Debunking common myths about the cloud.

Attached is another good article from McKinsey debunking seven common myths about cloud.

Key takeaways:

  1. “ultimate reason to move to cloud should be the business benefits rather than IT efficiencies”
  2. “Companies that define the correct policies, adopt a secure DevSecOps operating model, and train or hire the right talent can actually achieve safer operations in their cloud environments than on-premises”
  3. You still need infrastructure teams even with Cloud.. “Having no infrastructure team at all would wreak havoc on an organization’s ability to manage and benefit from cloud”
  4. Companies need to adopt one business domain at a time migration strategy; rather than moving application-by-application approach.
  5. Companies are better off when they adopt a combination of “lift and shift” and “refactoring” strategy for application migration.
