SYNCHRONOUS REPLICATION BASED CUTOVER ENGINE

Techniques are provided for synchronous replication based cutover. An asynchronous replication process is executed to perform asynchronous incremental transfers of data of a storage object from a first computing environment to a replicated storage object at a second computing environment until a cutover criteria is met. A synchronous replication process is executed to synchronously replicate operations, targeting the storage object, to the replicated storage object based upon the cutover criteria being met. A cutover is performed to direct operations from targeting the storage object to targeting the replicated storage object based upon the synchronous replication process reaching a steady state of synchronous replication for sub-objects of the storage object, where operations are committed to both the storage object and the replicated storage object.
