If until recently migration to the cloud was optional, nowadays, it has become almost mandatory for companies wishing to make their processes more fluid and maintain their market competitiveness.
After all, when an organization frees itself from the limitations of a local infrastructure and starts to host systems and store information in cloud environments, it ensures more agility, productivity, automation, and cost reduction.
But, just like any other type of transition, migrating to the cloud also requires some care.
To help you invest in a truly advantageous solution, in today's article, we, the CodeBlog team, present the 5 common mistakes companies make during cloud implementation and some valuable tips to avoid them.

Read on and check it out!

5 common mistakes companies make during cloud implementation:

1. Limiting cloud investment solely to IT

Contrary to what many entrepreneurs think, the cloud is not just a resource to improve IT workflows and processes. This solution goes far beyond that and should be seen as a path for growth and development for the organization as a whole.
After all, the cloud integrates all areas, optimizes the time of all departments, and also contributes to making infrastructure expenses more predictable.

2. Not training the employee team

To ensure that all the features of the cloud are properly utilized, it is beneficial for the entire team to be immersed in and master the cloud environment.
Therefore, it is fundamental that everyone is previously trained to understand how the tools work. In addition, it is also recommended to offer an adaptation period so that the team can get used to the transition and align processes with the application of the technology.

#CodeBitTip: Establish an organizational culture focused on innovation in order to break potential objections and overcome employee resistance regarding technological tools. Propose constant meetings and training to present the importance and benefits of the cloud, thereby encouraging the use of technology in daily business activities.

3. Believing that everything can be migrated to the cloud

As much as cloud environments have progressed significantly recently, there are still applications that cannot be stored in the cloud. This is because some of them may present technical restrictions, such as specific hardware or software requirements, or even security and compliance standards that make their migration to the cloud unfeasible. Therefore, it is fundamental to conduct research to identify cases in which migration is truly viable and beneficial, to avoid potential losses in process development, user experience, and financial results.

4. Improper sizing of contracted resources

One of the greatest benefits provided by the cloud is the possibility of customizing resources according to the demands of a business. Precisely for this reason, companies of the most diverse niches and sizes can use the service and configure it according to their internal needs.
When choosing to migrate to the cloud, it is important to perform a prior evaluation in order to identify which resources and features should be contracted so the service works strategically together with the internal environment. This way, it is possible to act in advance and reduce the time required for the solution to be fully integrated into work processes. Additionally, adjustments will be minor, and the return on investment will be faster.

5. Thinking that planning ends with hiring the cloud provider

Although cloud computing providers offer a wide range of resources and tools, it is important to recognize that the journey to the cloud is not limited only to contracting the service.
We at CodeBit, for example, offer complete solutions that go beyond providing resources. We provide specialized support and assist in the entire migration process, from designing the most appropriate strategy to defining and managing goals and objectives.
However, it is fundamental to understand that cloud migration involves a continuous and dynamic process that requires comprehensive planning and a partnership with specialized providers.

Migrate to the cloud without mistakes! Count on CodeBit's CloudOps Review.

To optimize the migration process and avoid failures, it is essential to perform a complete diagnosis of the AWS cloud account, adjust DevOps pipelines, repositories, users, logs, backups, and execute monitoring to ensure compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (LGPD).

With this in mind, we at CodeBit developed the CloudOps Review, a solution that offers:

• Bill savings and cashback:

By contracting our product, you automatically become eligible for our cashback. Frequently, this discount is enough to pay for our work and still generates a reduction in the overall bill.

• Partnership with AWS:

We are AWS partners, and because of this, we get discounts on bills under our umbrella, which can reach up to 17% monthly.

• Testing and evaluations:

We perform vulnerability and load testing, as well as a comprehensive evaluation of the existing architecture.
This allows us to identify points of attention and potential improvements, especially regarding security and costs.
