How to Estimate Cloud Migration Costs Before Moving a Workload

A server-size estimate misses storage growth, data transfer, managed services, backup retention, licensing, support, and the cost of running old and new environments together.

Checks to make

Collect usage over a representative period, identify data transfer paths, estimate storage and backup growth, map licensing, and include migration overlap and operational support. Model expected and peak usage, then compare the estimate with actuals during a pilot.
