Cloud migration can seem daunting, but with the right approach, it can transform your business operations. This guide walks you through the entire process from assessment to go-live.

Before migrating, you need a clear picture of what you have. Document all applications, databases, and dependencies.
Step 2: Choose Your Cloud Strategy
The "6 R's" of cloud migration: Rehost, Replatform, Repurchase, Refactor, Retire, Retain. Choose the right strategy for each workload.
