cloud repatriation
The process of moving workloads or data from public cloud environments back to on-premises infrastructure or private clouds, often for cost, performance, or compliance reasons.
Cloud repatriation refers to the transfer of applications, data, or workloads from public cloud providers back to on-premises data centers or private cloud environments. Organizations may pursue repatriation to regain control over sensitive data, reduce operational costs, improve performance, or meet regulatory requirements.
This process involves careful planning, data migration, and reconfiguration of applications to ensure minimal disruption and continued business operations. Repatriation may be partial or complete, depending on evolving business needs and cloud strategies.
By balancing cloud and on-premises resources, organizations can optimize their IT environments for security, compliance, and cost-effectiveness while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to future requirements.
