Our extensive experience in helping organisations adopt the public cloud is the key to your migration success.
Start your cloud migration journey with DevOpsGroupDevOpsGroup has extensive experience helping organisations adopt public cloud.
Based on our experience we have developed a Cloud Migration Engagement Model that aligned to the best practice recommendations for both AWS and Azure. The model ensures alignment at every stage of a cloud migration and ensures organisations embrace the cloud as a strategic technology for future success.
The DevOpsGroup Cloud Migration Engagement Model is broken down into four distinct phases each with key activities and deliverables ensuring a successful cloud migration.
The model is agile, with the iterative delivery of value for the client at every phase, and collaborative, with DevOpsGroup working closely with the customer’s Cloud Enablement Team (CET), product managers and other key stakeholders in the cloud migration process.
The Inception Phase of the Cloud Migration Engagement Model is designed to ensure that there is alignment between DevOpsGroup and your organisation.
This short phase comprises meetings and workshops with key stakeholders to ensure there is clarity of:
The Discovery & Design phase of the Cloud Migration Engagement Model ensures that the necessary planning and design work has been completed to ensure a successful migration to the cloud. The purpose of Discovery and Design is to specify the design and the plan to a sufficient level that build work in the Pilot or Delivery phase can begin with a reasonable degree of predictability while maintaining flexibility.
This phase comprises a number of key activities, outputs are delivered iteratively to the client in keeping with the ethos of rapid delivery of value to the customer. These activities include:
During the Delivery phase our squads of engineers, consultants and delivery managers will work to execute on the migration strategy agreed in the Discovery and Design phase. The Delivery phase follows an agile approach designed to ensure the DevOpsGroup team is working in partnership with your teams.
During the Delivery phase the engineering squads will adopt an agile cadence and set of agile ceremonies to ensure there is strong collaboration and clear communication at every stage of the delivery.
As part of a Cloud Migration, it is likely that the delivery phase will last for months, and possibly years, depending upon the number of applications and environments to be migrated. Over this time the squads will continue to adopt a principle of delivering value early and often and not just at the end of the phase.
The final phase of the Cloud Migration Engagement Model is the Enable phase. This phase is intended to ensure that organisations maximise the value of the work delivered. In a large cloud-migration individual applications and services will be iteratively transitioned into production during the however there are still key activities to finalise the migration.
