Cloud complexity is the number one reason enterprises experience failures with cloud. Cloud-based platforms become complex due to an excess of heterogeneity and fewer common services. The end result is negative cloud computing value.

Many factors come into play when ranking your cloud complexity: number of workloads, databases, platforms, storage systems, security models, governance models, management platforms—this list goes on.
