The End of On-Premise Servers
Maintaining physical servers is costly and poses massive security risks. Cloud Migration to AWS, Azure, or GCP provides infinite scalability and disaster recovery.
The 3 R's of Cloud Migration
- Re-hosting (Lift and Shift): Simply moving your existing virtual machines to the cloud (e.g., AWS EC2) without changing code. Fastest, but least optimized.
- Re-platforming: Making minor adjustments to take advantage of cloud features, like swapping a self-hosted MySQL database for Amazon RDS.
- Re-factoring: Completely rewriting the application into microservices using Docker and Kubernetes to fully leverage cloud-native architecture.
