CloudAWSMigrationDevOps

Cloud computing reduces infrastructure costs by 30-50% on average. But migration without a strategy leads to budget overruns and downtime.

Cloud Provider Comparison

AWS (Amazon Web Services) Largest market share (32%). Best for startups and enterprises. Most services and integrations.

Microsoft Azure Best for enterprises using Microsoft products. Excellent hybrid cloud support.

Google Cloud Platform Best for data analytics and machine learning. Competitive pricing. Strong Kubernetes support.

Migration Strategies

1. Rehost (Lift and Shift) Move servers as-is to cloud VMs. Fastest approach, minimal changes.

2. Replatform Minor optimizations during migration. Use managed databases, containers.

3. Refactor Rebuild for cloud-native architecture. Microservices, serverless. Maximum benefits.

Common Pitfalls - Not auditing current infrastructure first - Ignoring data transfer costs - Skipping security planning - No rollback strategy - Migrating everything at once
