Why Move From On‑prem To Cloud
Elastic scale
Right‑size compute and storage; scale for peaks without buying hardware.
Lower ops burden
Patching, backups, and HA handled by managed services with SLAs.
Faster delivery
Dev/test environments spin up in minutes with templates and IaC.
Built‑in security
Network isolation, KMS keys, private endpoints, and policy guardrails.
Resilience
Multi‑AZ/Region strategies reduce outage impact and recovery time.
Cost visibility
Tagging & budgets give per‑team chargeback and cost controls.
Cloud vs On‑Prem: what changes
| Dimension | On‑Prem | Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Capex/Opex | Up‑front hardware, refresh cycles | Opex pay‑as‑you‑go, reserved options |
| Scaling | Procure & install weeks/months | Minutes via APIs & autoscale |
| Availability | Single DC; DR complex | Multi‑AZ/Region primitives |
| Security | Perimeter‑focused | Identity‑centric, least privilege |
| Ops | Manual runbooks | Managed services & automation |
| Cost control | Limited visibility | Tags, budgets, alerts, per‑service |

FAQs
How much downtime should we expect?
Most workloads achieve near‑zero downtime using CDC and blue/green cutovers. Some require brief read‑only windows. We design to your SLAs.
Can you migrate heterogeneous databases?
Yes. We map types, refactor incompatible features, and validate with checksums and app‑level tests.
What about data sovereignty?
We deploy in‑region, enforce residency via policy, and document flows in the DPIA where required.
