Question

### What is Cloud Migration?

Answer 1

output:

Cloud Migration is the process of moving digital assets — applications, data, IT resources — from on-premises infrastructure to cloud infrastructure.

Key aspects:
1. **Planning:**
    - Assessment
    - Strategy development
    - Resource planning

2. **Execution:**
    ```yaml
    Migration Steps:
      - Data migration
      - Application migration
      - Testing
      - Validation
      - Cutover
    ```

Answer 2

output:

Common cloud migration strategies (6 R's):

1. **Rehosting (Lift and Shift):**
    - Moving applications without changes
    - Quickest migration method
    - Minimal optimization

2. **Replatforming (Lift, Tinker and Shift):**
    - Minor optimizations
    - Cloud-specific improvements
    - Maintaining core architecture

3. **Refactoring/Re-architecting:**
    ```yaml
    Benefits:
      - Better cloud-native features
      - Improved scalability
      - Enhanced performance
    Challenges:
      - More time-consuming
      - Higher initial costs
      - Required expertise
    ```

Answer 3

output:

Cloud Assessment is the process of evaluating the suitability of cloud services for a specific use case or workload.

Key components:
1. **Assessment Criteria:**
    - Cloud service capabilities
    - Cost and pricing
    - Security and compliance
    - Performance and scalability
    - Disaster recovery and high availability

2. **Assessment Methodology:**
    - Cloud service comparison
    - Risk assessment
    - Cost-benefit analysis

Answer 4

output:

Application Modernization is the process of transforming existing applications to leverage cloud-native features and capabilities.

Key components:
1. **Application Analysis:**
    - Current application state
    - Application architecture
    - Technology stack

2. **Modernization Strategy:**
    - Cloud-native architecture
    - Microservices
    - Containerization
    - Serverless computing

3. **Migration:**
    - Data migration
    - Application migration
    - Testing
    - Validation
    - Cutover

Answer 5

output:

Cloud Migration Tools are software tools that help automate the migration of applications and data to cloud platforms.

Key components:
1. **Data Migration Tools:**
    - Database migration tools
    - Application migration tools
    - Data synchronization tools

2. **Application Migration Tools:**
    - Application packaging tools
    - Application containerization tools
    - Application serverless tools

3. **Migration Orchestration Tools:**
    - Workflow automation tools
    - Service coordination tools
    - Resource scheduling tools
