After scoping and cost assessment, Arbeidstilsynet realized that AWS would be their chosen platform for migration to cloud. Arbeidstilsynet took on a fail fast approach with AWS and started to test basic services like Windows EC2, RDS for SQL Server and Elastic Beanstalk. This became the grounds for migration of key Microsoft technology based applications. The first applications migrated were in-house built applications that support labor inspection processes.

With direct help from a Senior AWS Solution Architect, Sinus was able to get started on the migration right after the decision was made. All core application servers were candidates for migration. The on-premises environment consisted of 100% Windows and Windows EC2 was a natural choice for application servers. For the Database tier, SQL Server on EC2 was chosen to maintain access at OS level. Continuity of data and application dependencies were mapped before migration began.
