Moving to the cloud is a strategic decision for any organization. It requires a well-planned approach, involving careful consideration of the existing infrastructure, application dependencies, and security requirements. In this post, we’ll take a look at the key requirements of an effective cloud migration, focusing on two popular platforms: Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure. We’ll provide an individual example of a cloud migration project for each platform.
- Amazon AWS: An effective migration to Amazon AWS requires a clear understanding of the organization’s business requirements, as well as the ability to select the right AWS services to meet those needs. For example, a healthcare organization may need to migrate its patient records and clinical applications to AWS. An effective migration project would require careful planning to ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations, as well as the selection of AWS services like Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL and Amazon Elastic File System for storage.
- Microsoft Azure: An effective migration to Microsoft Azure requires a deep understanding of the organization’s existing infrastructure and application dependencies. For example, a financial services organization may need to migrate its financial reporting applications to Azure. An effective migration project would require careful planning to ensure that the applications can be successfully migrated to Azure Virtual Machines and that the data can be securely stored in Azure SQL Database.
