TürkçeWorkload Assessment
Record each application’s data flows, dependencies and technical debt to select its target and migration method.
Endurion Deep Dive
Planning a cloud migration
A good migration does not start by copying workloads, but with dependencies, identity, network, data, cost and a defensible target operating model.
Building blocks
Which building blocks make Planning a cloud migration robust.
A cloud migration starts by deciding where each application fits and how it will operate there. Dependencies, data, licensing and cost determine the sequence. Each wave needs tests, approval criteria and a workable rollback.
Landing Zone & Governance
Standardise accounts, subscriptions, networks, policies, logging and guardrails before the first production deployment.
Identity & Connectivity
Plan identity federation and Entra or IAM roles alongside DNS, routing, VPN and private connections. Test required access paths.
Migration Waves
Criticality and dependencies determine migration waves. Assign each wave owners, testing windows, rollback points and approval criteria.
FinOps & Operations
After migration, maintain budgets, tags, reservations, rightsizing and operational routines. Assign clear cost ownership.
Decision support
What must be clear before implementing Planning a cloud migration.
- Which applications favour cloud over local operation after technical and cost comparison?
- Which identity, network, data and application dependencies must be available before each move?
- Which landing-zone standards must be mandatory before the first production workload arrives?
- How will cost, performance and operational ownership be measured after each migration wave?
