Since the cloud offers numerous benefits such as: IT operational competence, flexibility, increased global reach, re-duced cost, efficiency, customized applications and services making cloud computing the prime alternative in comparison to maintaining in-house operations. Migrating enterprises existing applications and services to a cloud if not properly managed may be susceptible to compati-bility and orchestration-based risks. Cloud shifting may also lead to issues related to aligning enterprise strategy with IT and cloud services.
