Cloud Migration Activities

Phase 1

• Discovery and planning

Here the roadmap for migration is created, cloud readiness assessment is done, application teams are engaged with, the cloud project team and timelines are framed.

Phase 2

• Cloud Provider Selection

The cloud provider is selected based on the use cases and the features of cloud most desired by the organisation which can meet the organisation objectives for migration

Phase 3

• Creation of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

Phase 4

• Creating the cloud pilot project

Here we prepare the foundation for pilot migration, create and execute the proof of concept, choose the candidates for pilot migration, migrate the pilot workloads as representative cases, examine the performance and latency, create scripts to automate the pilot migration process. Then we validate the applications on the foundation cloud. The economic model is verified against the larger application portfolio of your organisation. The security, compliance and the operational processes are mapped out.

Phase 5

Executing the Cloud Migration

The following activities are undertaken to execute cloud migration

• Establishing workloads in the cloud
• Right sizing of instances
• Fine tuning the configurations
• Testing and deploying
