Day Two Cloud 007: Digital Transformation Is More Than Just Cloud Migration

Many organizations are leaping into the cloud in hopes of achieving “digital transformation.”
Collapsing your entire data center and moving it online might seem like a great idea, but just pushing your heritage application to the cloud won’t digitally transform your company any more that slapping an Autobots symbol on your car makes it a Transformer.
How do you actually move a workload to the public cloud? What are the pitfalls and gotchas? Why did we get a whole movie about Bumblebee and not Jazz? Let’s dive into the world of cloud migrations to find out.
My guest is Martin Ehrnst, a Technical Lead for Azure at Intility AS. We talk about what digital transformation entails for startups and for established enterprises.
We also discuss:

* Why you need multi-factor authentication from the start
* How to use governance templates to ensure that new workloads get the right monitoring and controls
* Why you need a team or department to drive digital transformation within an organization
* Why the principles and practices of digitization can’t only reside with that team
