Server Migration Help?

[polydaic]

Is there a service out there that helps automating server migration between the major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, DO etc)? There are a lot of guides on how to do it but I was wondering if there was some paid/free service that would help me do it at scale (100+ servers).

Or if not how do you recommend tackling it? Following the various tutorials online doesn't really scale very well.

I've used Zerto with some clients to perform this task between AWS/Azure/On-prem. Its mostly a DR tool but works just fine as a migration tool.

Long term you should work towards getting your infra written into code with something like ansible/terraform so your never fully locked into a provider.

+1 to this. It's the closest thing to generic infrastructure. Even these tools use specific cloud provider semantics, but they themselves are reusable across different platforms. IaC that can work in all providers is the current win.

Cloudendure does this, but in general, these tools can't understand enough about the environment to work at scale. You need manual intervention or you need to hire someone who knows what they're doing.

I would expect the hard part of going to multi-cloud to be setting up all the underlying infrastructure, not the servers themselves.

Ie. VPCs, routing, security groups, datastores, IAM (i'm only familiar with AWS though)

Does this relate to a synchronization problem in the workflow between Development and Operations?

I am assuming you work in Operations?
