Covered here are the various types of transition and transformation into the cloud from lift and shift to automated migration; the tooling and automation for the cloud environment; and the migration services via wave planning and check-pointing to the cloud for customers. Transition and Transformation is an integral part of cloud services, and creating a repeatable, reusable, factory model for a customer ensures a successful cloud migration.
