The complexity and high costs of owning and operating onpremises software applications are among the many reasons businesses are gravitating towards the cloud. In the past, moving, scaling, building, and deploying applications in the cloud proved to be costly roadblocks and detours for IT teams.

Cloud providers take responsibility over migration, storage, backup and disaster recovery, power and cooling, data center space, and various other support services.
