Cloud assessment & roadmap
Understand the environment, workload dependencies and target outcomes before deciding what should move.
- Workload inventory
- Dependency review
- Target-state roadmap
Cloud Migration & DevOps
Do not move a workload until you know who will run it on Monday morning.
ADR Group supports cloud assessment, migration planning, deployment automation, monitoring, security and cost management. We treat the target operating model as part of the migration—not as a task to solve after cutover.
Cloud operating modelAssess → Migrate → Automate → Observe → OptimiseDesign the target environment together with the migration path.
Cloud capabilities
Migration and day-two operations belong in the same plan.
The target architecture depends on current workloads, continuity needs, security, data, integrations and the team that will operate the environment.
Migration planning
Define migration waves, data movement, validation, rollback and readiness requirements.
- Migration strategy
- Wave planning
- Validation & transition
CI/CD & infrastructure automation
Reduce manual deployment and configuration work through repeatable practices.
- Build & release pipelines
- Infrastructure as code
- Environment consistency
Observability
Define logs, metrics, alerts and operational ownership for diagnosis.
- Logging
- Metrics & alerts
- Dashboards
Cloud security
Consider identity, permissions, network exposure and configuration in the cloud design.
- IAM review
- Hardening
- Security logging
Cost awareness
Make workload usage and infrastructure cost visible for optimisation decisions.
- Usage visibility
- Resource review
- Ownership awareness
Migration lifecycle
Cloud migration works best as a sequence of controlled decisions.
Staging the work makes dependencies and rollback options clearer.
Inventory
Workloads, data and dependencies.
Target architecture
Network, identity, data and operations.
Move
Execute waves with validation and rollback.
Stabilise
Monitor and resolve migration issues.
Optimise
Refine reliability, security and cost.
Operating discipline
DevOps is not just a collection of tools.
Automation is useful when teams also know who owns environments, how changes are reviewed and what happens when a deployment fails.
DeliveryRepeatable build, test and deployment practices reduce manual variation.
ReliabilityObservability and ownership make production behaviour easier to diagnose.
GovernanceAccess, change controls and cost visibility belong in the operating model.
Cloud requirement
Which workload or operating problem are you trying to change?
Map the current environment, the target platform if one has been chosen, workload dependencies, security constraints and the timeline already in play.
