- Security/Compliance Standards: Ensure migrated workloads align with enterprise cloud standards for IAM, networking, logging, encryption, backup, tagging, and monitoring. Support post-migration security validation including vulnerability remediation and baseline hardening. Maintain documentation and evidence artifacts required for governance, audit, and operational handoff.

- Automation/Continuous Improvement: Contribute to migration playbooks, repeatable runbooks, templates, and automation patterns to improve migration speed and quality. Support use of infrastructure-as-code and systems management tooling for post-launch configuration and standardization. Identify opportunities for optimization, right-sizing, and modernization following rehost migration completion. Drive continuous improvement in migration execution throughput and success metrics.
