Cloud Challenges:
The Complexity Is Real
Source: Flexera 2023 State of Cloud Report
An incomplete view and inadequate control over complex public cloud services can blindside your plans for security threat protection and business resiliency measures. Internal resource, skillset, and time gaps to properly manage dynamic, public cloud environments and workloads may hinder your ability to optimize application performance and respond to cyclical business demands.
If these challenges sound familiar, you’re not alone. The Flexera 2023 State of the Cloud Report found that security, lack of resources/expertise, and managing cloud spend are top concerns for organizations, regardless of cloud maturity.
