What are our dependencies?

Map applications, data flows, access requirements and third-party integrations before selecting a migration sequence.

03

What does good governance look like?

Consider identity, environments, network boundaries, security responsibilities and cost visibility from the start.

How will we migrate safely?

Use phased planning, tested rollback options, validation criteria and clear ownership for changes.

Define the monitoring, documentation, incident handling and skills required once the workload has moved.
