Why it matters

After a few years, nearly every organisation that migrated discovers the same thing: the bill grows faster than the business. Not because the cloud is expensive, but because nobody switches off what is no longer used and nobody has the incentive to check.

I separate what moves for cost from what moves for capability. Migrating to save money almost never works; migrating to be able to do something you could not do before does. When the argument is only savings, it is worth checking the numbers again because they are usually incomplete.

What usually goes wrong

Where it usually breaks is team capability. The platform is new but people learned on the fly, with no time and no support. They end up replicating data-centre practices in the cloud, which means paying cloud prices for benefits that never arrive.

What to watch

  • Where the data physically sits and what local regulation demands about that.
  • What happens when the provider has an outage, because it will, and what keeps running meanwhile.
  • Three-year total cost with real growth, not the first-year promotion.

How I read this entry

What I would install alongside any move to the cloud is the discipline of switching things off. Tag everything by owner, review monthly what is running unused, and give somebody the authority to turn it off. Without that, waste eats the promised savings within two years.
