Cloud migration pitfalls

โŒ 1. No Clear Strategy

Many businesses jump into the cloud without a clear roadmap, leading to fragmented implementations and cost overruns.

Fix: Start with a Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) from AWS or Azure. Define your business objectives first.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Establish a clear timeline and assign ownership for each migration phase to avoid confusion.


๐Ÿ” 2. Underestimating Change Management

Cloud migration often requires changes in roles, processes, and culture.

Fix: Train your teams early. Involve stakeholders. Communicate change clearly.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Use change champions within teams to facilitate smoother transitions and feedback loops.


๐Ÿ’ธ 3. Ignoring Cost Optimization

Without proper configuration, cloud bills can spiral out of control.

Fix: Use tools like AWS Cost Explorer, compute savings plans, and auto-scaling.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Add periodic reviews to your cloud cost reports. A small oversight can cost thousands over time.


๐Ÿ“ˆ Make Your Migration a Success

  • โœ… Run a readiness assessment before starting
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Define KPIs and measure continuously
  • ๐ŸŽฏ Choose the right cloud services, not the most popular ones
