You should probably start engaging with
the idea that the cloud can be
considerably more secure than the
private cloud or your own data centre,
and start engaging with the risks that are
building in the spaces where you haven't
moved to the cloud yet.

8. Some Canadian public sector customer experiences
“Our operating costs (around $1M a year) went down to a few
thousand dollars equivalent for AWS. It’s orders of magnitude less
than what we were operating.”
Within only three months, they had achieved over 75 percent
savings, they had over 200 user accounts, two million inquiries, and
a privacy-by-design framework.
By shifting the website to the AWS Cloud, the site stopped going down,
the organization had a disaster-recovery solution and autoscaling
capabilities, all without requiring an expensive infrastructure purchase.
“Using AWS, we can spin up dev and test environments in minutes,
instead of the weeks it would take to set up infrastructure before. As a
result, we can try new things faster and with far less money and effort.”

9. Sounds great. How do we get there?

10. Migration projects can be challenging
 Performance and relationship of migrating application
 Current (on premises) infrastructure
 Amounts of data to be migrated
 Bandwidth and networking constraints
 Impacts to current operational processes
 Stakeholder engagement
 Embedded tribal knowledge, people, and culture issues
 Regulations, policy, and security implications
The highest risk has been in a stalled project or a false start
…these can set a cloud program back by months, even years.
