Cloud adoption is rising fast, but many businesses still struggle with migration pitfalls. Whether you’re moving one workload or your entire infrastructure, here are five key mistakes to avoid:
1. Lifting and Shifting Without Optimization
Copying everything “as-is” can lead to increased cloud costs and inefficiency. Refactor where possible.
2. Ignoring Security Best Practices
Cloud platforms come with shared responsibility — ensure access controls, encryption, and compliance settings are configured.
3. Poor Downtime Planning
Always schedule migrations during low-traffic hours and have rollback plans.
4. Skipping Dependency Mapping
Know what services or applications are interconnected to avoid breaking your systems.
5. Lack of Post-Migration Testing
Once migrated, validate performance, security, and user access before going fully live.
