I am sharing here imp tips you should consider before migrating to cloud environment which will help you decide if you should move to the cloud or not.
1. Flexibility and transferability: Check whether you can move between cloud providers. If you are allowed access to a specific provider after the app is deployed it may put restrictions on your ability to transfer to another cloud platform.
2. Upgrade costs. Check for different vendors & packages they are offering with detailed specifications. Speculate what are the costs and technical implications while upgrading your application.
3. First understand how in-demand is your website & how much downtime is acceptable for you.
4. Scalability: Confirm whether you are able to afford dynamic scalability and redundancy to the server parts of your application? If you cannot scale dynamically, avoid moving to cloud.
5. Security risks in the cloud: First of all, evaluate the vendor’s regulations & reputation. Then go ahead & understand security risks that can be revealed by making the client available from any system that is connected to the web.
6. What kind of control do you expect? If you want full control & willing to use all resources in a network, choose personal cloud.
