What Is Cloud Repatriation And What Are The Leading Causes?
TechTarget, Tuesday, September 10th, 2024
Cloud repatriation refers to the practice of relocating public cloud applications to different locations, most often on premises and for financial, performance and regulatory reasons.
Disillusionment with public cloud over common complaints such as unexpected costs and the potential for vendor lock-in are not the only reasons organizations move applications back on premises. Cloud repatriation is also the result of organizations taking a more prescriptive approach to workload deployment against a technological backdrop where they can enjoy the main benefits of public cloud -- especially scalability, elasticity and consumption-based pricing -- in a location of their choosing. It is becoming less reactive and more of an integral part of enterprise IT strategies.
