📖What it means
The moment work stops using the old thing and starts using the new one. Everything before it is preparation and everything after is cleanup; the cutover itself is the only irreversible step.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Deploy
A deploy ships a change; a cutover changes which system is authoritative.
Not: Migration
The migration is the whole journey; the cutover is one moment in it.
