•  a) Assess Workload Readiness
• Identify workloads suited for cloud (e.g., DR, analytics, backup)
• Use tools like Azure Migrate or AWS Migration Hub
  
  

✅ b) Use Consistent Security Policies

• Use same firewall rules across environments (e.g., Fortinet HA on-prem + FortiGate VM on Azure)
• Integrate with identity providers (Azure AD, Okta) for access control
  
  

✅ c) Ensure Network Reliability

• Use VPN or dedicated connectivity (e.g., AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute)
• Deploy redundant WAN paths via SD-WAN for remote site access
  
  

✅ d) Leverage Unified Management Tools

• Azure Arc, AWS Outposts, or GCP Anthos for single-pane management
• Monitor via SIEM (e.g., Azure Sentinel, FortiSIEM)
  
  

✅ e) Automate Backups & Disaster Recovery

• Use cloud-native tools like Azure Backup, Veeam, or AWS Backup
• Automate DR failover with RTO/RPO aligned to business needs
