Cloud Migration

In plain terms

Moving applications and data from on-premises to the cloud.

Going deeper

Cloud migration transfers workloads to cloud infrastructure, ranging from simple rehosting to full re-architecting. It's a major undertaking for many organizations.

Under the hood

The '6 Rs' (rehost, replatform, refactor, etc.) frame strategies; data transfer and downtime are key risks.

Examples

Lift-and-shift, replatforming, datacenter exit, AWS/Azure migrations.

Think of it like...

Like relocating a business to a new city, you can move as-is or redesign for the new place.
