Migrating to the cloud is less a single project than a sequence of well-sequenced decisions. This guide walks through a production-tested approach.
Why migrate now
Three forces make this the moment: elastic cost, managed security, and reproducibility.
- Cost elasticity — pay for what you use
- Managed security — offload patching and DDoS
- Reproducibility — every environment defined in code
Treat migration as a refactor, not a lift-and-shift.
Migration strategy
Classify each workload against the six Rs.
| Strategy | When to use | Effort |
|---|---|---|
| Rehost | Time-boxed exit | Low |
| Refactor | Core, long-lived | High |
That is the whole game.
