Part 6: Cloud Exit Scenarios¶
This section provides comprehensive guidance on cloud exit—the journey of moving workloads from Azure public cloud to on-premises Azure Local infrastructure. You'll learn how to assess workload readiness, execute a phased migration through connected hybrid first, then progress to fully disconnected sovereign operation. The section covers data migration strategies, operational continuity practices, and risk mitigation throughout the transition.
What You'll Learn¶
- How to assess workloads for cloud exit readiness and complexity
- The three-stage migration path: public cloud → hybrid connected → fully disconnected
- Data migration strategies including cutover timing and validation
- How to maintain operational continuity during transitions
- Risk management and rollback strategies
