[deserialized]

Have the on prem team start deploying some assets that can utilized by the cloud team via a familiar interface like terraform. (metal as a service, kubevirt, Vsphere, nebula, whatever)

Start small, pick one service at a time (compute this quarter, postgres next quarter, secrets management the next) and use the emerging platform to strangle out paid services

Cloud team gets to stay cloudy, on prem team still gets to farm servers
