Migrate workloads to the cloud with honest 6R triage, dependency mapping, and rehearsed cutovers with rollback. Use when planning a datacenter exit or moving systems between clouds.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Cloud migration Migrations fail on undiscovered dependencies and unrehearsed cutovers, not on the copying. Inventory first, move in dependency order, and never cut over anything you cannot cut back. ## Method 1. **Inventory before strategy.** Every application with: owner, criticality, data stores, inbound/outbound dependencies (from network flows and connection logs, not memory), compliance constraints, and licensing. The dependency map decides move groups; apps that chat constantly move together or suffer cross-premises latency. 2. **Triage with the 6Rs, honestly.** Rehost (lift-and-shift: fastest, deferred benefits), replatform (swap self-managed DB for managed: the usual sweet spot), refactor (rearchitect: only where the business case is explicit), repurchase (SaaS replaces it), retire (10-20% of any old estate; the cheapest R), retain (compliance or latency pins it). Default rehost/replatform under deadline; refactoring during migration doubles both risks. 3. **Land on a prepared foundation.** Accounts/projects, network (see cloud-networking), IAM baseline (see iam-design), logging, and …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/cloud-migration@sha256:c3736c20b6266d38The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260720.3c9eba4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
