The Reality: Don't leave money on the table
Rajan, that $350k in Azure credits from TitletownTech is real runway. You’d be crazy not to use it. But "going Multi-Cloud" overnight usually turns into a mess. You end up with data siloed in one place and compute stranded in another. The goal shouldn't be "Migrate Everything or "Stay on AWS" (which wastes free money). The goal is hybrid efficiency. You need to aggressively burn those Azure credits for heavy R&D, while keeping your core production stable on AWS.
The "Translation Tax"
Since we are a Microsoft Premier Partner AND an AWS Premier Partner, we see this constantly. The danger is that your team gets stuck trying to translate AWS architecture into Azure architecture. They waste weeks figuring out the Azure equivalent of an AWS Lambda function instead of building battery features. You need a partner who speaks both languages fluently so your team doesn't have to learn a new dialect just to save money.
The Fix: We optimize the Bridge
We play offense. We help you identify exactly which workloads (likely the heavy simulations) to move to Azure to use those credits. Simultaneously, we lock down the critical production data on AWS so it remains bulletproof for the Kodak rollout. We don't care which cloud you use; we care that you are paying $0 on Azure (using credits) and as little as possible on AWS (using optimization).
The "Double Dip" Efficiency
Because we have top-tier status with both vendors, we can work both sides of the deal.
1. On Azure: We help you deploy the credit-heavy workloads properly so you don't burn the $350k on inefficient architecture.
2. On AWS: We apply our cost-optimization framework to whatever stays behind, ensuring your cash burn is minimized. We give you a unified view of the "Battery Cloud" regardless of where the servers physically sit.
What We Take Off Your Plate:
· Strategic Migration: We help you cherry-pick the workloads that represent 80% of your cost and move those to Azure to maximize the credit value.
· Azure Architecture: We validate the new Azure environment so you don't inherit security holes during the move.
· AWS Efficiency: We right-size the remaining AWS footprint so you aren't paying for provisioned capacity you no longer need.
