It's an undeniable fact that cloud systems offer unparalleled advantages to enterprises. Yet, despite this, many workloads have yet to be migrated. In this session, AWS will share their experiences in terms of what has held some enterprises back in terms of migration. Most importantly, they will share examples of what is driving the migration of workloads that enterprises have previously been loath to move. What lies behind a change in attitude and how are blockers as well as concerns being successfully tackled.
