In The Matrix, Neo is offered the choice between a red pill and a blue pill by rebel leader Morpheus. The red pill represents an uncertain future — it would allow him to escape into the real world, but living the “truth of reality” is harsher and more difficult.

On the other hand, the blue pill represents a beautiful prison — it would lead him back to ignorance, living in confined comfort without want or fear within the Matrix.

Companies commencing their cloud journey are facing the same conundrum. Do they take the red or the blue pill approach to Cloud adoption?
