Cloud Migration Fundamentals: Best Practices for Moving to the Cloud

About This Course

A cloud strategy is a plan. A migration is the part where the plan meets a production system that can’t go down, and the two rarely line up as cleanly as the deck promised.

This course covers the practices that close that gap: how to sequence a migration, what breaks if you skip a step, and how to keep the business running while the infrastructure underneath it changes. It’s about execution, not the strategic decisions that come before it.

What You’ll Learn

• Choosing a migration approach along the axes that actually decide it: All-at-Once vs Service-by-Service, and Inside Out vs Outside In
• Defining, measuring, and baselining the KPIs that tell you whether the migration is actually working
• Taking on the migration-architect role, and the decisions only that role makes
• Assessing and prioritizing which workloads move first, and why that order matters
• Migrating data without losing it, corrupting it, or taking the source system down
• Managing risk, resource optimization, and cloud costing throughout the migration, not just at the start

Who This Is For

Architects, infrastructure engineers, and IT leaders responsible for actually executing a cloud migration, past the approval stage.
