Suppose you have currently a sps 2010 site and maybe you want to upgrade. What will you do upgrade ? or place it in the cloud ?
And you use the sps only for document archive and some team sites, currently you have the whole DTAP config and every rol is configured for high availability. The deployment is done by SCCM in the first place and using VMM 2012 with orchestrator to deploy a bigger farm if you need one.
but why all this if you can place this in azure let me hear your opinion and or when would you place it in the cloud and when not.
I think Azure is still expensive. For example a DC + SQL + 1 APP + 2WFE Servers would cost you easily 4000$ Per month in Azure. I don’t think at the moment the pros of Azure make up for the cost. Don’t forget that also a lot of companies don’t want to put their documents in the cloud due to certain privacy laws the might have to follow.
