Reducing cloud complexity requires a strategy that improves visibility, writes CloudCheckr CTO Anu Subramanian in CIO Review. As more organizations moving to public cloud, she says, they need a cloud strategy with visibility at its core.

Subramanian writes:

“Security concerns, compliance and a lack of application support are the top barriers to a rapid cloud migration. But organizations that are already in the cloud face myriad obstacles, too. For examples, 93% of IT and business professionals encounter challenges with budgeting cloud costs. Data transfer, shadow IT and inaccurate forecasts can result in unexpected cloud costs, which crop up for 94% of organizations.

Visibility also remains a core issue in managing cloud infrastructure. Cloud visibility allows you to identify security gaps and provides a comprehensive view of resource utilization, yet many organizations lack full visibility. This oversight can lead to unnecessary cloud spend, significant security issues and even application performance issues.”
