With lack of visibility into how cloud resources are utilized, it's easy to make costly mistakes. This paper covers five network-related cloud deployment mistakes that you might not be aware of that can negate the cloud benefits you’re hoping to achieve.

Topics discussed in this whitepaper include:

• The risks and costs associated with redundant cloud-based services.
• The importance of avoiding “hair-pin” traffic routing scenarios when configuring cloud services.
• How to minimize costs by minimizing unnecessary inter-region traffic.
• Understanding the network behavior of cloud services and taking advantage of basic optimization, configuration, and compression opportunities.
• Recommendations for reducing Internet content delivery costs.
