Automating Cloud Migration with No-Code and Low-Code Platforms

This white paper discusses the process of automating cloud migration using no-code and low-code DevOps platforms. It outlines the migration work streams, which include application migration, data migration, infrastructure migration, and the implementation of security controls and compliance standards. The document details the challenges faced by businesses transitioning from on-premises workloads to public cloud environments, such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. It describes various strategies for application migration, including lift-and-shift, redeployment, and repackaging approaches. Additionally, the paper emphasizes the importance of minimizing downtime during data migration and presents techniques such as offline data transfer and differential backups. The role of automation in streamlining these processes is highlighted, noting that effective automation can significantly reduce project duration and improve security and correctness. The paper concludes by addressing the complexities involved in adapting security measures to cloud environments compared to traditional on-premises setups.
