Avoiding Bad Decisions in Your Cloud Strategy

About This Course

Most cloud strategy advice focuses on the decisions before you move. This course is about the ones that go wrong after you’re already using the cloud — a security assumption nobody checked, a role nobody clearly owns, a cost model nobody is watching.

It’s built for both a migration already underway and a cloud-native build starting from scratch. Two chapters: the specific bad decisions to watch for, and the antidotes — thinking long term, deciding dynamically instead of once, and defining success criteria up front.

What You’ll Learn

• Recognizing the cloud decisions that go wrong quietly: misjudged security requirements, poorly defined roles, cost left unmanaged, and cloud capabilities underestimated
• Building a cloud team that can actually catch these mistakes before they’re expensive
• Thinking long term and deciding dynamically instead of locking in a plan and walking away from it
• Defining success criteria up front, so you know a decision worked before it’s too late to change it

Who This Is For

Architects, engineering leads, and IT decision-makers responsible for how their organization uses the cloud, whether that’s an in-flight migration or a cloud-native build.
