Assuming a $400/month engineer, 1 month.

  How many servers did you have to move? I'd assume that you can count them on your fingers if the bill is only $1000/month. That's a "reasonably" small scale migration, if not locked in on AWS services.

    Yep, we spend around $45-$50k/month and are quite happy with our support from AWS.

    Agreed, we have 10 instances on AWS, but it's hard to judge the complexity of the migration just based on that because these servers vary in size, requirements, and purpose. But all in all, yes, it is a fairly small scale migration.

    Generally speaking, the number of servers has very little to do with complexity of migration or existential threat from downtime, relative to company size.

      Generally speaking, the numbers of server is a good indicator of the amount of services, which has much to do with the complexity of a migration.

        Servers used to be beautiful snowflakes. That's not so true anymore, especially at EC2 or GCE.
