SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps organizations plan and execute cloud migration strategies, addressing the complexities of moving applications and data to cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, and Azure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Migration Strategy Guidance: Provides an overview of the "6 Rs" of migration (Rehost, Replatform, Repurchase, Refactor, Retire, Retain).
  • Cloud Provider Mapping: Offers service mappings for AWS, GCP, and Azure to common on-premises infrastructure components.
  • Infrastructure as Code Examples: Includes basic Terraform examples for AWS resources.
  • Migration Checklist: Outlines pre-migration, during-migration, and post-migration tasks.
  • Use Case: A company looking to move its on-premises database to AWS can use this skill to understand the equivalent AWS services (like RDS or Aurora) and follow a structured checklist for a smooth transition.

Quick Start

Use the cloud-migration skill to get a checklist for migrating an application to AWS.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What are the 6 Rs of cloud migration and when should I use them?▼

The 6 Rs of cloud migration—Rehost, Replatform, Repurchase, Refactor, Retire, and Retain—define strategies for moving applications. Use them to determine whether to lift-and-shift, optimize, or rebuild on-premises infrastructure for AWS, Azure, or GCP.

How do I map on-premises infrastructure to AWS, Azure, or GCP services?▼

To map on-premises infrastructure to cloud services, use service mapping to find equivalent AWS, Azure, or GCP components. This helps translate existing database or compute setups into managed cloud resources during migration planning.

How do I plan and execute a cloud migration using infrastructure as code?▼

Plan cloud migration by defining resources with infrastructure as code, such as Terraform examples for AWS. This automates provisioning and ensures consistent environment setup during the execution phase.

What should be included in a cloud migration checklist for moving applications?▼

A cloud migration checklist should include pre-migration assessments, during-migration execution steps, and post-migration validation tasks. This structured approach ensures a smooth transition to AWS, Azure, or GCP without missing critical operations.

Does this cloud migration strategy support both lift-and-shift and cloud-native design?▼

Cloud migration strategies support both lift-and-shift and cloud-native design. You can choose to rehost applications directly or refactor them into fully managed services depending on your AWS, Azure, or GCP requirements.

When should I choose replatforming over refactoring for a database migration?▼

Choose replatforming over refactoring when you want to move an on-premises database to a managed cloud service like AWS RDS with minimal changes. Refactoring is better suited for redesigning architecture for full cloud-native optimization.
