❓ FAQ

▶What's a lift-and-shift migration?
Moving applications as-is to cloud without redesign; fast but may miss cloud optimization.
▶How long does a migration take?
Varies dramatically (weeks to months+); depends on complexity, data volume, dependency chains.
▶What's the biggest migration risk?
Data loss or corruption, downtime, security breaches, and cost overruns.
▶How do I plan a phased migration?
Prioritize by criticality, dependencies, and resource constraints; migrate low-risk first.
▶What about data transfer costs?
Can be significant; many cloud providers offer free egress during initial migration window.
▶How do I validate a migration?
Parallel running, cutover testing, data reconciliation, and performance monitoring.
