cloud migration
The process of moving data, applications, and workloads from on-premises infrastructure to cloud environments to achieve greater scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency.
Cloud migration is the strategy and execution of transferring digital assets—such as data, applications, and IT resources—from local data centers or legacy systems to cloud-based infrastructure. This process enables organizations to leverage the scalability, agility, and cost benefits of cloud computing while modernizing their technology stack.
Successful cloud migration involves careful planning, assessment of application dependencies, data transfer, and post-migration optimization. Common approaches include rehosting (lift and shift), refactoring, rearchitecting, and adopting cloud-native services.
By migrating to the cloud, organizations can accelerate innovation, improve disaster recovery, and respond rapidly to changing business demands. However, migration projects require robust security, compliance, and change management practices to minimize risk and ensure business continuity.
