# Cloud Migration
|
|
|
|
**Cloud Migration** is the process of moving data, applications, and other business elements from an on-premises infrastructure to a cloud-based environment, or between cloud environments.
|
|
|
|
## Common Misconception
|
|
|
|
> **Myth**: Migration to the cloud is too complex and risky.
|
|
|
|
> **Reality**: Cloud migration can be smooth with proper planning.
|
|
|
|
## Migration Strategies
|
|
|
|
1. **Phased Migration**: Incrementally move workloads in stages to minimize risk
|
|
2. **Lift-and-Shift (Rehosting)**: Move applications without modifications
|
|
3. **Replatforming**: Make minimal changes to leverage cloud capabilities
|
|
4. **Refactoring/Re-architecting**: Redesign applications for cloud-native features
|
|
5. **Hybrid Cloud**: Keep some workloads on-premises while moving others to the cloud
|
|
6. **Multi-Cloud**: Distribute workloads across multiple cloud providers
|
|
|
