This session will answer some of the most common questions about foundational cloud concepts we get, including: Why might we move to the cloud? Which deployment and service models should I choose? Which projects should I start with? What are some tips and tricks that can increase my success? Consider attending the Introducing a Reference Architecture for Creating, Accessing, and Maintaining an As-Built Network and the From Source to Screen: A Geospatial Content Delivery Strategy for Your GIS Program sessions which will complement the concepts shared here with an example.
