Talk ยท AWS Community Day Adria 2026
From the Ground to the Cloud
Abstract
Most cloud journeys stall not because the technology is hard, but because the path is unclear. In this session, we cut through the noise and show you exactly how to go from where you are today to a secure, cost-efficient, and fully optimized AWS environment, the ground-to-cloud way.
Drawing on the Crayon & AWS partnership and real-world experience, we’ll walk you through the building blocks that actually move the needle: assessing your cloud maturity, architecting for security from day one with Well-Architected principles and Landing Zones, and using the Cloud Adoption Framework and Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) to migrate with confidence instead of guesswork. Then we get to the part everyone cares about, money, with the Optimization & Licensing Assessment and a practical look at Cloud Economics and FinOps that turns your bill into a lever, not a surprise. We close with what makes modern teams fast: DevOps, Terraform, and automation, backed by Crayon’s hands-on AWS support.
Whether you’re taking your first step into AWS or looking to tighten and scale what you already run, you’ll leave with a clear roadmap, sharper questions, and concrete ways to do more with less. Come for the cloud strategy, stay for the answers.
