately.
Read-only access to billing and accounts; we map workloads, data and dependencies.
Costs and designs for each candidate workload, including the effort to run it afterwards.
A short report with a recommendation per workload, discussed with you on a call.
A phased migration plan and infrastructure-as-code skeleton, ready to quote and execute.
Hyperscalers are expensive for some things and very good at others. A typical AWS account mixes both:
A good assessment can conclude that you should stay. In that case you still leave with a cost map, a cleaner account and an exit plan you can show clients.
Every target environment is written in Terraform and configured with Ansible before any data moves. Each workload moves on its own: we copy data, run both sides in parallel where possible, switch traffic, and keep the old side ready for rollback until you approve. Monitoring and backups are in place on the new side before the cut-over, not after.
We do not push a migration that does not pay off, and we do not move everything at once. If the numbers say stay, the report says stay.
Eight blockchain networks on dedicated servers, built with Terraform and Ansible. A custom health daemon knows when a node has fallen behind the chain and takes it out of rotation on its own.
A European fintech processing payments, cards and crypto, with 20–50 people and a regulated core. We lead its DevOps over the long term: infrastructure as code, PCI DSS controls, payments connectivity and disaster recovery.
Usually not. Full exits are rare and often not worth it. The usual result is a partial move: steady compute, storage, build runners or bandwidth-heavy services go to an EU provider, while workloads that depend on managed AWS or Azure services stay. The assessment tells you where your line is.
It depends on the workload, and we will not quote a percentage before seeing yours. Steady compute and bandwidth often cost much less on dedicated or EU cloud servers. Managed databases, queues and serverless are harder to replace and need people time to run. The cost model shows both sides.
From €2,500 excluding VAT, usually in 1–2 weeks. The migration is then a separate fixed-scope quote based on the plan.
It depends on how many workloads move and how much data. We plan it in phases, one workload at a time, each with its own cut-over and rollback, so the business keeps running throughout.
Mostly Hetzner, including dedicated servers, plus other EU cloud and hosting providers when they fit better. We describe everything in Terraform and Ansible, so you are not locked into us or the provider.
It can. A documented exit plan and a clear map of where data is hosted are things financial-sector clients ask for. The assessment gives you both, even if you decide to stay.
Tell us roughly what you run and what you pay. We will say honestly whether an assessment is worth it for you.
