After doing the discussion for this week and seeing the success story of how Netflix migrated its resources and services to the cloud, I decided to look up different reasons why and how cloud migration could fail. I found an article explaining the top ten reasons for cloud migration failure.
Insufficient Planning
The biggest reason for cloud migration failures is the failure to plan.
Lack of Expertise
Not having the skills and know-how can lead to problems with migrating the data over.
Compatibility Issues
There can be compatibility issues with legacy systems, which can lead to data loss.
Data Security Concerns
Data security can be a deterrent for many organizations.
Insufficient Test
Inadequate testing to see if any applications might not work with the migration and things of that sort can be a point of failure.
Overlooking Compliance Requirements
Not looking into the regulatory standards for storing sensitive data has led to legal consequences.
Poor Change Management Practices
Not easing the employees into the migration can lead to backlash and disrupt business operations.
Limited Visibility Into Cloud Costs
Exceeding their budget due to improper management of resources can be another cause.
Lack of Scalability
Making the migration too soon and not taking full advantage of the benefits provided by the cloud can lead to overprovisioning of resources.
Poor Post-Migration Management
Even if the migration was completed, not properly managing their cloud environment can lead to significant problems.
This article was fun, and I wanted to share this with everyone.
