A few pointers in this direction A roadmap for moving from the cloud to in-premise computing should include the following steps: 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. Identify in-premise infrastructure: Identify the in-premise infrastructure that will be needed to run the identified workloads....
