• Establish baseline metrics and measure delta changes against migration phases (per application, team, and workload).
• Monitor cloud spend and cost KPIs; analyze metrics and recommend optimization actions.
• Partner with cloud engineers to validate instrumentation, tagging, and telemetry needed to generate accurate metrics.
• Implement data quality best practices for migration metrics; perform regular audits and root-cause analyses of metric anomalies.
