The steps or processes an enterprise follows during a cloud migration vary based on factors such as the type of migration it wants to perform and the specific resources it wants to move. That said, common elements of a cloud migration strategy include evaluating performance and security requirements, choosing a cloud provider, calculating costs and making any necessary organizational changes.

Without proper planning, a migration could negatively affect workload performance and lead to higher IT costs - thereby negating some of the main benefits of cloud computing.
Businesses who have in-house or custom developed applications might be looking at re-platforming or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). Most businesses can significantly reduce the costs and complexity of a custom application while enhancing capabilities by leveraging PaaS. While this requires significant upfront effort to evaluate the existing application(s), design, and thorough testing, the pay-off can be significant.
Other businesses may be looking to assess their on-premises applications for SaaS alternatives. Today, most off-the-shelf applications purchased are likely to be hosted on a server in the cloud or Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). Known as a “lift and shift”, this migration evaluates how best to optimize app performance once in the cloud, understand associated costs, and ensure the effectiveness of the security measures in the IaaS environment.
