People often notice that moving to the cloud doesn&#x27;t reduce your infra headcount and I think that&#x27;s because after you move to the cloud, you can to take advantage of the tools available at a higher level of abstraction so they can become a high-uptime high-throughput saas essentially. Before you move to the cloud you have a bunch of infra engineers upgrading software and replacing hardware. After you move to the cloud. Well you&#x27;re often still upgrading software, but you&#x27;re finally free to do all the things you wish you could have done as an infrastructure engineer.<p>Test your backups. Improve High availability, tune your load balancer settings. Improve logging and metrics. Chaos engineering.
