Strategic Cloud Choice: A Focused Decision Framework
Create a weighted decision matrix. List critical factors like cost, features, scalability, support, and team familiarity. Assign a weight (1-5) to each factor based on its importance to your project. Score Amazon and Azure (1-5) against each factor. Multiply scores by weights and sum totals. The higher score indicates the optimal choice, guiding your strategic cloud selection.

This structured approach transforms complex choices into objective comparisons. By quantifying criteria and assigning weights, you move beyond guesswork and emotional bias. It ensures all critical aspects—from cost to team expertise—are systematically evaluated, leading to a well-justified, optimal decision that aligns with your strategic goals and reduces post-decision regrets. This method provides clarity and confidence in high-stakes technology selections.
