DEPLOYING EFFICIENT STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE SEAMLESS CLOUD MIGRATIONS THROUGH ADVANCED DEPLOYMENT AUTOMATIONS

This paper focuses on how it is possible to bring advanced automation to cloud migrations so as to produce maximal cohesion. It starts with a literature review of cloud migration and focuses on the various automation objectives that simplify security, performance, and operational issues that arise during migration. The study can be divided into how organizations have classified cloud migration strategies and covers trends that include DevOps and serverless architectures. The strategies described in the post range from pre- migration planning, to an extensive guide to automated testing, as well as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) ideas and CI/CD pipelines. Integration and security aspects are also analyzed in the paper and advantages and possible disadvantages of automation solutions are discussed. Finally, it seeks to help IT managers on how to use automation in improving the cloud migration procedures. Keywords - CI/CD pipelines, IaC, Kubetnetes
