AWS provides tools, automation, and partner support to help organizations overcome common migration challenges.
The talk concludes with a call to action for organizations to start their cloud migration journey by understanding their business case and current state, and to learn by doing.

Cloud migrations and modernization are no longer just strategic advantages but are fundamental to business strategy across industries.
