Provided Partner Solution:
Application migration service and how it works.

⦿ Application migration refers to the process of moving an application from one environment to another, such as from on-premises servers to the cloud, or from one cloud provider to another. This process can involve several steps, including

⦿ Planning: Identifying the scope of the migration, assessing the current state of the application, and defining the target environment.

⦿ Preparation: Gathering necessary resources, including hardware, software, and personnel, and setting up the target environment.

⦿ Migration: Transferring the application, its data, and any associated dependencies to the target environment. This may involve re-architecting the application to meet the requirements of the new environment, or modifying the application to take advantage of new features or capabilities.

⦿ Testing: Ensuring that the application is functioning properly in the new environment, and fixing any issues that are identified.

⦿ Deployment: Making the migrated application available to users in the new environment.

⦿ There are some tools and services available to assist with the process of migrating an application. These can include automated migration tools, which can help with the transfer of data and dependencies, as well as consulting services that can provide expertise and guidance throughout the migration process.
