Cloud services could Be a configuration nightmare Return us to an immature service monitoring and management position Introduce weak points in high availability services Complicate development and deployment
easyJet strategy Use simple, standard solutions by default Introduce cloud solutions only when they simplify things Promote innovative use of mainstream technology Continually test the market to measure capability Continue to use Microsoft technology for our technical platform Azure will be the natural choice, but we ll try others Provide scalable systems that never restrict the growth of the business Look for areas where cloud will simplify the scaling of systems Provide 100% uptime for business critical systems Wait for cloud to mature before committing to HA usage
