About the Episode
This podcast features AWS enterprise strategists Jonathan Allen and Jake Burns discussing cloud migration insights. Drawing from their own extensive experience, they offer actionable guidance for organizations at any stage of migrating to the cloud. Key lessons include starting promptly, securing workforce buy-in, and maintaining simplicity. They dispel myths about migration complexity and emphasize speed's role in risk reduction. Technical advice covers efficient tool usage and minimal refactoring approaches. Practical tips include clear goal communication, strategic outsourcing, and starting with low-risk workloads.



One of the things I always tell my engineers is rather than being in the data center at 3 o'clock in the morning and to some sort of weird change control, doing some sort of maintenance, wouldn't you rather be much closer to the actual outputs that you are delivering, making that experience really real for customers?"
-Jonathan Allen, Director, AWS Enterprise Strategy
