Migrating complex legacy workloads (such as SAP ERP databases or long-standing monolithic architectures) to managed cloud services offers massive scalability benefits. However, executing this transition without proper planning often results in extended downtime, data corruption, or configuration drift.
Cloud migration readiness is an SRE-led assessment process. Before shifting active production workloads, engineers must map all system dependencies, assess database sizes and schema rules, and evaluate the cloud compatibility of underlying libraries.
We implement a phased migration strategy. By leveraging Infrastructure as Code, we establish identical mirror clusters in AWS or Azure, synchronize active databases in real-time, test system limits, and then shift DNS traffic progressively. This methodology guarantees continuous availability and prevents configuration differences.
