Abstract

Organizations move their digital assets applications together with IT resources from their physical infrastructure to a cloud computing environment through cloud migration. Enterprise struggle to be agile and scalable and achieve optimal cost efficiency through cloud adoption which has become an essential business strategy. The process to migrate to cloud environments becomes complex because organizations must execute detailed planning steps while implementing both the appropriate migration approach along with advanced security protocols. This paper presents a step-by-step framework for businesses who need to execute successful cloud migrations. A business must first assess its IT framework and establish migration targets as part of its assessment phase. A suitable cloud provider selection must be made from among Amazon Web Services (AWS) Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud based on evaluations of performance data along with cost and compliance requirements. Selection of the proper migration strategy stands as a critical factor because organizations should decide between rehosting (lift-and-shift), refactoring, rearchitecting, rebuilding or replacing their applications. An organization must prioritize security measures together with risk management and compliance concerns throughout the transition process. The document presents information about typical enterprise migration obstacles including data security threats and downtime consequences alongside costs that expand beyond predicted levels. Best practices for managing such obstacles to ensure a seamless migration process are also provided in this document. The research demonstrates that properly conducted cloud migrations generate better operational productivity and stronger data protection systems together with improved inter-team performance. Enterprises which use this defined method will reduce their perils and enhance cost performance and maximize the advantages of cloud solutions. The article functions as a complete guide towards smooth cloud migration strategies for business leaders and IT decision-makers.
