Well, to be honest, that’s not at all surprising. It’s an all too common scenario.
Why?
Because companies choose to use Cloud Services for the following reasons.
1. To urgently replace an existing backup solution.
2. Because some new urgent project demands a Cloud based solution.
3. To speedily boost or replace on premise servers.
All of these are time based demands and often they spawn a sudden launch into Cloud without serious consideration of how resources should be managed.
The common problems this creates include:
- No tagging
- No one knows why a server was built or if it can be deleted
- Lack of clear ownership
- Bills cannot be allocated properly
- Disagreement as to who owns the shared Cloud services
- Insecure solutions
- Inefficient solutions
- Inflexible designs
