Best Practices For Making Cloud Repatriation Feel Like Victory, Not Retreat
DataCenter Knowledge, April 10th, 2023
These are the best practices for making the most out of repatriation, even in situations where you weren't counting on having to pull workloads from the cloud.
Deciding to repatriate your cloud workload back on-prem can feel like a defeat. Typically, businesses undertake repatriation because running workloads in the cloud turned out not to deliver the performance, cost or security results they were hoping for - so they pull the plug on the cloud and return at least some workloads to their own data centers.
That doesn't mean, however, that moving workloads back to an on-prem environment should feel like a failure. A better approach is to treat repatriation as an opportunity to optimize your workloads and strategy. If you can make your workloads better than when they originally ran on-prem, cloud repatriation becomes a way to create value, rather than a mere retreat.
