CLOUD MIGRATION COST
Cloud migration costs range from $10,000 for simple lift-and-shift to $500,000+ for complex enterprise migrations. The investment typically pays for itself within 12-18 months through reduced infrastructure costs, improved scalability, and operational efficiency.

COST FACTORS
On-premise servers are more complex to migrate than existing cloud services. Legacy applications may need refactoring.
Zero-downtime migrations cost more but are essential for business-critical applications. Weekend migrations are cheaper.
HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC2, and GDPR compliance add cost but are non-negotiable for regulated industries.
Large databases (100GB+) require specialized migration tools and strategies. Data transfer costs can be significant.
Lift-and-shift is cheapest. Re-architecting for containers/serverless costs more upfront but saves significantly on ongoing costs.
