The "Cloud" was supposed to be a utility. But for many businesses, it has turned into a "Digital Roach Motel." Your data goes in, but it never comes out—at least not without a fight and a massive "Egress Fee."
At Leapjuice, we believe that Data Portability is a fundamental right. We want you to stay with us because you love our performance, not because you’re too afraid to leave.
But first, you have to get here.
If you’re currently trapped in the "Big Three" (AWS, GCP, Azure), here is your tactical guide to a successful Legacy Cloud Exfiltration.
Phase 1: The Inventory (The "Sovereignty Gap" Audit)
Before you move a single byte, you need to know what you’re actually using.
- Identify Proprietary APIs: Are you using AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, or Google Cloud Run? These are "Sovereignty Traps." You’ll need to containerize these services (Docker) or move them to Open Source equivalents (Postgres, Redis).
- Audit Your Data: Where is your "State" stored? (S3 buckets, RDS databases, local volumes).
- Check the Ransom (Egress Fees): Look at your cloud bill. How much will it cost to move 1TB of data out of their network? (Pro-tip: Leapjuice can often help offset these costs).
Phase 2: The Bridge (The "n8n" Orchestrator)
We recommend using n8n as the "Migration Engine." You can set up an n8n workflow that:
- Connects to your legacy cloud's API.
- Triggers a database snapshot or an S3 sync.
- Encrypts the data and streams it to your Leapjuice Titanium storage.
- Verifies the checksum to ensure zero data loss.
This "Streaming" approach avoids the need for a massive, terrifying "Cutover Day." You move the data incrementally, in the background.
Phase 3: The Containerization (The "Docker" Shield)
The best way to ensure you never get trapped again is to Dockerize everything. If your application runs in a container, it doesn't care if it’s on AWS or Leapjuice. It’s portable. It’s sovereign.
At Leapjuice, our "One-Click" apps are all built on standard container protocols. We make it easy to import your existing Docker images and get them running on Zen 5 Bare Metal in minutes.
Phase 4: The DNS Handover (The "Anycast" Shift)
Once your data is synced and your containers are running on Leapjuice, it’s time for the final step: the DNS shift.
Because we use Anycast Networking, the shift is nearly instantaneous. You update your IP address on Cloudflare (or our native DNS), and your traffic starts flowing to the nearest Leapjuice node.
No downtime. No "Propagation" lag. Just a sudden, dramatic jump in performance.
Phase 5: The "Termination" Letter
The most satisfying part of the process. Once you’ve verified that your Leapjuice environment is stable and faster than your legacy setup, you hit "Delete" on your cloud console.
You just reclaimed your sovereignty. You just stopped paying the "Complexity Tax." You just gave your business a 10x performance boost.
Welcome to the Future of Infrastructure
Exfiltration is more than just a migration; it’s a declaration of independence.
Don't be a tenant. Be a sovereign. The tools are ready. The guide is here. Leapjuice is waiting.
