To define it simply, the term ‘cloud migration’ refers to the process of moving your business’s data, email and applications to a cloud computing environment. Often, this entails moving the data from a legacy, on-premise IT infrastructure to the public cloud.

Cloud migration is the process of moving data, applications or other business elements to a cloud computing environment. There are various types of cloud migrations an enterprise can perform. One common model is the transfer of data and applications from a local, on-premises data center to the public cloud.

There are different types of migration such as counter-urbanization, emigration, immigration, internal migration, international migration and rural-urban migration.

A cloud migration is when a company moves some or all of its data center capabilities into the cloud, usually to run on the cloud-based infrastructure provided by a cloud service provider such as AWS and Azure

Clouds move because the wind is carrying the parcel of cloudy air along. Wind occurs at all levels of the atmosphere from the ground up to higher than a jumbo jet can fly. Sometimes there can be no wind on the ground, but cirrus clouds very high up can be seen moving because of the wind where they are.
