What must be remediated before deploying to the Cloud?

The focus on remediating all optimization items before deploying to the Cloud is crucial because cloud environments often have different performance characteristics and resource management requirements compared to traditional on-premises infrastructures. Optimizing code and configuration ensures that applications run efficiently, taking full advantage of the cloud's scalable resources.

When deploying applications in the cloud, it is essential to consider aspects such as load balancing, storage capabilities, network bottlenecks, and resource allocation. Addressing these optimization items helps prevent performance degradation and can lead to cost savings by ensuring that resources are used effectively.

In contrast, while rewriting all code, training team members, or completing documentation are important steps in the development process, they are not universally required prior to a cloud deployment. Instead, optimizing existing applications is a more targeted and necessary remediation effort to ensure a successful deployment in cloud environments.
