It was last updated in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most radical trends in enterprise IT in the recent years is cloud migration. With cloud service providers innovating constantly to address the security and management concerns around cloud adoption, enterprises seem more positive and reassured to migrate their on-premises workloads to the cloud. While the more popular migration approach is the move to the public cloud, private clouds are also rising in adoption and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/product\/cloud-monitoring\">hybrid clouds<\/a> are also on the rise. Digital transformation is one of the major drivers of cloud adoption across the world.<\/p>\n<table class=\"java-problems-list\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"problems-list-title\" valign=\"top\">Enterprise Forecast: Cloudy with a Chance of Migration<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">\n<ul class=\"nobotmargin\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/newsroom\/id\/3871416\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to Gartner<\/a>, the worldwide public cloud services market is projected to grow 21.4 percent in 2018 to total $186.4 billion, up from $153.5 billion in 2017<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cio.com\/article\/228702\/state-of-the-cio-2018-it-business-alignment-finally-gets-real.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2018 State of the CIO<\/a> survey results from CIO.com list cloud computing as ranking third highest priority for IT investment amongst CIOs<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/louiscolumbus\/2017\/11\/07\/forresters-10-cloud-computing-predictions-for-2018\/#135ea1114ae1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forrester predicts<\/a> that more than 50% of global enterprises will rely on at least one public cloud platform to drive digital transformation and delight customers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>One can\u2019t expect magic to happen and have all organizations just lift and shift their workloads to the cloud.

Compared to rolling out new services and\/or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/do-developers-really-want-invisible-infrastructure\/\">infrastructure in the cloud<\/a>, migrating existing workloads to the cloud may be even more challenging. With careful planning, training, backup, benchmarks, and pre-defined expectations of performance and service levels, cloud migration typically happens in phases.<\/p>\n<p>This blog encapsulates 10 best practices that are intended to help IT teams \u2013 whether in large enterprises, SMBs, or part of service provider organizations \u2013 to achieve performance success in their cloud migration projects and benefit from high levels of service availability, cloud infrastructure performance and user experience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"frm-cta\" style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\"><a class=\"frm-cta-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/webinar\/best-practices-cloud-migration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch the Webinar: Cloud Migration Best Practices \u00bb<\/a><\/div>\n<p>As we discussed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/monitoring-and-the-cloud-black-boxes-and-black-holes\/\">cloud migration<\/a> is not a one-time activity. It typically involves various steps staggered across three important phases: pre-migration, migration and post-migration. Continuous monitoring of performance and analysis of capacity needs is critical throughout the cloud migration journey. The following best practices will help map the importance of monitoring to each of these areas and help you achieve performance success in your cloud endeavors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cloud-pre-and-post-migration.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cloud-pre-and-post-migration.png\" alt=\"Cloud Migration Best Practices\" width=\"1204\" height=\"471\" border=\"0\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cloud-pre-and-post-migration.png 1204w, https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cloud-pre-and-post-migration-300x117.png 300w, https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cloud-pre-and-post-migration-1024x401.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cloud-pre-and-post-migration-800x313.png 800w, https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cloud-pre-and-post-migration-310x121.png 310w, https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/cloud-pre-and-post-migration-140x55.png 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1204px) 100vw, 1204px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"question-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Understand_Your_Digital_Business_Service_and_Its_Performance_Implications\"><\/span>#1 Understand Your Digital Business Service and Its Performance Implications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Understand digital business services end-to-end, and outside-in from the external customer\u2019s perspective<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you know how your monitoring strategy will isolate the cause of performance issues across all tiers, what level of automation is embedded and what it will take to maintain effective correlation<\/li>\n<li>Understand how you will baseline current and future services at every level\u2014end user experience, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/\">business transactions<\/a>, applications and infrastructure\u2014and what level of automation is included<\/li>\n<li>Recognize that application ecosystems can vary significantly, and while not all are suitable for migration to the cloud they are still critical for performance in pre- and post-production environments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"question-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Identify_and_Understand_Workloads\"><\/span>#2 Identify and Understand Workloads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Workloads include applications and their supporting ecosystems<\/li>\n<li>Whether an existing workload is suitable for the cloud is dependent on the application and its supporting ecosystem<\/li>\n<li>Topology maps can help visualize workloads, and it is helpful to go beyond discovering discrete elements and include dependencies (application-to application, application-to-VM, and VM-to-physical machine)<\/li>\n<li>Correlating applications and infrastructure performance can significantly help understand workloads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"question-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Capture_Current_Performance_Baselines\"><\/span>#3 Capture Current Performance Baselines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Capturing baseline data is critical for assessing the suitability of migrating a workload to the cloud from both a cost-benefit and a performance perspective.<\/li>\n<li>Diagnosing performance issues in any environment\u2014pre-production and production\u2014can require significant efforts from many different stakeholders.<\/li>\n<li>Testing often requires a deeper view of how applications work, including the underlying infrastructure components<\/li>\n<li>Understanding current performance baselines can bring immediate value to the enterprise, even before applications are migrated to the cloud<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"question-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Ensure_Organizational_Readiness\"><\/span>#4 Ensure Organizational Readiness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cloud migrations will involve cultural change<\/li>\n<li>Match the level of tool-chain integration to your current organizational capabilities<\/li>\n<li>Managing cross-functional stakeholders is often the &#8216;heavy lifting&#8217;
