The Real Cost of Running Legacy and Kubernetes Together

Engineering the Intelligent Enterprise · Apr 24, 2026 · 43m

The most expensive part of a cloud migration usually isn’t Kubernetes.

It’s the old system still running beside it.

═════════════════════

In this episode, we unpack why parallel infrastructure destroys TCO, why “percent migrated” is the wrong scoreboard, and why time to legacy switch-off is the metric that actually matters.

═════════════════════

We cover:

day-zero cost observability,

Kubernetes over provisioning,

decommission planning, and

the practical steps that stop a migration from becoming a permanent overlap bill.

═════════════════════

Stay tuned.
