Think about Migration time you will need.

Cloud is easy to start, but so easy to mess up. More care should be taken with SaaS

Some cloud vendors may look well established, but it may not be the case in reality. Zoom for example. Sometimes we have to teach them.

There are just as many technical details in cloud solution as on prem solution.

Are you interested in building an “All Stanford IT” Online Community Solution? This would be a central place to share information; and find out who's who in IT at Stanford?
We shared ideas and looked at gaps that currently exist and what a solution might look like.
 
We’re looking for people to validate this idea and volunteer some time to put it into action. 
 
During breakout, we looked at gaps, solutions, barriers to implement/maintain, adopt, etc. such a solution.
 
To seed the discussion, here are some possible features:

Intros

Who are we?

Many attendees are moving to a cloud provider, or already have committed to AWS.

Some attendees support clients who use AWS (e.g., law school or library)

Many attendees want to use SSO off campus.

Others use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and are curious about relationships to AWS

How do you set up basic SSO on AWS?
