Cloudflare Migration
We plan and execute migrations from Akamai, Imperva, F5, AWS CloudFront, AWS WAF, AWS Shield and other platforms to Cloudflare. We map existing rules and policies, test traffic and manage a controlled cutover with minimal impact on service availability.
Migrate to Cloudflare without compromising security or availability
Moving to Cloudflare involves more than changing DNS configuration. We assess the existing architecture, dependencies, security policies and traffic-handling model before designing a target environment based on the appropriate Cloudflare services.
We migrate customers from platforms including Akamai, Imperva and F5, as well as AWS services such as CloudFront, AWS WAF and AWS Shield. The migration can include WAF rules, DDoS protection, bot-management controls, caching configuration, certificates, routing, access policies and integrations with customer systems.
Migrations are delivered in controlled stages. Before the production cutover, we test application behavior and security controls, prepare a rollback plan and agree on the migration window. After launch, we monitor traffic, optimize the configuration and address differences between Cloudflare and the previous platform.
