Migration readiness stages
A practical sequence we use with clients before anyone provisions a production account in a new region. Stages can overlap; the order matters more than the calendar labels.
-
Inventory truth
List running services, owners, and data classes. Replace “we think” diagrams with exports from your repo and monitoring where possible.
-
Code and config review
Book the cloud application code review to surface hard-coded hosts, secret sprawl, and missing health checks.
-
Target shape decisions
Use an architecture assessment to agree what moves together, what stays behind a VPN, and what needs rewriting.
-
Roadmap and rehearsals
The migration roadmap turns decisions into phases, rollback triggers, and comms templates for support desks.
-
Cutover and observation
Your team executes; we remain available on a follow-on day rate if you want an independent observer during the first 72 hours in the new environment.
