Where enterprises go wrong with cloud networking

Cloud networking is essential for modern enterprises, but it comes with challenges.

While data migration to the cloud is often cost-effective, retrieving it can be surprisingly expensive.

Dwayne Knott of Provision Networks, highlights that egress fees—charges for moving data out of the cloud—can catch companies off guard.

Chatty applications, which frequently request network access, exacerbate these costs.

Network misconfigurations are another costly issue.

A Stacklet report found that nearly half of surveyed cloud practitioners identified misconfigurations as a major source of wasted spend.

These weaknesses also pose significant cyber risks.

Knott notes that poor communication between networking teams and developers leads to security and operational inefficiencies.

"Networking teams don’t usually get invited to the cloud party," he said, emphasizing the need for collaboration.

To address these issues, enterprises should integrate networking teams with developers and cloud architects.

Training in cloud and coding for network professionals, and networking protocols for developers, can optimize cloud networking practices.
