Cloud computing lets organisations rent computing power, storage and software instead of buying and maintaining their own servers. A structured migration reduces disruption and surprises.
1. Take an inventory
List your applications, data and the dependencies between them. You cannot plan a move without knowing what you have.
2. Decide what moves and how
- Rehost: move applications largely as they are
- Replatform: make small changes to benefit from cloud services
- Replace: switch to a ready-made software-as-a-service product
- Retire: switch off systems nobody needs
3. Start with a pilot
Migrate a lower-risk application first. It builds skills and confidence before critical systems move.
4. Plan security and costs from day one
Set up access controls, backups and budget alerts before workloads go live, not afterwards.
A successful cloud migration is a business project as much as a technical one. Clear goals and careful sequencing make the difference.
