Cloud Migration: practical questions
Understand the configuration and responsibilities before requesting an order.
Is migration free?
Migration is a scoped service. Transfer effort, compatibility work and validation are priced in the quotation; it is not automatically included with a server.
Can you guarantee no interruption?
Interruption depends on the application, data changes and cutover method. The migration plan assesses downtime and rollback; no zero-downtime promise is made here.
What access is needed?
Access depends on the source, destination and transfer method. Provide the inventory first. Agree secure credential exchange after the scope has been reviewed.
How is this service priced?
The quotation identifies resources or subscriptions, selected operating work, taxes, licences and commercial commitments. Consulting and provider consumption charges are reviewed separately.
What should I send with an enquiry?
Describe the application or provider, current setup, users, data size and intended change. Avoid passwords, private keys and confidential business records.
Are backups or recovery included?
Confirm protected data, frequency, retention, storage location and restore responsibilities separately. Provider retention features do not automatically establish an independent backup arrangement.
How are support and management defined?
The approved scope lists tasks, channels, escalation and maintenance responsibilities. Any support hours or response commitments must be agreed for the service.
Can the configuration or subscription change later?
Changes depend on availability, software and commercial commitments. Review potential interruption, data, licences and costs before approving a resource or subscription change.
