Migrating to the cloud presents several challenges including lack of visibility over cloud resources, not understanding the full scope of cloud environments, and risks of data leaks and losses. Other challenges include being stuck on inefficient services, price increases from providers, and difficulty identifying services that meet business needs. Performing a thorough pre-migration assessment can help understand scalability, pricing, infrastructure changes, and data migration needs to develop a clear cloud migration plan and strategy.
