Keep VCF cleanup honest with a tiny AWS lane

A tiny workflow that stays on-prem for the app but uses AWS only to make cleanup and cost visible.

Use a namespace-level VM and DB sequence in VCF, then pair it with a one-command AWS audit lane for cleanup honesty.

3 phases
>
phase 01Read VCF and VKS baselinelive

Read the VCF/VKS side first so the cloud touchpoint has context and a bounded blast radius.

2 cmds
  1. 01
    Read the current VM footprint in the workload namespace.
  2. 02
    Keep the live app data visible while the workflow unfolds.
>
phase 02Touch one cloud primitivelive

Make one deliberately small cloud interaction that complements the VCF workload instead of replacing it.

2 cmds
  1. 01
    Use the TTL audit as the one cloud hygiene check in the proof.
  2. 02
    Show whether prior runs truly finished and left no hidden debris.
>
phase 03Prove the workflowlive

Confirm the mixed workflow is observable end to end and leaves a clear operator narrative behind it.

2 cmds
  1. 01
    Close the cloud side with today’s spend rather than a deeper migration story.
  2. 02
    Return to the current app as the real operational surface.
