3 Steps to Seamless Sky Computing Migration

3 Steps to Seamless Sky Computing Migration

In today's fast-paced cloud environment, businesses are constantly searching for ways to enhance flexibility, improve efficiency, and reduce reliance on single cloud vendors. That’s where Sky Computing comes in—a groundbreaking approach designed to unlock the true potential of multi-cloud strategies. In this post, we’ll walk you through the 3-step process to migrate your business to Sky Computing, giving you the power to manage your cloud resources on your terms.



Step 1: Establish Your Sky Zone


The first step in your migration is creating what we call the Sky Zone. This involves deploying the Sky Computing Layer on your existing AWS or Azure cloud infrastructure. Instead of overhauling or rewriting your existing applications, you simply deploy a Sky Node, which serves as the entry point into the Sky Computing ecosystem.

The beauty of this step is that you don't need to touch any application code. The apps are proxied through the Sky Layer, seamlessly connecting to your underlying AWS or Azure services. With this setup in place, you've taken the first step towards unlocking multi-cloud potential.


Step 2: Analyze and Migrate Common Processes


Once the Sky Zone is established, it's time to dive deeper. In this phase, we focus on the analysis of common processes running within your cloud infrastructure. These common processes are the ideal candidates for migration to the Sky Computing layer.

Through thorough analysis, we identify processes that can run natively within the Sky Layer—independent of the specific cloud vendor. Afterward, we craft a detailed migration plan, coding and moving these processes into the Sky Layer. The goal? Optimize efficiency, reduce dependence on any single provider, and create a more resilient and scalable infrastructure.


Step 3: Unify and Expand


The final step in your journey to Sky Computing is unification. Once the common processes have been successfully migrated, the Sky Computing layer becomes the home for all your standard services. The only processes left running directly on AWS or Azure are those that are unique and cannot be moved due to technical or business constraints. These remain as proxied services within the Sky Zone.

At this point, your migration is complete. With all common processes unified in Sky Computing, your cloud infrastructure is no longer bound to one vendor. The system is ready for expansion—whether that means integrating additional cloud vendors to spread your resources or scaling to meet new demands.

Conclusion: Your Cloud, Your Choice

Migrating to Sky Computing means taking control of your cloud infrastructure, opening the door to true multi-cloud freedom. By following these three steps—establishing the Sky Zone, analyzing common processes, and unifying them in the Sky Computing layer—you can transform how your business operates in the cloud. And once the migration is complete, adding new cloud vendors is a breeze, giving you unparalleled flexibility and scalability.
