First, there was DevOps. Then, ModernOps and CloudOps. Now, there is ScaryOps.

Welcome to the special Halloween Edition of the Modern Digital Business podcast. In this episode, the 3 Scariest Mistakes Companies Make in the Cloud.

It's time to turn our attention to scary things…scary movies, scary TV shows, scary home decorations, scary costumes.

But when it comes to working with customers and clients on their cloud projects, sometimes I get quite scared…and not in a good way.

Working with customers and clients on their cloud projects, what they do can be down right scary. 

I get scared when I hear stories about how a company is preparing to migrate to the cloud incorrectly, or when someone shares a misguided plan about how their organization is going to use the cloud once it is fully migrated. I sometimes hear stories that downright chill me to the bone.

Don’t make yourself the central character in one of these horror tales. Instead, avoid these scariest mistakes that companies make in the cloud.

Here is the countdown of the three scariest mistakes you can make in your cloud migration.
