Cloud migration is the process of migrating applications, VMs, database either public, private or on-premise to cloud. Migrating your data from one cloud to another cloud sometimes leads you with messy steps. Say, for example, AWS cloud provides the services which lead to consumption and increased billing. The best option here is to migrate it to Alibaba cloud.

The general goal or benefit of any cloud migration is to host applications and data in the most effective IT environment possible, based on factors such as cost, performance and security.

For example, many organizations perform the migration of on-premises applications and data from their local data center to public cloud infrastructure to take advantage of benefits such as greater elasticity, self-service provisioning, redundancy and a flexible, pay-per-use model.
