CSP/Regions Eligibility process

Companies that adopt the Cloud rarely choose a "mono-cloud only" strategy. The strategy is most often hybrid (let's keep "Legacy" and some multi-cloud). The idea here is therefore to integrate the choice of hosting destination in a standardised process for each (new) solution.

Here is an example to illustrate the practice:

• The company NewCo has defined a Cloud First strategy oriented multi-cloud AWS and Azure.
• It has a preference for AWS unless there are strong constraints on the technology side or if the envisaged cost is significantly more based on Azure.
• The company has already selected the possible regions for each of the suppliers according to latency, compliance, cost, etc...

From there, the decision process for a new solution can be very simple:

A more sophisticated process could take into account:

• the BU at the origin of the request,
• the type of application,
• the level of confidentiality required,
• the regulatory constraints that apply,
• the latency constraints,
• the target customers,
• etc.
