Cloud Migration isn’t just a technical shift; it’s a strategic move. Whether you’re scaling an operation, launching a platform, or modernizing a business, a smooth migration ensures continuity, performance, and cost-efficiency.
Key Phases of Cloud Migration
1. Assessment
- Identify workloads, dependencies, and performance needs.
- Evaluate current infrastructure and readiness.
2. Planning
- Choose the right migration strategy: Rehost, Refactor, Revise, Rebuild, or Replace.
- Set timelines, budgets, and KPIs.
3. Execution
- Use tools like AWS Migration Hub, Azure Migrate, or Google Cloud Migrate.
- Test workloads in staging before full deployment.
4. Validation
- Monitor performance, security, and cost post-migration.
- Ensure data integrity and user access.
