Cloud migration: the checklist before the first move

Clarify dependencies, identities, network, data, backup and operations before migration.

Service illustration

“Cloud migration: the checklist before the first move” addresses technical and operational questions. Legal applicability to your organisation, sector and use requires a separate review.

The starting point

Clarify dependencies, identities, network, data, backup and operations before migration.

What matters in practice

Prepare the target environment before the first cloud move: identities, DNS, network paths, logging and operational ownership. Data transfer is one part; tests and a workable rollback determine whether a migration wave is approved.

A defensible checklist

Classify workloads by dependency, criticality and migration method.
Complete landing zone, identity, DNS, routing and logging before the first move.
Give every migration wave tests, rollback and go/no-go criteria.
Activate FinOps, backup, monitoring and operational ownership immediately after the move.

Next sensible step

For the first candidate, document its full dependency chain and run a bounded trial. Record downtime, cost and manual work alongside technical outcomes. Use the findings to plan later waves.
