A company is transitioning a set of legacy applications from their local data center to a cloud service provider. This is a singular occurrence with no additional migrations anticipated. Which strategy should they employ for this transition?
Automate the transition completely using event-driven functions to minimize manual intervention.
Leverage the service provider's console interface and custom scripting for the migration.
Develop a detailed IaC framework to control all deployment aspects.
Utilize third-party tools exclusively, avoiding direct interaction with the cloud provider's environment.
For a singular large-scale transition like the one described, a practical approach would entail using the cloud provider's web interface for resource configuration and employing custom scripts designed specifically for this migration task. Infrastructure as code (IaC) is valuable for ongoing, repetitive deployment tasks where the upfront investment in automation pays off over time through consistent and repeated use. However, IaC might not be warranted for a unique, non-recurring project where such an investment does not provide proportional returns in terms of efficiency and cost savings.
