How do we know if our business is ready to move to the cloud?
Cloud readiness depends on having a documented inventory of current applications and dependencies, reliable internet bandwidth, a clear data backup and security plan, and realistic expectations about migration costs beyond just compute and storage. Businesses with the highest success rates spend 6 to 12 months on readiness work before migrating.
The businesses that struggle with cloud migration almost always skipped the unglamorous readiness work — nobody wants to spend months documenting which applications depend on which servers before doing the "real" work of moving. But that documentation is what prevents the migration from breaking something nobody remembered was connected.
