Moving to the cloud is a business decision not a technical one.

Csuite sees us spending Capex 200K on a server or 2 and several thousand opex per year to maintain it.

Cloud takes that 200K Capex and move it to Opex with significant markup markup.

From a technical pov we st it as a waste but business will business itself into cost overruns

But they promised we could save a ton of money with their monitoring dashboards we won't look at until suddenly we get a bill that is 5x what they promised!

Lifting and shifting an existing monolithic architecture to the cloud with zero modernization changes will result in a higher cost than leaving it in a data center.

Converting the application to use as much serverless and microservice-based technology as possible is where the cloud ROI is.
