OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
SHOW: Season 2, Show 5
OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast, Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast, Cloudcast Basics.
FRAMEWORK FOR CONSIDERATION
This has always been a contentious topic, with varying options and quite a bit of evolution in the industry over time. The reality (in today’s world) is that most companies use a variety of cloud services, whether that’s IaaS. PaaS or SaaS-level.
- Does your company make centralized or decentralized decisions on cloud usage?
- Is there a distinct business reason to use multiple clouds?
- Does your company expect to integrate applications across clouds, or do they tend to be isolated?
- Do you have the people (or partners) to manage across multiple clouds?
- Are acquisitions a big part of your company’s innovation strategy?
- How much do you have to care about the longer-term future of your company?
REAL-WORLD CONSIDERATIONS:
- All of the cloud providers, and many software vendors, that can help you run consistently across multiple clouds.
- There is integration technology that can help you tie together multiple applications (via APIs).
- Most companies don’t “cloudburst” applications between clouds, because they usually have built up enough data gravity that it would be expensive to move the app and the data.
