AWS migration service - Why not use technology to do the heavy lifting, rather than consultants?

With the help of technology an AWS migration doesn't have to be a daunting task, and AWS migration service can simplify things considerably.

If your cloud spending is significant, AWS will help with the migration for free or allocate funding to an AWS-qualified partner to complete the migration.

This albeit in principle means AWS will fund your migration to get you spending in their cloud and you can avoid consultants and support desk manual support, by using CloudOps (AWS certified) to automate the ongoing support and management. This is the future of the cloud and removes your reliance on managed service providers and consultants who run the day rate clock on intangible billable time.
