Stage 03: Prepare for Migration

STEP: 01

Prepare the Ambient Conditions

The CDWT team develops the design for the landing zone, which includes network, security, computing, storage, security controls, cloud platform operations, and governance regulations. The plan emphasises the organization’s standard operating procedures for security and governance.

STEP: 02

Expanding the Landing Zone Blueprint

There are three types of factors to consider while designing a landing zone.

Hosting – Decisions about computation, storage, networking, and databases to offer hosting alternatives in the touchdown zone. blueprint
Fundamentals of Azure – These are the fundamental building elements for arranging cloud-based resources.
Governance Considerations – Implementation of governance principles at each landing zone

Stage 04: Preparing for the Migration
Step 1: Intuitive choice and creativity using the 6Rs

Several cloud-native features might be advantageous to older applications when the system is upgraded to their benefit. CDWT facilitates selection among the renowned 6Rs. What exactly are they?

REPURCHASE

The organisation abandons its on-premises software licence and migrates to the cloud-based version of the same software, repurchasing the licence.

REHOST

Identifying the apps and current workloads to be transferred and lifting and shifting them to the cloud environment is the purpose of this step.

REPLATFORM

This procedure employs a similar technique to rehosting platforms and apps. Nonetheless, adjustments are done to guarantee that the platforms operate properly on the Azure cloud.

REARCHITECT

To prepare existing on-premises apps, databases, and workloads for cloud migration, the codebases are drastically redesigned.

RETIRE

This entails identifying duplicate apps or platforms that are producing needless strain and driving up operating expenses. They may be decommissioned and replaced with a version that is more cloud-friendly.

RETAIN

Businesses may choose to keep certain old, on-premises apps if they offer excellent performance and are integral to mission-critical initiatives.

Stage 05: Robust Administration for End-to-End Ownership

Maintaining a well-managed cloud infrastructure requires strict adherence to governance/compliance standards.

Document business risk and risk tolerance
Define policies and develop procedures for monitoring infractions.
Monitor costs and establish cost responsibilities
Make every attempt secure by design
Enforce identity and access policy with the correct RBAC
Drive and emphasise consistency and uniformity
