Are you looking for a roadmap to move/migrate/hybrid to the cloud? or how to utilize cloud technologies in a planful manner?Senior Engineering Manager in Finance (non-banking), 5,001 - 10,000 employees
It all depends on your case. If you are looking forward to move to cloud from on prem here are some pointers - 1. Plan - List all apps, databases, requirements, Choose cloud provider, migration plan.
2. Design and Architecture - based on cloud provider and your requirements, choose the patterns, services and tools.
3. Security and Configuration - Access control, Security settings, Firewalls etc.
4. Data migration - Once apps are deployed (re-hosted or refactored), choose how do you switch the databases and migrate data. There are tools available for that.
5. Monitoring - Setup dashboards for SLA, SLOs, performance metrics, app monitoring etc.
And as always - Continuous improvements with documentation and cross skilling in team.

We've built the framework for cloud migration/modernisation initiatives. Format is graphical. Looks more or less like this:

- Calculating Cloud Cost
- Choosing Cloud Architecture
- Cloud Migration Strategy
- Considering Security Risks
- Designing team for further steps
- Business impact discussed and designed
Design
The “Design” wave encompasses the complete design of primary and subsidiary cloud and data processes. The substance of the project is generated here with a broad scope capturing each element necessary for completion.

- Data modelling and Design
- Data security check and design
- Data quality audit and design
- Data architecture designed
- Policies and documentation updates

- Data integration verified and designed
- Data Mapping plan
- Data storage verified, designed or redesigned
- Data targets designed
- PoC / Batches plan
- Manuals delivered
Migration
The “Migration” wave sees implementation of all new processes. Planning and execution of migration is accompanied by TCO and ROI checks. Ultimately, testing and a final release sees a full connection of designed processes with the system.
- Planning
- Selecting tasks
- Sprint building
- Meetings. Synchs. Retros
- TCO and ROI checkup
- Coaching
- Migration and Automation
- Testing and final realease
