Episode 109 — Cloud-to-Cloud Migrations and Vendor Lock-In

This episode addresses migrations between cloud providers, often driven by cost optimization, service availability, or strategic alignment. We explain how to assess compatibility, data transfer methods, and service mapping when moving workloads between platforms. Vendor lock-in risks are discussed, including dependency on proprietary APIs or services, and how multi-cloud strategies can reduce these risks.

We also highlight considerations for minimizing downtime, securing data in transit, and validating post-migration performance. In the Cloud+ exam, cloud-to-cloud migration scenarios test your ability to plan and execute transitions while managing operational and strategic risks.
