Cloud-first approach is not always viable

The podcast episode discusses the limitations of a cloud-first approach. It emphasizes that not everything can or should be moved to the cloud, and that the idea of a wholesale migration to the cloud is flawed. The speaker argues that different applications and systems should be evaluated individually to determine the most effective and efficient environment for each. The episode highlights the importance of considering factors such as cost, risk, and complexity when making decisions about cloud adoption. It suggests that a multi-platform architecture, incorporating both cloud and non-cloud environments, may be a more realistic and practical approach for enterprises.
