Stop wasting time on cloud architecture before checking feasibility 🚀

Cloud migrations routinely run over budget and behind schedule because teams underestimate capability gaps and hidden dependencies at the outset. Strategy is wasted effort if you do not know whether the move is even realistic right now.

Here is how to figure it out:

• Run a quick five-question check with the workload owner before building target architectures or runbooks.
• Look for concrete triggers like contract renewals or data residency needs rather than a vague desire to reduce vendor lock-in.
• Identify the five main blockers early: provider dependencies, coupled tooling, single cutover risks, skill gaps, and missing triggers.
• Prefer staged, independently validated migrations over risky single-window cutovers without rollback paths.

Checking feasibility upfront saves your team from mistiming a major move and burning weeks on premature strategy.
