Migration from Traditional Infrastructure

Migration from Traditional Infrastructure to Architecture as Code (Architecture as Code) requires systematic planering, stegvis Architecture as Code-implementation and continuous validation. Diagram shows The Structureerade processen from assessment to complete Architecture as Code-adoption.
Overall Description
Migration from traditional, manuellt konfigurerad infrastructure to Architecture as Code represents a of the most critical transformationerna for modern IT-organisationer. This process requires not endast technical omStructureering without also organisatorisk change and cultural anpassning to code-based way of working.
European organisations face unique migreringsChallenges through legacy-systems as developed over decennier, regulatory requirements as begränsar forändringstakt, and need of to balance innovation with operational stability. Successful migration requires comprehensive planning as minimizes risker while The enables snabb value realization.
Modern migrationsstrategier must accommodera hybrid scenarios where legacy infrastructure coexisterar with Architecture as Code-managed resources under extended transition periods. This hybrid approach enables gradual migration as reduces business risk while the enables imwithiate benefits from Architecture as Code adoption.
Cloud-native migration pathways offers opportuniteter to modernisera architecture while infrastructure management are codified. European companies can leverage This transformation to implement sustainability initiatives, improve cost efficiency and enhance security posture through systematic Architecture as Code adoption.
Assessment and planning faser
Comprehensive infrastructure assessment forms foundationen for successful Architecture as Code migration. This includes inventory of existing resources, dependency mapping, risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis as informerar migration strategy and timeline planning.
Discovery automation tools that AWS Application Discovery Service, Azure Migrate and Google Cloud migration tools can accelerate assessment processen through automated resource inventory and dependency detection. These tools genererar data as can inform Architecture as Code template generation and migration prioritization.
Risk assessment must identify critical systems, single points of failure and compliance dependencies as affects migration approach. European financial institutions and healthcare organisations must particularly consider regulatory implications and downtime restrictions as affects migration windows.
Migration wave planning balancerar technical dependencies with business priorities to minimize risk and maximize value realization. Pilot projects with non-critical systems enables team learning and process refinement before critical systems migration påbörjas.
Lift-and-shift vs re-architecting
| Migration Strategy | Description | Benefits | Challenges | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lift-and-shift | Direct migration to cloud with minimal changes | Fastest time to cloud, lower initial cost, minimal application changes | Limited cloud-native benefits, may require follow-up optimisation, higher long-term operational costs | Applications with tight timelines, limited modernisation budget, compliance-driven moves |
| Re-architecting | Complete redesign for cloud-native patterns | Maximum cloud value, improved scalability and resilience, cost optimisation, innovation enablement | Highest initial investment, longest timeline, requires deep cloud expertise | Strategic applications, high business value systems, global expansion needs |
| Lift-and-improve (Hybrid) | Selective re-architecting of critical components while keeping most unchanged | Balances speed-to-market with modernisation, immediate cloud benefits, iterative improvement path | Complexity in managing hybrid architecture, requires careful component selection | Phased modernisation, risk-balanced approach, majority of enterprise migrations |
| Application retirement | Remove legacy applications with limited business value | Reduces migration scope, eliminates maintenance costs, simplifies portfolio | Requires business stakeholder alignment, data archival strategy | Low-value legacy applications, redundant systems, end-of-life software |
Gradual kodifiering of infrastruktur
Infrastructure inventory automation through tools that Terraform import, CloudFormation drift detection and Azure Resource Manager templates enables systematic conversion of existing resources to Architecture as Code management. Automated discovery can generate initial Architecture as Code configurations as require refinement but accelerate kodification process.
Template standardisation through reusable modules and organisational patterns ensures consistency across migrated infrastructure while the reduces future maintenance overhead. European government agencies have successfully implemented standardized Architecture as Code templates for common infrastructure patterns across different departments.
Configuration drift elimination through Architecture as Code adoption requires systematic reconciliation between existing resource configurations and desired Architecture as Code state. Gradual enforcement of Architecture as Code-managed configuration ensures infrastructure stability while the eliminates manual configuration inconsistencies.
Version control integration for infrastructure changes enables systematic tracking of migration progress samt provides rollback capabilities for problematic changes. Git-based workflows for infrastructure management etablishes foundation for collaborative infrastructure development and operational transparency.
Team transition and competence development
Skills development programs must prepare traditional systems administrators and network engineers for Architecture as Code-based workflows. Training curricula should encompass Infrastructure as Code tools, cloud platforms, DevOps practices and automation scripting for comprehensive capability development.
Organisational structure evolution from traditional silos to cross-functional teams enables effective Architecture as Code adoption. European telecommunications companies have successfully transitioned from separate development and operations teams to integrated DevOps teams as manage architecture as code.
Cultural transformation from manual processes to automated workflows requires change management programs as address resistance and promotes automation adoption. Success stories from early adopters can motivate broader organisational acceptance of Architecture as Code practices.
Mentorship programs pairing experienced cloud engineers with traditional infrastructure teams accelerates knowledge transfer and reduces adoption friction. External consulting support can supplement internal capabilities during initial migration phases for complex enterprise environments.

Summary
The modern Architecture as Code methodology represents the future of infrastructure management for global organisations. Migration from traditional infrastructure to Architecture as Code requires systematic planning, gradual implementation, and comprehensive testing. Organisations that successfully execute this migration position themselves for increased agility, improved security, and significant cost benefits.
Success factors include comprehensive assessment, realistic timeline planning, extensive team training, and robust testing frameworks. Hybrid migration strategies enable risk minimisation whilst delivering immediate value from Architecture as Code adoption.
Investment in proper migration planning and execution results in long-term benefits through improved operational efficiency, enhanced security posture, and reduced technical debt. Organisations that follow systematic migration approaches can expect successful transformation to modern, Architecture as Code-based infrastructure management.
Bridging Technical and Organisational Change
Technical migration success depends fundamentally on organisational readiness. The most sophisticated automation pipelines, testing frameworks, and migration strategies fail without the cultural foundations, team structures, and leadership practices that enable people to thrive in code-based delivery environments.
Part E examines the organisational transformation that must accompany technical change. Chapter 17 on Organisational Change explores how teams evolve from siloed functions to cross-functional collaboration. Chapter 18 on Team Structure provides concrete patterns for organising teams around Architecture as Code practices. The subsequent chapters demonstrate how management practices, AI-enabled collaboration, and digitalisation strategies complete the transformation from traditional to code-centric operating models.
