FILE SYSTEM OPERATION HANDLING DURING CUTOVER AND STEADY STATE

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.
