Cloud adoption created flexibility, but flexibility without visibility can create cost and complexity. Teams are increasingly evaluating infrastructure decisions at the workload level.
Why it matters
Cost, performance, resilience, data location, and team capability all affect where a workload belongs. A precise strategy makes those tradeoffs visible instead of relying on a single rule.
What to watch
Connect technical usage to business ownership, make recovery targets explicit, and revisit older workload assumptions as services change.
