Public cloud success isn’t defined by migration or go live. It’s defined by what happens after workloads are live. In this session, Lightedge’s public cloud experts discuss why Day 2 management, security, compliance, cost control, and optimization determine long term success.
The panel explores what changes between day one and day 365, including cloud sprawl, unclear ownership, access controls, configuration drift, rising costs, and the shared responsibility model across AWS, Azure, customers, and partners.
You’ll also hear practical guidance for assessing an inherited cloud environment, balancing performance and cost, managing risk at scale, and approaching AI with a clear business goal.
