What is Cloud Migration?
Moving applications, data, and workloads from on-premises infrastructure to cloud platforms.
Cloud migration is the process of moving digital assets (applications, data, IT resources) from on-premises data centers to cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP). Migration strategies range from 'lift and shift' (moving without modification) to 'replatform' (minor optimizations) to 'refactor' (rebuilding for cloud-native). Cloud migration is often a foundational initiative in digital transformation, enabling scalability, cost flexibility, and access to modern data and AI services.
