In addition to laying out the basic criteria for choosing databases, this
report has tried to help you prepare a move to the cloud by preparing
you for the changes that will likely occur in your responsibilities and
tasks. Some responsibilities and tasks are simplified or removed by
moving to the cloud, but you will also have new technologies to learn
and will need to begin thinking in new ways about goals such as high
availability and optimization.
You will learn a lot during your first migration or by starting a new
project in the cloud. Each project will clarify the landscape of cloud
databases for you and give you ideas for your next project. And
hopefully, this report will alert you to what you need to look out for
along the way.
