5.ComplexCloud Migration
Moving data (or apps) to the cloud is a difficult task that necessitates extensive resource utilisation. Data must be migrated to multiple clouds in a multi-cloud setup. This migration task can be time-consuming and difficult for a new team. Similarly, in a hybrid cloud environment, migrating data to public clouds from various vendors takes more time, resources, and a skilled team. As a result, cloud migration is quite complex in both multi-cloud and hybrid cloud configurations.
