Moving Your On-Premises Database to the Cloud

Short summary

Cloud database migration involves three main strategies: lift-and-shift (fastest, retains on-prem setup), heterogeneous migration (changes database engine for cost savings and cloud features), and phased cutover (minimal downtime via change data capture). Pre-migration assessment—evaluating data size, schema complexity, and application dependencies—prevents costly surprises. Managed cloud databases eliminate hardware costs while providing built-in replication, failover, and high availability.

• •Three migration strategies: lift-and-shift, heterogeneous (engine change), phased cutover (CDC-based)
• •Pre-migration audit must cover data volume, schema complexity, dependencies, compliance
• •Managed databases eliminate hardware costs and provide enterprise-grade HA out of the box
