That's interesting, because hosting anything in the cloud is usually way more expensive than on prem. We just pulled a large number of our systems back out of gcp because of it.
Well that was my point, moving to the cloud requires drastic changes in the way your infra works. You cannot have full fledged VMs running at 10% of capacity 95% of the time like you do on prem. You need to be able to scale up and down on a whim with containers/micro services/whatever you call it. I've worked with a lot of companies that never understood that and bitterly regretted moving to the cloud.
Yup. I’ve seen companies that wanted to “get to the cloud” and didn’t want to spend any money on redeveloping their systems so it turned into a lift-and-shift which just drove their costs up.
Hey hey my company is doing exactly this right now
"Get EVERYTHING OFF PREM. SEND ALL OF IT TO GCP NOW"
