Many organizations fail in their cloud strategies by simply performing lift-and-shift migrations, rather than embracing cloud-native approaches.
A case study highlighted a financial services company's ineffective cloud implementation with manual processes and lack of cloud-native benefits.
The solution involved transitioning from manual scaling to auto-scaling, IAM user credentials to federated, role-based access, Infrastructure-as-Code practices, and adopting cloud-native solutions like ECS and Fargate.
The results included reduced deployment times, predictable scaling, improved security, cost efficiency, and a transformation where the cloud became an integral part of delivering value.
