1- Preparation stage

  • Verify if the application follows a microservices architecture.

  • If not, refactor the monolithic application into a microservices architecture.

2- Planning Stage

Break down the microservices migration into phases based on their criticality for cloud migration.

Most used Migration Strategies:

  1. Rehost (Lift and Shift): Move applications to the cloud with minimal changes, focusing on quick deployment.

  2. Replatform: Optimize specific components for cloud use without significant code changes.

  3. Refactor/Rearchitect: Redesign the application, e.g., transforming a monolithic architecture into microservices.

  4. Relocate: Shift services, e.g., from Kubernetes to OpenShift or EKS.

Least Used Migration Strategies:

  1. Retain: Keep certain applications on-premise.

  2. Retire: Shutdown unused applications.

  3. Repurchase: Replace with a cloud-based solution.

3- Migrate Stage

Conducted in phases, working concurrently with the monitor stage.

4- Monitor Stage

Runs alongside the migrate stage to ensure smooth transitions.

5- Optimize Stage

Enhance efficiency, refine processes, and implement improvements for better performance.
