AWS Advanced Partner in Brazil
AWS Migration Services in Brazil
An AWS Advanced Partner with local presence, bilingual support, and access to the MAP program with $100K+ in migration credits.
Why migrate with a local partner?
Need credits for the migration?
The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) provides $100K+ in credits for qualifying migrations, a proven three-phase methodology (Assess, Mobilize, Migrate), and access to tools like AWS DMS and Schema Conversion Tool.
Does data need to stay in Brazil?
The AWS Sao Paulo region (sa-east-1) enables data residency in Brazil as required by LGPD. For workloads requiring data sovereignty, all resources can be provisioned exclusively in this region.
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.
Amounts, programs, and requirements as published by AWS and subject to change.

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 qualify your migration for the AWS MAP program. This unlocks $100K+ in credits to cover migration costs: parallel environments, training, and tooling.
Landing zone and cloud foundation
We configure AWS Organizations, Control Tower, security and compliance guardrails (LGPD, SOC 2). All resources in the sa-east-1 region for data sovereignty. 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 that provides $100K+ in credits, a three-phase methodology (Assess, Mobilize, Migrate), and access to migration tools. It requires a qualifying AWS partner for application. Elevata facilitates access as an Advanced Partner.
Can data stay in Brazil during migration?
Yes. The AWS Sao Paulo region (sa-east-1) allows all resources and data to remain in Brazilian territory. This meets LGPD requirements for data residency. The migration can be configured so no data transits through regions outside Brazil.
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 requires a qualifying AWS partner to submit the business case and unlock the credits. Elevata, as an AWS Advanced Partner, can qualify your migration and facilitate access to the program.
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.
