Leveraging Cloud Migration for Cost Efficiency
Steven Sharp
2025-02-06The cloud's pay‑as‑you‑go promise can sound like marketing hype—until you see a trimmed infrastructure bill and smoother deployments. Yet lift‑and‑shift done poorly often costs more.
Today we explore how strategic migration reduces spend while boosting resilience.
Right‑Size Your Resources
Autoscaling avoids paying for idle servers. Use cost calculators before moving workloads.
Adopt Serverless Where It Fits
Functions‑as‑a‑Service let you pay per execution, perfect for spiky traffic.
Optimise Storage
Tier infrequently accessed data to cheaper classes like S3 Glacier or Azure Archive.
"Moving to the cloud is easy; saving money in the cloud is an art."
Cloud savings come from architecture, not just location. Smart migration turns infrastructure from a cost centre into a competitive advantage.
Need help implementing a cost‑efficient cloud migration? We'd love to discuss how we can create a tailored cloud solution that fits your unique needs.
