Inside the guide

A shared framework for the next cloud decision

Move from a cost concern to a comparison your decision owners can review. The guide covers unit economics, workload fit, responsibility, full lifecycle costs, and a practical sequence for gathering evidence.

It considers optimization, retaining the current design, and feasible alternatives. Financial examples are hypothetical, and complex projects may need more than 30 days.
