Migration Strategy

Migration Approach

Choose your migration strategy:

Lift & Shift (Rehost)

• Minimal changes to applications
• Fast migration with immediate cloud benefits
• Cost optimization opportunities post-migration

Re-platform

• Minor optimizations for cloud
• Improved performance and cost
• Balanced effort vs. benefit

Refactor

• Significant application changes
• Cloud-native architecture
• Maximum long-term benefits

Wave Planning

Wave 1: Low-Risk, High-Value (Month 1-2)

• Non-critical applications
• Simple architectures
• Limited dependencies

Wave 2: Core Business Applications (Month 3-4)

• Customer-facing systems
• Revenue-generating applications
• Moderate complexity

Wave 3: Complex & Legacy Systems (Month 5-6)

• Mission-critical systems
• Complex dependencies
• Highest risk applications

Timeline & Milestones

Phase 1: Assessment & Planning (2-4 weeks)
