We outline some basic considerations and cloud comparisons, as well as best practices for how to integrate and manage these complex deployments.

Most enterprise IT departments now manage applications across multiple environments in a dizzyingly complex overall IT architecture. They also must constantly reevaluate their unique mix of on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud infrastructure to meet new business goals and determine how applications can be migrated to the public cloud in a cost-effective way.

This is no small feat. Dozens or even hundreds of applications built at different times, in different languages, and by different teams need to be evaluated for migration to the cloud. It requires deep knowledge of the existing IT infrastructure as well as the public cloud resources that could replace these functions.
