Cloud Repatriation helps you regain control over your infrastructure and secure your most sensitive data. With a rise in state-backed cyber threats and high-profile cloud breaches, relying on shared environments puts your business at risk. Repatriating critical workloads to private infrastructure reduces your attack surface, improves visibility, and strengthens your overall security posture—before your data becomes tomorrow’s headline.

Cloud repatriation is rapidly becoming a strategic move for companies looking to cut costs, improve performance, and regain control from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud—here’s what it actually means and why it matters.

Cloud is incredible—until a specific workload pays a premium for convenience. Cloud realism means placing each system where it runs fastest, safest, and most predictably. For steady, I/O-heavy, or regulated apps, that often means repatriating to private infrastructure: lower latency, tighter control, and calmer bills. This post shows when it pencils out, how to model a three-year TCO, and how to migrate in waves without drama.

Cloud-first made sense when workloads were small. But for AI, regulated data, and high-performance systems, public cloud costs and risks are climbing fast. This post explores real-world cloud failures, why startups still benefit from cloud-first, and how modern tools — including ArcShift’s own — make on-prem feel like the cloud without the unpredictable bills.

We work hands-on across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, helping organizations evaluate when it makes sense to bring workloads back on-premises or into private infrastructure. Our approach is vendor-agnostic and built on repeatable methodologies — whether it’s databases, storage-heavy systems, or AI/ML workloads. The result: a clear path to lower costs, better performance, and stronger governance without being locked into a single provider.

ArcShift co-founders Ian Nock and Kevin Heisser joined John San Filippo of Filipotaumus on the TechSolutions4CUs Podcast to discuss why so many organizations are rethinking public cloud. From rising costs to compliance challenges, the conversation explores what’s driving cloud repatriation—and why more teams aren’t openly talking about making the move back to private infrastructure.

AI may not be Skynet, but it’s already destroying something else: your cloud budget. Discover why businesses are saying goodbye to public cloud and bringing workloads back home.

Cloud repatriation is back — and it might just be your next strategic advantage. In this post, we explore why companies are exiting the public cloud in favor of private infrastructure, how it compares to the 90s comeback trends, and what it takes to do it right. Sometimes the smartest move isn’t chasing what’s new — it’s revisiting what works.

Public cloud once promised flexibility and savings—but like today’s streaming services, it’s become more expensive and complex. With rising costs, egress fees, and limited control, many businesses are reevaluating their cloud strategy. Cloud repatriation offers a smarter path forward—improving performance, reducing costs, and giving you back control.

Think repatriation might be right for you? Cloud-first isn’t cloud-forever. As costs rise and compliance tightens, businesses are reevaluating public cloud. This article explores why companies are moving workloads back on-premises, what’s driving cloud repatriation, and how to plan the transition wisely. Learn when on-prem makes sense, how to avoid cloud cost surprises, and what a hybrid IT future really looks like.

Cloud repatriation is on the rise as businesses look to reduce cloud costs, regain control, and boost performance. In this post, we explore why companies are moving workloads off AWS, Azure, and GCP—and how hybrid and on-prem strategies can offer better long-term value

Public cloud providers have marketed their platforms as the inevitable future of IT—but the reality is far from magical. Between egress fees, lock-in complexity, and stacked partner margins, many organizations are now re-evaluating whether everything truly belongs in the cloud. This post explores why cloud exits, reverse migration, and cloud repatriation are gaining momentum—and why your trusted IT advisor may not be incentivized to suggest them.
