The unprecedented increase in digital infrastructures and the world's connectivity through the internet has compelled organizations to migrate away from their legacy systems to scalable, cloud network environments and software-defined network environments. Among the most challenging issues of this evolution is managing the changes in the global network migrations and the IPv4 externalization challenges that influence the scalability, security, and the ability to take action. This paper describes the technical, operational, and risk management issues behind the large-scale network migrations in multi-region environments. It emphasizes the effect of IPv4 depletion, addresses translation schemes, and discusses hybrid deployment designs on performance and sustainability. The paper also discusses the newer approaches, including IPv6, Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and Zero-Trust network architectures, as the key facilitators of safe and scalable migrations. With the combination of case studies and simulation-based information, the paper has provided a balanced model that organizations can embrace to reduce migration risks and enhance the use of resources and interoperability across networks. Finally, the paper highlights the necessity of an intermediate solution that combines IPv4 externalization control and IPv6 scalability to achieve a smooth connection and reduce downtime in a massive deployment.
