Generally speaking, cloud migration involves moving from on-premises infrastructure to cloud-based services. In cloud computing environments, infrastructure and services are maintained by the cloud vendor, allowing you to focus on how best to serve your customers. However, it can also mean migrating from one cloud to another.

This is a complex topic, but to borrow from a recent post , web performance expands access to information and services by reducing latency and variance across interactions in a session, with a particular focus on the tail of the distribution (P75+). Consistent performance matters just as much as low average latency.

For applications like communication between AVs, latency–how long it takes to get a response–is more likely to be a bigger limitation than raw bandwidth, and is subject to limits imposed by physics. There are impressive estimates for latency for 5G, but reality has a tendency to be harsh on such predictions.
