Cloud Is Always About Money

Sometimes the cloud saves money, but there are many other reasons cited for migrating to the cloud, the most common of which is for agility. The survey shows that cost savings account for only 14% of the reasons for organizations’ use of the public cloud. Saving money may end up one of the benefits, but it should not be taken for granted.

You Have to Be Cloud to Be Good

Some vendors practice “cloud washing” — the tendency to call things cloud whether they are or not. While some cloud washing is accidental and a result of legitimate confusion, we also see IT organizations call many things cloud as part of their efforts to gain funding and meet nebulous cloud demands and strategies.

Cloud Should Be Used for Everything

Unless there are cost savings, moving a legacy application that doesn’t change is not a good candidate. The cloud fits best where value is placed on flexibility and the business has the ability to consume and pay for only what is needed when needed.

Migrating to the Cloud Means You Automatically Get All

Cloud Characteristics

Cloud computing has unique attributes and characteristics. Many migrations to the cloud are “lift and shift” rehosting, or other movements that do not offer scalability and elasticity. Other types of cloud migration (refactoring and rewriting, for example) offer more characteristics. The most common use case for the cloud, however, is new applications.
