Use case

Cloud landing zone + migration waves

Establish secure, repeatable cloud foundations and migrate applications and data in controlled waves, with cost and reliability controls built in from day one.

Example measures Fewer incidents • Cost control
Typical outputs Landing zone + runbooks
Core services Cloud • Architecture

Overview

This use case focuses on building a secure cloud landing zone (identity, networking, security, logging) and then executing migration waves with clear governance, testing, and operational controls.

Landing zone foundations

  • Identity and access model
  • Networking, connectivity, segmentation
  • Logging, monitoring, and policy guardrails

Migration wave delivery

  • Application grouping and dependency mapping
  • Repeatable build and deployment patterns
  • Cutover plan and rollback strategy

Foundations first, then migration waves with controls.

Landing zone Security, network Logging, policy Wave delivery Migrate apps & data Test and cutover Operate Monitor, cost control Reliability practices

Example measures

  • Migration wave success rate (cutover without rollback)
  • Change failure rate and incident trends
  • Cost visibility and optimisation opportunities

Illustrative measures, tailored per organisation.

Typical deliverables

  • Landing zone blueprint and policies
  • Migration waves plan and runbooks
  • Observability and cost management setup
