Why Migrate To The Cloud?
Cloud computing provides on-demand access to computing resources, enabling businesses to scale rapidly without capital investment in infrastructure. Modern cloud platforms also provide managed services for databases, security, AI, and analytics.
The 6 Rs of Cloud Migration
- Rehost (Lift and Shift): Move applications to cloud with minimal changes.
- Replatform: Make small optimizations to benefit from cloud (e.g., managed database).
- Repurchase: Move to a SaaS equivalent.
- Refactor: Re-architect for cloud-native patterns.
- Retire: Eliminate applications that are no longer needed.
- Retain: Keep applications on-premise (for now).
Building A Migration Plan
Start with an application portfolio assessment. Categorise each application by migration strategy, complexity, and business criticality. Migrate lower-risk applications first to build confidence and capability.
Managing Cloud Costs
Cloud costs can escalate without proper governance. Implement tagging, budget alerts, and right-sizing from day one. Consider reserved instances for predictable workloads.
