FAQ
What is AWS Activate, and how does it help startups?
AWS Activate is a startup program by Amazon Web Services that gives eligible startups cloud credits, technical support, training, and tools to help you build, scale, and optimize on AWS. With Groots as an AWS Activate Provider / Scout partner, we help you access these benefits faster, guide you in choosing proper architectures, and optimize costs as you grow.
How do we apply through Groots, and what are the timelines?
- You (the startup) apply through Groots as an AWS Activate partner. We assist with the application, verification of eligibility, etc.
- Once approved, credits & tools are activated—this might take a few business days depending on verification, documentation, etc.
- Credit validity, usage, and support follow AWS’s standard policy + any conditions specific to your region or program via Groots.
Why should startups consider migrating their workloads to AWS?
Migrating to AWS allows startups to modernize infrastructure, reduce operational costs, and scale applications globally. With AWS’s pay-as-you-go model and services like EC2, RDS, and S3, you can move away from heavy CapEx investments into a flexible, optimized cloud setup that supports faster innovation.
Can we use AWS Activate credits for migration costs?
Yes. Credits from AWS Activate can offset eligible service costs like EC2, RDS, and data transfer during migration. However, some third-party tools, premium support, or marketplace licenses may not be covered. We guide you in aligning credit usage with your migration plan to maximize value.
How long does a migration to AWS typically take?
Migration timelines vary based on workload complexity, data volumes, and migration strategy. A small Dev/UAT migration can take a few days, while a production-grade multi-service migration may take weeks. At Groots, we recommend a phased approach—start with Dev/UAT, validate stability, then migrate production with minimal downtime.
What ongoing benefits will we see after migrating?
- Lower infrastructure costs via AWS’s pricing models (on-demand, Savings Plans, Spot).
- Better performance and reliability through multi-AZ deployments.
- Enhanced observability with CloudWatch and tools like CloudNetra (Groots’ AWS observability platform).
- Security and compliance alignment with CIS, SOC2, and startup-friendly practices.
How does Groots help with cloud migration?
- Assessing your current environment (Azure, GCP, on-prem, or hybrid).
- Designing the target AWS architecture with security, scalability, and cost optimization in mind.
- Executing phased migrations (Dev/UAT first, then Production).
- Post-migration support, including monitoring, cost control, and compliance.
