Overcoming Cloud Migration Obstacles with Sergey Kandaurov

Craft of Code

More cloud providers deliver state-of-the-art service at an attractive price point than ever before. It’s why many companies are choosing to switch providers, especially when exploring new cloud environments. But selecting a new provider is just the first part of the journey. Then comes migration.

Aiming to simplify migration is Sergey Kandaurov, Founder and CTO at Flexify. Flexify is the virtualization and migration company that builds cloud-agnostic solutions to reduce dependency on a single cloud storage provider.

We spoke to Sergey in season two, episode five of The Craft of Code podcast to talk about the challenges with migration and how Flexify is supporting their customers to help overcome them.

In this episode, we discussed:

• Building a migration solution to challenge the market leader
• Why API compatibility is vital to migrations
• The limiting factors impacting how Flexify works with customers
• Why cloud egress charges are a sticking point
• How global networks and peering relationships set hyper-scale providers apart
• Why customers want more global solutions
• How Flexify supports a vast range of cloud providers
• Sergey’s advice for start-ups considering cloud migration
