Why are companies migrating to the cloud?

It is hard turning anywhere these days without being hit with the term "the cloud." Our present-day society has hit a tipping point where businesses big and small are seeing that the benefits of moving their workloads to the cloud outweigh the costs and risks. As an example, the US Department of Defense, as of 2019, is in the process of selecting a cloud provider and awarding a 10-year $10 billion-dollar contract. Moving your systems to the cloud has many advantages, but one of the main reasons companies move to the cloud is its elastic capabilities.

When deploying a new project in an on-premises environment, we always start with capacity planning. Capacity planning is the exercise that enterprises go through to determine how much hardware they will need for a new system to run efficiently. Depending on the size of the project, the cost of this hardware can run into the millions. For that reason, it could take months...
