Why it matters

After a few years, nearly every organisation that migrated discovers the same thing: the bill grows faster than the business. Not because the cloud is expensive, but because nobody switches off what is no longer used and nobody has the incentive to check.

I separate what moves for cost from what moves for capability. Migrating to save money almost never works; migrating to be able to do something you could not do before does. When the argument is only savings, it is worth checking the numbers again because they are usually incomplete.

What usually goes wrong

The mistake that repeats is not sizing egress traffic. The numbers get done on compute and storage, which are the visible ones, and the surprise arrives with data transfer. It is the line on the bill I have most often seen dismantle a well-built business case.

What to watch

  • How hard it would be to leave or move a piece to another provider, which is future negotiating power.
  • Who sees the bill and in what detail: with no owner for the spend, the spend grows on its own.
  • Where the data physically sits and what local regulation demands about that.

How I read this entry

I would read it thinking about the exit before the entry. Not because anyone plans to leave, but because the conversation about how you would leave is the one that reveals how much you are locking in. If nobody at the table can describe that path, the dependency is already deeper than they think.

The original story is published in another language; the excerpt is quoted as the publisher delivers it and the commentary is written in English.
