Most teams brace for the wrong risk when they plan a move to the cloud. They worry about the mechanics of copying files, but the projects that actually go sideways fail for less obvious reasons: the wrong workload landed in the wrong environment, a dependency nobody mapped broke on cutover day, the ongoing bill came in nowhere near the estimate, or nobody owned the environmen...

A cloud strategy is only as strong as the infrastructure sitting underneath it. Public cloud, private cloud, backup jobs, and disaster recovery plans all still depend on physical things: power that stays on, cooling that keeps up, network paths that do not fail at the same time, locked doors, and recovery processes somebody has tested.
