When you search for ‘migration to Azure cloud steps’, you’re looking for a straightforward roadmap. While each project is unique, there are common stages that help ensure success.
- Assessment: Catalog applications, databases and dependencies, and classify workloads based on complexity.
- Planning: Define roles, responsibilities and budgets. Include licensing, training and operational costs.
- Strategy: Choose an appropriate migration strategy from the 7R framework.
- Automation: Use tools to replicate data and applications to Azure with minimal downtime.
- Cutover and Testing: Switch to the new environment, run validation tests and ensure KPIs are met.
- Optimisation: Monitor usage and costs, tune performance and iterate.
Additional steps enhance your chances of success:
- Engage Experts: Bring in migration specialists or vendor partners to guide you.
