Data sovereignty & Security
Application Scale & flexibility
Latency/SLA sensitivity
Experimental workloads
“Less than half of organizations actively optimize
workload configurations today, and are therefore likely
not effectively rightsizing workloads in public or private
clouds.”

11. Know What’s Under the Hood in Public
Top considerations when moving to the cloud
• Security & Networking
• What tools and services does the CSP provide to help me secure my data and workloads? What are my responsibilities for
security?
• If required, does the CSP offer services that enable integration with enterprise capabilities (i.e. Identity, IPAM, DNS)?
• Performance
• Do the CSP offerings meet the performance requirements of my workloads?
• Do I have the ability to select and tune offerings across multiple performance parameters (IOPs, CPU, Network)?
• Does the CSP have the locations and services to address latency concerns for your application users?
• Cost
• Does the CSP’s offerings include robust elasticity and scaling?
• How extensive are the cost optimization features of the CSP and 3rd party ecosystem?
• How effectively can lock-in be managed with this provider (i.e. data and workload portability)?
