lol, explain what you do without using the word ‘transformation’ since that doesn’t mean anything.

With transformation, he means migrate customer's workload from on-prem/other cloud to aws.

This is what proserve does to you. Lots of talented people having very small span of work or doing glorified roles .

True. I am lucky to do complete redesign and implementation of a product for cloud, else it’s all workload migration.
