Know What’s Under the Hood in Public
Top considerations when moving to the cloud

• Security & Networking

• What tools and services does the CSP provide to help me secure my data and workloads? What are my responsibilities for
security?
• If required, does the CSP offer services that enable integration with enterprise capabilities (i.e. Identity, IPAM, DNS)?
• Performance
• Do the CSP offerings meet the performance requirements of my workloads?
• Do I have the ability to select and tune offerings across multiple performance parameters (IOPs, CPU, Network)?
• Does the CSP have the locations and services to address latency concerns for your application users?
• Cost
• Does the CSP’s offerings include robust elasticity and scaling?
• How extensive are the cost optimization features of the CSP and 3rd party ecosystem?
• How effectively can lock-in be managed with this provider (i.e. data and workload portability)?
