Cloud Transformation

Most likely, your existing on-premise infrastructure isn’t compatible with the public cloud in terms of both data processing and the processes at hand. You should think about your cloud infrastructure design carefully before moving on to implementation.

No matter what your cloud provider says about guaranteeing security, you still have to maintain data encryption, antivirus, and secure web gateways for third-party integrations. Check every security protocol for your cloud provider before migrating to the cloud.

Modern cloud platforms require a unique and often lengthy learning curve to master them fully. Currently, there is a shortage of DevOps on the market and their services are expensive. Evaluate the optimal composition of your engineering team and their qualifications before starting your transformation.

Due to a lack of a complete cloud migration strategy, many companies are starting to migrate infrastructure to the cloud in chunks. This results in compromised security decisions and independent cloud services with no visibility or sharing options. After some time, you may realize that there is no way out of this impasse, or worse, the only way out is a costly one.

Developing cloud-native apps can be tricky as it’s possible to end up with no real way to re-deploy them onto a different cloud. Reconfiguring solutions built for a specific cloud is costly and comparable to developing from scratch. Migrating data from one cloud provider to a different one can be complex. It’s better to evaluate all these possibilities with your cloud provider in advance and develop apps that stand ready to move at any time.

It may seem obvious, but you’ll want to maintain constant access to your cloud solution. Whatever it may be, choose only the most reliable providers. It is not a good idea to save on a cloud provider because the reputation of your service depends on the stability of its operating capacity.
