AWS has defined a three-step framework for migrating to the cloud:
- Assess: Assess the organization’s readiness to move to the cloud. Define the desired business outcomes and develop the business plan for migration.
- Mobilize: Address gaps uncovered in the mobilize phase and build a landing zone for the applications to move into. Make sure application teams have the appropriate skills and knowledge to operate in AWS.
- Migrate: Move the applications into AWS with either native migration tooling or partner offerings.
If you have an AWS account team, they will be able to provide guidance and expert assistance with your migration. On top of this, AWS provides documentation to help you understand the options and tools available to you for a successful migration. We recommend starting with our How To Migrate page .
