Cloud economics are downstream of cloud architecture. Most enterprises discover this the hard way — through the invoice. Workloads placed against convenience instead of cost. Data gravity ignored until it showed up as egress charges. Services procured by engineering teams and accumulated into a sprawl that finance can’t reconcile.
We approach cloud as an architecture conversation, not a lift-and-shift conversation. Workload placement decisions are modeled against performance, cost, and regulatory reality — not against the vendor diagram. Multi-cloud and hybrid topologies are designed deliberately. Governance is built in from day one, not retrofitted after the FinOps fire drill.
The cloud sequence matters. We design the sequence.
