Pave the way for more innovation
The cloud has transformed how we do business, with SaaS at the forefront
Overwhelmingly, organizations prefer software as a service (SaaS) when evaluating their software choices. Currently, organizations typically deploy over 100 SaaS applications, with analysts projecting sustained expansion through 2026 and beyond. In fact, the SaaS sector is expanding at a rate of nearly 12% annually.
The demand for SaaS applications is increasing because they deliver the speed, agility, flexibility, performance, and security that organizations are missing with their on-premises solutions. Migrating to the cloud helps organizations focus on innovation while decreasing time to value. By migrating, they eliminate time-consuming activities, such as provisioning hardware and maintaining on-premises systems.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a secure and reliable foundation for your cloud journey. As organizations scale, however, maintaining visibility and consistent protection across dynamic environments becomes more complex. That’s where Cribl comes in, helping teams stay in control of their telemetry data as they migrate and modernize on AWS.
In this ebook, you’ll discover how using Cribl Stream on AWS can help you manage and route data effectively as workloads move to the cloud. You’ll learn more about the benefits of cloud-based services, why now is the best time to migrate to AWS, and how Cribl is well-equipped to help you maximize the cloud.
Bring clarity to cloud transitions
A flexible foundation for telemetry data on AWS
As organizations move workloads to AWS, one challenge often rises to the top: managing the growing volume and complexity of telemetry data—the logs, metrics, traces, and events that provide visibility into system performance and security. Without a clear way to shape and route that data, migrations can introduce unnecessary risk and blind spots.
Cribl solves this problem by acting as an intermediary layer in your data pipeline between data sources and destinations, giving teams a simple, consistent way to manage how data moves as environments change. You can collect from any source, whether it’s on-premises or hosted on another cloud, transform it as needed, and route it to the right AWS services or analytics tools without being tied to a single vendor or architecture.
Running Cribl Stream through Cribl.Cloud on AWS lets teams take a phased, low-risk approach to cloud adoption. You can maintain existing environments while sending a copy of data to AWS, validate that everything is working as expected, and then adjust or scale with confidence. This approach helps teams avoid disruptive cutovers and keeps visibility intact throughout the transition.
Once workloads are running in the cloud, Cribl Stream continues to drive efficiency by normalizing, filtering, deduplicating, and enriching data with context. This process creates cleaner datasets and ensures higher quality inputs for both human analysts and AI models, effectively bridging the operational gap between the “what” and the “why.” You can further modernize your stack by using Cribl Edge to replace legacy agents and Cribl Lake for long-term retention. With Cribl Search, you can query data wherever it resides through federated search. Together, these capabilities ensure more efficient use of cloud services as your AWS environment scales.
Experience the most comprehensive cloud platform
Get a head start on innovation by migrating to AWS
Deciding to adopt SaaS-based solutions often starts with a desire to cut costs and reduce IT burdens. However, many organizations find that the value of running workloads on AWS extends well beyond the cost savings of retiring legacy infrastructure. AWS is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud, offering more than 200 fully featured services. It’s the destination for organizations— both large and small—to innovate and gain business agility.
Key benefits of AWS:

Achieve better business outcomes
Start your migration today with Cribl and the AWS ISV Workload Migration Program
To streamline your cloud migration, it’s important to have proper support and guidance when you need it. Work with Cribl and follow a proven migration path to accelerate your journey to the cloud and achieve benefits faster. Cribl is an AWS ISV Workload Migration Program (WMP) partner that helps customers modernize workloads by bringing choice, flexibility, and control to telemetry data as environments move to AWS. We can work in tandem with your in-house IT teams for a smooth and efficient cloud transition.
WMP partners provide tools, best practices, and funding to support workload migrations quickly.
Through the WMP, Cribl and AWS have partnered to simplify and secure your migration from on-premises infrastructure to the cloud, offering:
A proven migration process that mitigates risk
Faster time to value through rapid cloud adoption
Reduced migration costs with AWS funding
Post-migration optimized cloud security and operations
Simplify migration with expert support
Cribl is ready to help you maximize AWS
Migrating workloads to AWS can introduce uncertainty around data visibility, security coverage, and operational continuity. Cribl helps teams reduce that uncertainty by focusing on how telemetry data is handled throughout the migration process.
Rather than forcing a single migration path, Cribl supports flexible adoption models that align with your team’s migration strategy, including phased approaches that allow teams to validate progress and adjust as environments change.
Before migration: Prepare and prioritize
Before workloads move, teams need a clear understanding of what data matters most and where it should go. Cribl enables teams to prioritize the telemetry data most important to their organization, normalize it for consistency, enrich it with additional context, and establish routing rules that support both existing environments and AWS. This preparation reduces blind spots and sets a strong foundation before any cutover occurs.During migration: Validate without disruption
As workloads transition to AWS, maintaining visibility is essential. With Cribl, teams can send copies of data to AWS while legacy systems remain active, validate that monitoring and security signals are intact, and test changes incrementally. This approach minimizes risk and avoids disruptive all-at-once transitions.After migration: Adapt and optimize
Once workloads are running on AWS, Cribl continues to help teams manage change. Low-value or duplicate data can be filtered out, important data can be routed to the right AWS services, and data flows can evolve as environments scale. This ongoing flexibility helps teams control costs and maintain operational awareness as cloud usage grows.
Maintain visibility during cloud migration
Accenture Federal Services simplifies AWS migration with Cribl
Accenture Federal Services supported a large US civilian agency as it migrated critical applications and services to AWS as part of a major infrastructure modernization effort. The migration spanned front-end web services and back-end data services, supporting systems relied on by millions of users. To keep this complex transition moving forward, the team needed a way to manage data pipelines efficiently without slowing progress or increasing risk.
Cribl helped Accenture Federal Services simplify the migration process and improve efficiency by making it easier to work with live data throughout the transition. Using Cribl Stream, the team could preview and test data in real time without relying on lengthy change management processes. This made it faster to validate data flows, streamline troubleshooting, and verify that systems were operating as expected as workloads moved to AWS.
Building efficiency as the environment evolved
As the migration moved forward, Cribl supported a growing range of data sources and operational needs across the AWS environment. The team was able to onboard new data sources quickly, test changes without disrupting operations, and reduce delays that often occur during large-scale modernization efforts. Cribl also helped simplify processes such as token and key management, reducing overhead while maintaining strong security and compliance controls. Over time, these capabilities allowed Accenture Federal Services to focus less on managing complexity and more on supporting the agency’s modernization goals as its AWS environment expanded.
“What brought Cribl into the environment was the need to unify data. Cribl’s UI, live preview capabilities, and workflows made it easy to configure and manage data pipelines effectively.”
