Transitioning to the cloud presents a number of challenges.

The rapid migration of on-premises workloads to the cloud for enterprises all over the world has been aided by the expansion and maturity of cloud computing, as well as developments in application development. Despite these developments, businesses are still having trouble migrating existing workloads to the cloud swiftly and effectively.

The following are some of the obstacles that are commonly encountered when adopting a cloud strategy:

• Inconsistent operations in the cloud and on-premises
• Inadequate skill sets and the need for new procedures
• Disparate management tools and security controls
• Complex Application Refactoring
• Inconsistent application of Service Level Agreements
• Incompatible machine formats
• High upfront expenses for refactoring and revalidation
• Reduced agility due to refactoring and workload migration delays

With Azure VMware Solution, Organizations Can Rise to the Occasion
