A Roadmap to move from Cloud to In premise - The reverse migration -- Is Cloudflation at myth?

 Cloudflation as a term is being used and talks on the spiralling cost of cloud bills for an organization. The easily available and provisioning options leads to workloads that run for no reasons, orphaned accounts and a gamut of costs that are accrued by multiple departments without much of an oversight. There is a trend to reduce the workloads and have a semblance of order. It is imperative that we have plans that helps to reverse the migration to cloud and bring back some of the workloads that might work cheaper to run local.

Is there a roadmap to achieve this goal? A few pointers in this direction

A roadmap for moving from the cloud to in-premise computing should include the following steps:

  1. Assess current workloads: Assess the current workloads that are running on the cloud and determine which workloads would be most suitable for in-premise computing.

  2. Identify in-premise infrastructure: Identify the in-premise infrastructure that will be needed to run the identified workloads. This includes servers, storage, and networking equipment.

  3. Plan the migration: Create a plan for migrating the workloads from the cloud to in-premise computing. This plan should include details such as the timeline, resource allocation, and dependencies.

  4. Test and validate: Test and validate the new in-premise infrastructure and workloads to ensure they are functioning properly and meet the requirements.

  5. Migrate data: Migrate the data from the cloud to the in-premise infrastructure. This may include data backup, replication, and archiving.

  6. Monitor and maintain: Monitor and maintain the in-premise infrastructure and workloads to ensure they are running smoothly and to address any issues that may arise.

A checklist that can be used for this purpose would include the following items:

  • Assess current workloads and infrastructure
  • Identify workloads suitable for in-premise computing
  • Identify in-premise infrastructure requirements
  • Create a migration plan
  • Test and validate new infrastructure and workloads
  • Migrate data from the cloud to in-premise infrastructure
  • Monitor and maintain in-premise infrastructure and workloads
  • Review and evaluate the migration process
  • Continuously monitor and improve the in-premise infrastructure

It's important to note that this process can take time and may require a significant investment in terms of resources and expertise, so it's important to have a clear plan and budget in place. Additionally, it's important to ensure that the in-premise infrastructure meets the security, compliance, and regulatory requirements of your organization.

Role Based Firewalls - New products on the anvil

Devices that have varied capabilities are increasing in number. This would lead to the inevitable deluge of devices connecting through Bluetooth, Wifi, Wimax, Fiber and any other medium that is considered good enough for data to be carried over. The present set of tools that we use for securing networks are part of the risk management stance of an organization. The complexity of the varied devices is making it much more difficult and the balance between productivity and the technology advantage is lost if the organization does not use the latest in technologies. We are seeing Contractors and end users who want to use their own devices. They want to connect to "The Networks" and the Infosec practitioner is to provide the needed connectivity to resources at the same time ensuring that the data is protected. The Contractor may work for our competitor, how do we ensure that he has access to systems that he needs access to. This is where the new breed of products would come in...
