Cloud Migration to Azure & AWS: A Practical Guide

A cloud migration succeeds or fails long before the first workload moves. Readiness assessment, landing zone design, and a realistic wave plan account for most of the outcome.

The 6 Rs — rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, retain — remain the cleanest framework for deciding what to do with each workload. Not everything belongs in the cloud, and being honest about that up front saves budget.

Day-two operations are where value is captured or lost: cost governance, security baselines, and platform automation are what turn a migration into a durable capability.
