Cloud Exit, Before the Exit
An open standard for measuring whether a company can actually move its data, workloads, and operations between cloud providers.
Field notes
Cloud Exit organizes portability around five criteria, each presented as definition, verification, worked example, and boundaries or objections. Its public ledger links price claims to dated tables, assumptions, reports, CSV files, source material, and SHA-256 checksums. The homepage also supplies a migration-case template covering what moved, what stayed, cost, duration, failure, and the team's proposed do-over, while the registry currently has no provider ratings.
