Cloud Migration lessons from the front line

Cloud is an abused term, like agile, DevOps and web. The reality in the Cloud paradigm is that you can no longer touch (or lock away) your physical assets that provide digital services to your organisation, raises many questions; but the reality is that they’re probably more physically secure in the Public Cloud than they previously were. The only responsibility you have now is the logical configuration and access control to your information.

Lessons from the front line recaps the learnings we have seen taking customers on the cloud migration journey over the last half a decade or more, here in Western Australia. Some of these lessons are technical, but most of them are non-technical governance, risk mitigation and compliance related. 

Speaker: James Bromberger, National Cloud Lead and Consulting Director, Modis
