A cloud migration checklist for mid-size companies in Indonesia

A migration goes wrong in the planning, not on the night of the move. This is the checklist we use before we touch a single server.
Before the move
- Map every workload and who depends on it
- Decide what to move, what to retire and what to rebuild
- Check where personal data will be stored
- Rehearse the rollback until it is boring
On the weekend
Move on a Saturday night, in small batches, with the business owner of each system on call. Test every batch before the next one starts. If a test fails twice, roll back and try again next week.
Rehearse the rollback until it is boring.
After the move
Keep the old servers for two weeks, then switch them off for good. Review the first cloud bill line by line: most savings come from resources that are larger than they need to be.
