In this day and age, where businesses are expanding and thriving, it is necessary to keep up with the technology and create business portability. Multinational corporations and offices have invested huge efforts and manpower in improving their operations, and cloud migration is one of them. In simple words, cloud migration is transferring services and applications to the cloud. Cloud computing offers scalable services such as data servers, storage networking, and software to name a few. However, like in any other field, problems can occur with cloud migration. These problems mostly occur due to the lack of understanding of the critical process involved in cloud migration.

Let’s discuss these problems and why they occur in detail. 

Ignoring Digital Business Service And Utilization Of Its Capabilities:

People miss out on understanding the customer’s perspective; it is one way of analyzing the external view of the business. Another aspect that most companies let go of is; they are not aware of what level of automation has been embedded and what it will take to maintain a useful correlation. 

In a rush for meeting the financial targets, most businesses that rely on cloud migration forget to set a criterion for their services, regardless of a predictable crackdown in the future, for example, business transactions, user experience, and infrastructure.

These problems mostly occur due to the lack of understanding of the critical process involved in cloud migration.

Complete Reliance On Cloud And Applying Unnecessary Workload:

Stay cautious and understand that it is vital to visualize workload; laziness leads to a lack of understanding of discrete elements such as application to application, application to VM, and VM-to-physical machine), use of topology maps can help a user visualize it. 

The user should be updated on the existing ecosystem for the cloud, which is mostly left unnoticed. 

Losing Track of Performance 

The most significant mistake users tend to make is missing out on data capturing and tracking. It is essential to assess the suitability of migrating workloads on the cloud. Understanding the current performance and analyzing it can bring significant value to the business way before the applications are migrated to the cloud. Make sure that everything is diagnosed, especially pre-production performance.

Errors in Post Migration Reports:

The moment you start to plan your pre-migration and monitor the strategy, the post-migration summary should initiate a higher view of digital service performance. Things that mostly lead to failure in a post-migration report are: 

• Irrelevant comparisons of target services

• Ignoring the trending reports and eventually missing out on the target

• Disregarding the current environment

• Inability to evaluate the statements correctly

Don’t Let The Boat Sail On The Same Speed: 

Organizational transparency and trust can gradually build through regular monitoring of transformation programs. Don’t forget to align your service lifecycle with your procedures of monitoring and organizational maturity. 

Failing to acknowledge the broad organizational and technical scope of monitoring leads to an immediate breakdown; make sure to have development plans in place to exploit monitoring investments. 

Create multiple interfaces with related workstreams in terms of costing, governance, and security. Monitoring is a part of this whole cloud journey and should be a vital ingredient from scratch and not just as an afterthought post-migration.
