A vast majority of migrations to the cloud that I am aware of were life-and-shift migrations. Putting software back in the locally hosted data centres is often quite feasible, as nothing gets rewritten, really. > Who is going to maintain that non-cloud infrastructure? It's the EU, mind you.

Just non-US. > How do you address and mitigate the risks involved (e.g., security, resilience)? I guess that's very project-specific. > That said, there are companies such as VMware that sell "local cloud" setups.
