Cloud adoption is a business and operating decision—not only a hosting decision.
The cloud can improve flexibility, access and resilience, but a rushed migration can move old problems into a new environment. Readiness starts with a clear view of your needs.
What outcome are you pursuing?
Define whether the priority is remote access, faster deployment, better recovery, lower infrastructure burden or something else. The objective shapes the right architecture.
Which workloads belong there?
Assess application dependencies, performance requirements, data sensitivity and integration needs. Some systems can move easily; others require redesign or may remain better suited to local infrastructure.
Is connectivity dependable?
Cloud services depend on reliable internet access. Review capacity, redundancy and what the team should do during a connectivity interruption.
Who will govern the environment?
Clarify account ownership, access policies, cost monitoring, backup, incident response and vendor management before migration.
