Begin with a cloud-based approach.
Cloud computing is the data center of the future, and as such, it is the backbone of all modern IT, allowing for greater creativity, versatility, and scalability.
You’ll need a tailored plan to move the business to a cloud-first mindset.
It should identify a straightforward vision with strategic objectives and demonstrate a step-by-step strategy in specific directions.
The elements that make up a cloud-first approach

The cloud stands for more creativity, greater versatility, and optimum scalability.
Companies have progressed in their cloud journeys and continue to take advantage of the public cloud’s benefits (innovation, higher value/managed services, and flexibility). For many businesses, it is the first choice. Multi-cloud eliminates reliance on a single provider. The right cloud for the right challenge, a step toward best-of-breed. Multi-cloud can be used to simplify processes at the same time. Multi-cloud solutions like Anthos and service meshes like Istio make this possible.
Load balancing that is more intelligent, multiple deployment configurations, and application integration into multi-cloud setups are all available. Istio is a good example.
On PaaS or containers/cubernets, application creation is becoming increasingly cloud-native. The movement is toward serverless architecture. Vertical convergence is reduced, time-to-market is shortened, and operating costs are reduced.
Large corporations’ complete in-house development of cloud services is on the decline. The adoption of open source standard stacks and the incorporation of well-established open source tools/frameworks are on the rise. This trend can be seen in the areas of AI/Analytics, container systems, and DevOps automation with CI/CD.
