The challenge
IT and security teams are overwhelmed by fast-growing telemetry data. Logs, metrics, traces, and events come from everywhere. Without a clear way to shape and route that data, workload migrations can create visibility gaps, increase security risks, and disrupt operational continuity.
Additionally, self-hosted or on-premises data sources need to be modernized with the help of cloud-based solutions.
The solution
Cribl is an AWS ISV Workload Migration Program (WMP) partner that helps teams navigate uncertainty during cloud migrations and beyond. By modernizing workloads and bringing choice, flexibility, and control to telemetry data management as environments move to AWS, Cribl ensures that data remains accessible and actionable throughout the transition. With Cribl Stream, teams can decouple sources from destinations and manage how data flows as environments evolve. 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.
By deploying Cribl Stream through Cribl.Cloud on AWS, you have the flexibility to migrate at your own pace. A phased, lower-risk approach to cloud adoption also allows you to transition away from self-hosted syslog servers while maintaining existing environments.
You can send a copy of the data to AWS to 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 migration.
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 Al 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.
Accelerating migration timelines with Cribl Stream
Accenture Federal Services streamlined a large-scale AWS migration for a major U.S. civilian agency by integrating Cribl Stream to manage complex data pipelines for systems serving millions of users.
By enabling real-time data validation and eliminating the bottlenecks of traditional change management, Cribl significantly accelerated migration timelines while reducing operational risk. This streamlined approach never compromised rigorous security or compliance, allowing Accenture and the agency to shift their focus from managing infrastructure complexity to achieving long-term modernization goals.
The benefits of using Cribl with AWS
Maintain full visibility throughout your migration
Route data to both self-hosted and cloud environments simultaneously to enable continuous monitoring and ensure no visibility gaps during the transition. You can maintain business continuity by keeping legacy systems running as your new system comes online. For federal agencies or organizations with federal mandates for Saas workloads, teams can leverage Cribl.Cloud Government, which provides an environment specifically built for those workloads.
Strengthen your security posture during and after migration
Enhance your security posture and telemetry by using Cribl to enrich logs with context, such as GeolP and threat intelligence, before they reach your system of analysis. This approach allows you to validate incoming data and protect against PII leakage as you move from legacy environments to the cloud. By filtering out the noise, you ensure a secure, high-fidelity data stream across your entire infrastructure.
Reduce risk and remain compliant
Mitigate the risk of data loss by sending a full-fidelity copy to low-cost object storage, such as Cribl Lake, while simultaneously migrating processed events to your new analytics tool. This replay capability ensures you can meet long-term retention requirements without managing local storage.
You can easily recover data during migration hurdles or route regulated events to specific boundaries to limit exposure.
Streamline data collection from hosted machines
Use Cribl Edge to collect data from legacy agents on your hosted machines and route it directly to cloud destinations. This approach simplifies the transition from data centers to AWS by providing a consistent way to manage telemetry without ripping and replacing your existing infrastructure.
Migrate your workloads to achieve business goals
Whether you want to speed innovation, improve security, optimize costs, or support agility and scalability, migrating your workloads to AWS can get you there. AWS allows you to increase service availability and reliability in a secure cloud environment to help meet your business goals. Moving to AWS can help you speed time to value and access new markets or buyers around the world. In addition, AWS provides businesses with simplified management, ease of use, and the ability to scale services up or down as needed to meet business demands.
“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.”
