Overview of this book

In today's rapidly evolving world of DevOps, traditional silos are a thing of the past. Database administrators are no longer the only experts; site reliability engineers (SREs) and DevOps engineers are database experts as well. This blurring of the lines has led to increased responsibilities, making members of high-performing DevOps teams responsible for end-to-end ownership. This book helps you master DevOps for databases, making it a must-have resource for achieving success in the ever-changing world of DevOps. You’ll begin by exploring real-world examples of DevOps implementation and its significance in modern data-persistent technologies, before progressing into the various types of database technologies and recognizing their strengths, weaknesses, and commonalities. As you advance, the chapters will teach you about design, implementation, testing, and operations using practical examples, as well as common design patterns, combining them with tooling, technology, and strategies for different types of data-persistent technologies. You’ll also learn how to create complex end-to-end implementation, deployment, and cloud infrastructure strategies defined as code. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to design, build, and operate complex systems efficiently.

Summary

In this chapter, we delved deeply into the intricate subject of cloud migration. We began by defining what cloud migration is and explained why an ever-growing number of companies have been making the strategic move to the cloud. We established that it’s not merely a tech buzzword but rather an essential move for achieving cost efficiency, scalability, and business continuity.

We then journeyed through key milestones that typically mark a cloud migration path, providing guideposts for businesses to chart their own robust roadmaps. Each milestone was accompanied by its own set of tasks, expectations, and potential roadblocks, furnishing a comprehensive overview of what companies could anticipate.

We also outlined the different types of cloud migrations, ranging from lifting and shifting applications to the cloud to complete application refactoring. We emphasized that these categories aren’t one-size-fits-all solutions, urging the importance of understanding...
