Course Overview

This advanced practical course provides a structured framework for planning, designing, executing, and governing cloud migration programmes. It focuses on moving applications, workloads, data, infrastructure, and services from traditional environments to cloud platforms while managing business continuity, security, performance, cost, and operational risks. The programme examines migration strategy, readiness assessment, workload discovery, application dependency analysis, migration approaches, target architecture, business case development, migration waves, data migration, security, governance, testing, cutover, and post-migration optimisation. Participants will explore how to prioritise workloads and establish an implementation approach that balances business value, technical complexity, risk, and investment. Through migration assessments, workload prioritisation exercises, architecture scenarios, migration planning workshops, risk analysis, and implementation case studies, participants will develop the ability to build practical cloud migration strategies, manage complex migration programmes, coordinate stakeholders, and establish controls for successful and sustainable cloud adoption.

Learning Objectives

  • Analyse the strategic drivers, benefits, risks, and challenges associated with cloud migration.
  • Assess organisational, technical, operational, financial, and security readiness for cloud migration.
  • Develop cloud migration strategies aligned with business and technology objectives.
  • Analyse applications, workloads, infrastructure, data, and dependencies before migration.
  • Evaluate appropriate migration approaches for different applications and workloads.
  • Prioritise migration candidates based on business value, complexity, risk, and readiness.
  • Develop migration waves, sequencing, timelines, resources, and implementation plans.
  • Assess target cloud architectures and infrastructure requirements.
  • Integrate security, compliance, governance, and business continuity into migration planning.
  • Manage migration testing, validation, cutover, rollback, and operational transition.
  • Evaluate post-migration performance, cost, security, and resource utilisation.
  • Develop a practical cloud migration roadmap and implementation governance framework.

Who Should Attend

This programme is designed for cloud architects, solution architects, IT managers, infrastructure managers, cloud engineers, enterprise architects, and professionals responsible for planning or implementing cloud migration initiatives. It is also suitable for project and programme managers, digital transformation professionals, cybersecurity specialists, DevOps and DevSecOps professionals, application owners, infrastructure specialists, finance and procurement professionals, and technology decision-makers involved in cloud adoption. The programme is particularly relevant to organisations modernising legacy environments, migrating enterprise applications, consolidating infrastructure, adopting cloud platforms, or developing large-scale digital transformation programmes.

Learning Outcomes

  • Explain the strategic and operational considerations involved in cloud migration.
  • Assess organisational and technical readiness for cloud adoption.
  • Build an inventory of applications, workloads, infrastructure, data, and dependencies.
  • Evaluate migration options according to workload characteristics and business requirements.
  • Prioritise workloads and establish migration waves based on risk, value, and complexity.
  • Develop target-state architecture and infrastructure requirements.
  • Assess migration risks and establish appropriate mitigation and contingency measures.
  • Integrate security, compliance, governance, and continuity requirements into migration plans.
  • Develop migration testing, validation, cutover, and rollback strategies.
  • Coordinate stakeholders, technical teams, vendors, and business owners throughout migration.
  • Evaluate post-migration performance, cost, security, and operational outcomes.
  • Develop an integrated cloud migration strategy, implementation plan, and governance roadmap.
