HCSP-Cloud Migration study guide
HCSP-Cloud Migration · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
HCSP-Cloud Migration is a Huawei specialist-level certification aimed at engineers who plan and execute moves of applications, data, and infrastructure onto Huawei Cloud. It suits cloud architects, migration engineers, database administrators, and delivery consultants who already know core cloud concepts and now need to run structured migration projects end to end. The HCSP-Cloud Migration study guide has 7 sections and about 2,188 words.
01Cloud Migration Overview and Methodology
This domain tests whether you can treat cloud migration as a portfolio program rather than a server move. You need the vocabulary of drivers, the 6R disposition model, phase gates, and the link from business case to cutover and operations.
351 words, about 2 min02Migration Assessment and Planning
This domain examines discovery, dependency analysis, readiness, total cost of ownership, risk, and wave planning. The exam expects evidence-based decisions: an application is not ready because a sponsor says so, but because dependencies, skills, data, and operating model are understood.
337 words, about 2 min03Application and Workload Migration
This domain tests execution choices for applications and workloads: suitability, rehost versus replatform versus refactor, state handling, testing, and licensing. The exam focuses on whether a workload can run acceptably in the target platform, not whether it can be copied.
314 words, about 2 min04Data and Database Migration
This domain covers data and database migration: classification, movement methods, schema conversion, validation, cutover, and rollback. The exam tests consistency and recoverability, not just copy speed.
303 words, about 2 min05Infrastructure and Platform Migration
This domain covers landing zones, network, identity, compute, storage, and platform services. The exam tests whether the target environment is secure, repeatable, and operable before workloads arrive.
283 words, about 1 min06Migration Implementation, Cutover, and Validation
This domain tests implementation, cutover, and validation: runbooks, rehearsal, freeze periods, DNS and traffic switching, smoke tests, hypercare, and rollback. The exam rewards controlled change over heroic execution.
295 words, about 1 min07Operations, Optimization, and Governance After Migration
This domain covers operations, optimization, and governance after cutover: monitoring, cost management, security posture, patching, backup, disaster recovery, service levels, and decommissioning. The exam tests whether migration benefits are sustained.
