Which step follows the assessment of your on-premises apps in the migration process?

After assessing your on-premises applications as part of the migration process, the next logical step is migrating the apps. This stage involves actually transferring the applications and their data to the cloud or the new environment that has been deemed appropriate during the assessment phase.

During the migration, various methods may be employed, depending on the application architecture, the underlying infrastructure, and operational requirements. This could include strategies like lift-and-shift, re-platforming, or refactoring, based on what was determined during the assessment stage about each application's compatibility and requirements for running in a different environment.

Testing and cut-over, decommissioning old servers, and architecting a new solution, while important parts of the overall migration process, occur either during or after the migration phase. Testing and cut-over typically follow migration to ensure functionality and performance in the new environment, while decommissioning refers to retiring old systems only after successful migration. Architecting a new solution is generally a pre-migration activity and includes planning how the applications will run in the cloud or new infrastructure.
