Measures time from migration start to production cutover.
Tracks unexpected downtimes after migration.
Compares actual costs to planned migration budget.
Monolith moved to cloud VMs to optimize short-term operational cost and schedule modernization.
Application decomposed into microservices, containerized and run on a Kubernetes platform.
Batch and streaming pipelines transfer historical and ongoing data into a centralized cloud-based data warehouse.
Assess: inventory, analyze dependencies, evaluate risks.
Plan: define target architecture, migration waves, budget and timeline.
Pilot: run a small representative migration and capture findings.
Migrate: wave-based migration with monitoring and acceptance.
Operate: implement operating models, cost optimization and continuous improvement.
