Enterprise Technology

Modernize infrastructure around operational needs.

Plan cloud and platform changes with explicit reliability, security, cost, and service ownership requirements.

The challenge

Dependencies decide the migration.

Moving workloads without reviewing dependencies can transfer existing complexity into a more expensive operating model.

Implementation considerations

Make the boundaries explicit.

01

Discover dependencies before migration

Inventory workloads, data movement, access paths, recovery needs, and support responsibilities. Choose migration approaches based on business constraints rather than a universal cloud pattern.

02

Build repeatable environments

Use versioned infrastructure definitions and reviewed configuration. Separate environments, manage secrets through appropriate services, and make deployment permissions explicit.

03

Prove operability

Exercise recovery procedures, alerts, rollback, and incident ownership before cutover. Performance and cost acceptance criteria should reflect representative workloads and realistic usage patterns.

Technical perspective

The architecture behind the work.

Operational checks decide whether a migrated workload is actually a supported service.

Scope the first step

Before the first commitment.

Can a workload move without being rewritten?

Often, but the dependency map decides. Discovery identifies what a workload actually calls, which is usually broader than the documentation suggests, and that determines whether rehosting or rebuilding is realistic.
