So management is insisting that we migrate our openLDAP systems from
on premise into the cloud
If I maybe totally off topic. Why would they, for what reasons?
I could imagine five resaons:
Because it seems to be "cool" to put your data into the cloud (consultants may advise)
Management is not happy with the realiability right now
Reliability is good, and management expects it not to get worse in thge cloud
Management thinks the cloud will "work by itself" and they want to fire a few people taking care of the infrastructure right now.
Management is bored, and they are seeking for some thrill...
:-)
A non imaged and IMO good reason for not doing cloud, is that LDAP servers generally have personally identifyable information such as sn, givenname, email, etc. At least in countries that honor privacy legislation such as GDPR, you don't want such data under the control of another company and you do want to know where exactly such data are stored under which jurisdiction.
My 2 Cent.
Cheers,
Peter
