【Definition】Cloud migration refers to a set of methodologies and practices encompassing cloud planning, architecture selection, and cost optimization. The key to understanding it is to first clarify the business problems to be solved, then assess your own data, processes, and personnel capabilities before adopting any solution—avoiding direct copy-paste of others' approaches.

[Key Implementation Steps] Migrating to the cloud typically involves three phases: 1) Assess current state vs. target goals and define measurable KPIs; 2) Launch a pilot in a minimal viable scope, locking down processes, owners, and tools; 3) Adjust based on pilot data and gradually expand coverage. Maintain complete records throughout for review and audit purposes.

Common pitfalls: treating cloud migration as a one-time project without ongoing operations; setting overly broad metrics that make it impossible to gauge results; and overlooking compliance and data security boundaries. We recommend assigning an owner for each step and scheduling regular review checkpoints.
