AWS Senior Migration Advisor Steve Peacock describes cost-saving strategies and patterns he’s seeing from customers right now. Migrating to AWS can decrease infrastructure costs by 31% on average and once on the platform, optimization can further reduce spend. As a former CTO, CIO, and COO, Steve also shares emerging best practices to cut costs mid-term while keeping sight on innovation goals. He says starting a dialogue within your team is the first step to modernizing. To begin the conversation, individuals can self-assess organizational readiness in minutes by using the Cloud Adoption Readiness Tool (https://cart.splashthat.com/) and then, later, discuss results as a team. Or go to the AWS Cloud Migration page (https://aws.amazon.com/cloud-migration/) for an overview about enterprise migration.
