A successful cloud migration starts with clarity. Define what you’re moving and why: cost control, scale, reliability, or security improvements.
Build a solid foundation first: accounts, networking, IAM, logging, and backups. This is your landing zone and it prevents expensive rework later.
Migrate in phases. Start with low-risk workloads to validate your approach, then move core systems once monitoring, security, and rollback plans are proven.
After migration, optimize continuously: right-size resources, improve observability, and automate deployments to keep costs and risk under control.
