Cloud Exit Strategy: Proven Guide to Avoid Lock-In Risk
Almost every organisation agrees a cloud exit strategy is sensible and almost none holds a tested one. This guide sets out where lock-in genuinely comes from, what the four realistic exit routes cost in money and elapsed time, how egress charges and the new switching rules actually work, which architecture decisions keep the door open cheaply, what exit rights belong in the contract, and how to rehearse the plan so it becomes a capability rather than a filing-cabinet artefact. The point is rarely to leave. It is to be credibly able to leave.
