Six Things We Wish We Knew Before Moving to the Coop

1. Start small

Move one service first. The learning from the first is worth ten planning meetings.

2. Tag everything

Untagged resources become mysteries. Tag at creation, not after.

3. Set budgets early

A budget alert at 80% is the cheapest insurance in cloud computing.

4. Do not forget DNS

DNS is always the last thing and always the thing that breaks. Plan the cutover with it in mind.
