Workloads Gone Wild: Taming Cloud Migration Chaos

Ever wondered if “cloud-first” is still the smartest move? Join your favorite dynamic duo, Phoebe Goh and Mekka Williams, as they chat with Jenny Marshall, global go-to-market strategy leader at NetApp, about why it might be time to rethink that playbook. 

 Jenny unpacks the shift from the old-school “cloud-first” mandate to the savvier “intelligent application placement” approach. It’s not about chasing the cloud for the sake of it, but figuring out where each workload truly belongs - whether that’s on-prem, private cloud, or public cloud. Along the way, they reveal the irresistible perks of cloud adoption, like modernization, tighter security, resilience, and yes, saving those precious dollars. 

 But hang on, it’s not all sunshine and server racks. Cloud migration has its plot twists. From sorting application priorities to untangling dependencies and calculating the real costs, there’s plenty to master. Plus, what’s the secret sauce for migration magic? Hint: it’s getting your whole team on board and rowing in the same direction. 

 Packed with no-nonsense tips and clever strategies, this episode is your backstage pass to cloud success. Hit play, follow, and maybe even leave a review (because, you know, sharing is caring)!
