Over the course of my last few blog posts, we’ve looked at how an increasing number of database workloads are migrating to the cloud, how there is more than one path to get there… and why overprovisioning is one of the biggest challenges to overcome.

I want you to imagine that you check in to a nice hotel. You’ve had a good day and you feel like treating yourself, so you decide to order breakfast in your room for the following morning. Why not? You fill out the menu checkboxes… Let’s see now: granola, toast, coffee, some fruit. Maybe a juice. That will do nicely.

When you’re preparing to move your mission-critical databases and applications to the cloud, your main goal is to move as quickly as possible without incurring any risk to the business by impacting the business logic and functionality of the applications in question. And, of course, to complete this process at the lowest possible cost.
