MYTHS

2. Cloud Is Always About Money

3. Sometimes the cloud saves money, but there are
many other reasons cited for migrating to the cloud,
the most common of which is for agility. The survey
shows that cost savings account for only 14% of the
reasons for organizations’ use of the public cloud.
Saving money may end up one of the benefits, but it
should not be taken for granted.

4. You Have to Be Cloud to Be Good

5. Some vendors practice “cloud washing” — the
tendency to call things cloud whether they are or
not. While some cloud washing is accidental and a
result of legitimate confusion, we also see IT
organizations call many things cloud as part of their
efforts to gain funding and meet nebulous cloud
demands and strategies.

6. Cloud Should Be Used for
Everything

7. Unless there are cost savings, moving a legacy
application that doesn’t change is not a good
candidate. The cloud fits best where value is placed
on flexibility and the business has the ability to
consume and pay for only what is needed when
needed.

8. Migrating to the Cloud Means You
Automatically Get All Cloud
Characteristics

9. Cloud computing has unique attributes and
characteristics. Many migrations to the cloud are
“lift and shift” rehosting, or other movements that
do not offer scalability and elasticity. Other types of
cloud migration (refactoring and rewriting, for
example) offer more characteristics. The most
common use case for the cloud, however,
is new applications.

10. Cloud = Data Centre

11. Most cloud decisions are not (and should not be)
about completely shutting down data centres and
moving everything to the cloud. In general, data
centre outsourcing, data centre modernization and
data centre strategies are related to, but not
synonymous with the cloud.
