Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: Planning a migration to the cloud involves several key steps:; ; - Define Goals: Understand the reasons for migrating, such as cost reduction, scalability, or improved security; - Assess Current Infrastructure: Inventory on-premises applications, data, and workloads to determine migration readiness; - Conduct Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Analysis: If relevant to the use-case, after assessing the current infrastructure, perform a TCO analysis to estimate the total costs involved over the lifecycle of the cloud environment. This compares the costs of maintaining current infrastructure versus the projected costs in the cloud, helping to justify the financial rationale of the migration; - Choose the Right Cloud Provider: Evaluate providers based on your specific needs and goals if a strategic decision has not already been made; - Plan Migration Strategy: Decide on a migration approach (rehost, refactor, rearchitect, etc.) and prioritise the migration; ; A successful cloud migration requires careful planning, testing, and execution to minimise downtime and ensure a smooth transition. Our team can lead the planning using proven approaches that we adapt for your specific situation and requirements.

This role description is used to self-assess a competency journey. We also assessment relevant complementary skills.; ; A Development Pathway is then created and contains activities, skills and training required to reach the required level of competency.; ; A combination of Coaching, Show-n-Tell, Demonstrations, Guided Self-Study, Role Shadowing and external formal training courses is used to progress the Development Pathway.

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: Quality, Security and Performance are vital measures to any cloud migration. ; Quality Assurance (QA) ensures that the cloud migration process adheres to the standards and requirements defined in planning. It involves validating the accuracy of migration, assessing security controls, and confirming compliance with organisational policies.; Performance Testing evaluates how well the migrated workloads perform in the cloud environment. It includes load testing, stress testing, and scalability testing to identify bottlenecks, optimise resource allocation, and ensure efficient utilisation of cloud resources.; Our team will agree the requirements as part of planning and then execute during and after migration. There will also be key areas that require testing and acceptance by the customer, including end users.; ; We always follow best practice in our design and delivery. We can undertake security testing ourselves or work with an independent third party security team. Our team will then work through any vulnerabilities or improvement areas until these are satisfactorily addressed or mitigated. ; ; By conducting thorough cloud security testing, organisations can proactively address security gaps and enhance overall protection in their cloud deployments.
