Most cloud services have some sort of migration tool. https://aws.amazon.com/applicati... https://cloud.google.com/archite... However, you need to actually make sure you understand how the cloud provider you want to move to works and the difference between your current and previous cloud providers. A few practical ways to attack: Hire a consultant to help you migrate. Create a staging environment (if you system is capable of it) and do thorough testing. Once you are confident that it works, take your system down and perform a migration by switching staging to production environment. Migrate bit by bit. See if it is possible to migrate certain parts of the infra bit by bit until everything has been fully migrated. edit ** Just found this Could be a decent starting point to create a strategy. https://pmsquare.com/analytics-b...
