Enterprise Cloud Migration
A strategy-and-architecture guide to enterprise cloud migration: the 7 Rs, governed landing-zone architecture, sequencing workloads by value and risk, shared-responsibility security, and the FinOps discipline that keeps cloud economics honest.
Enterprise cloud migration is the disciplined process of moving applications, data, and infrastructure to the cloud for scalability, agility, resilience, and — done well — lower total cost. The gap between a migration that pays for itself and one that becomes a pricier version of the old problem is decided by strategy, not by choosing a provider.
It's an architecture and portfolio program: assess and sequence each workload by value and risk, pick a deliberate strategy per workload (the 7 Rs — rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, retain, relocate), and land everything in a governed, secure landing zone defined as code before migrating at scale. Provider choice — AWS, Azure, Google Cloud — matters less than landing-zone discipline and FinOps cost control.
Security is shared responsibility (a specialisation of application security); delivery runs through Cloud Solutions and DevOps. An Architecture Review assesses your estate and designs the landing zone.
