Plan Before Moving
Workloads, dependencies, and compliance requirements must be mapped before migration.
Ignoring upfront planning leads to surprise costs and failures.
Phased Execution
Start with non-critical apps to test processes.
Gradually expand to mission-critical systems with lessons learned.
Security in Migration
Data is most vulnerable while in transit—strong encryption is vital.
Identity and access management must be modernized for cloud scale.
Cost Optimization Post-Migration
Left unchecked, cloud spend balloons. Rightsizing, monitoring, and reserved instances protect budgets.
FinOps practices ensure cost efficiency long term.
Beyond 2025
Hybrid and multi-cloud setups are the new normal.
AI-powered scaling and optimization will automate cloud management.
