Workloads built or moved to the cloud still need a plan for operations. Applications that keep the same form factor during a migration such as a VMware virtual machine may need to be added again to logging platforms, monitoring tools, and security patching strategies since they are now located in a different data center.
Applications that change form factors such as a re-platformed application may require entirely new operations routines to ensure they are monitored, secured, audited, etc.
