\"What<\/p>\n

A cloud migration strategy outlines how a business moves its applications, data, and workloads from on-premises systems to the cloud. It sets clear steps, tools, and resources to support a secure and successful transition. With the right plan, teams avoid delays, lower risks, and keep costs under control.<\/p>\n

Moving to the cloud also delivers practical benefits. Performance improves as resources scale quickly with demand, while costs stay predictable because you pay only for what you use. Reliability and resilience increase, helping systems remain stable during peak usage.<\/p>
