Most teams think security is the cloud provider's job after migration. That's wrong. Here's how we actually handle security and compliance during a mi...
The belief that migrating to the cloud automatically cuts costs is wrong. I argue that cost optimization only happens if you treat it as an ongoing di...
The shared responsibility model splits security duties between you and your provider. Most teams get it wrong, leaving data exposed.
Refactoring every app during migration is a trap. For most workloads, rehosting first and modernizing later is faster, cheaper, and safer.
I debunk the myth that cloud providers handle all security. The shared responsibility model means you still own your data, access, and compliance—here...
Despite the hype around 'lift and shift,' replatforming or refactoring often saves money and avoids technical debt. Here's why your next migration sho...
Security in cloud migration isn't about buying tools—it's about owning your part of the shared responsibility model. Here's how to make that real.
Don't default to lift-and-shift. For most teams, replatforming offers the best speed-to-benefit ratio. Here's the head-to-head comparison.
Moving workloads to the cloud is risky if you ignore security and compliance. This practical guide walks you through a secure migration process, from ...
Lift-and-shift is fast but can inflate long-term cloud bills. We debunk common migration cost myths and show why FinOps and right-sizing are your real...
The rush to lift-and-shift often undercuts real cloud value. Case studies and migration data show replatforming hits the sweet spot between speed and ...
Lift-and-shift may feel safe, but it leaves legacy vulnerabilities in the cloud. I argue that refactoring for security early is the only defensible mi...
