Why Cloud Migration Is Really About People

Cloud migration is not just moving servers. It is about enabling people to work smarter and faster. Every migration I have led succeeded because we addressed human concerns alongside technical challenges.
Developers wanted flexibility, finance sought cost predictability, and operations were concerned about downtime. Addressing these needs through communication, training, and iterative rollout ensured adoption and minimal disruption.
The true measure of success is not how many servers were decommissioned but how empowered teams became, processes improved, and business outcomes were achieved. Technology without people is risk, not innovation.
