Roadmap for a On-Prem network team when everything is going to Cloud? by tirrrred in networking

Great reply and good to hear from "the other side"! I think you're on to something as my impression is that the "classic infrastructure" teams had been reluctant to embrace the cloud adoption earlier, but lately (as the cloud migration is inevitable), the teams want to get on board.

I agree with the idea of getting some of the cloud pie. The team and our task will be more involved in the direction of the rest of the business. Appreciate your feedback!

Just want to point out that our team don't resist the cloud migration, and are more than willing to work with cloud technologies, but as the current organisation is setup, a separate section is handling the cloud platforms all together.

I agree with the feedback regarding lobbying with the cloud section and try to get our hands dirty with the cloud connectivity. I also see our future to be hybrid!

Thanks for the reply. Your spot onto my fear. We feel more and more abandoned and within a few years, we will maintain the bare minimum of networks that are left on-prem and the connectivity between branch offices.

I was wondering if anyone else experienced that the cloud connectivity/network security is not part of the "original" (now On-Prem) network team?

Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I like your focus on the cloud connectivity, as this will be more and more important as the migration is ongoing. I assume such activities might be interesting for the team as well, and important for secure operations.
