Migrating your databases and workloads to the cloud is a serious undertaking with inherent risks of downtime and data loss. You need to ensure that your existing databases are compatible with cloud environments and can be easily transferred to the cloud. And to ensure you are getting the most value from your cloud investments while avoiding unexpected costs and fees, you need to carefully manage and optimize your cloud spending.

Your cloud databases must perform efficiently and have the ability to scale as needed. The effect of cloud migration on your current applications and infrastructure should also be taken into account. Managing and maintaining your cloud systems at scale is a must and you must be able to handle frequent updates and upgrades from cloud providers.

All database migrations come with risk. But you can help mitigate that risk by automating and streamlining cloud migration tasks and ensuring efficient cloud operations.
