⦿ Planning: Identifying the scope of the migration, assessing the current state of the application, and defining the target environment.

⦿ Preparation: Gathering necessary resources, including hardware, software, and personnel, and setting up the target environment.

⦿ Migration: Transferring the application, its data, and any associated dependencies to the target environment. This may involve re-architecting the application to meet the requirements of the new environment, or modifying the application to take advantage of new features or capabilities.

⦿ Testing: Ensuring that the application is functioning properly in the new environment, and fixing any issues that are identified.

⦿ Deployment: Making the migrated application available to users in the new environment.

⦿ There are some tools and services available to assist with the process of migrating an application.
