(2) Careabouts are different at each stage. What you look at during the first 20 workloads - very different when you are operating at 100 workloads, and very different at 500 . Cost, latency, performance, operational choices, skill-set gap ar... #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/06bhd
(1) Apps and data rule the choices today - but infra & shared services make those choices unbearable at-times... consciously move those security and networking choices to the fore-front, and not "after" the fact #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/76bh6
Also it will be interesting to see if the hyperscalers will whole heartedly start building common services for other clouds. Seen that in GCP Anthos, Oracle to Azure interconnects etc - but nothing mainstream. #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/76bgn
A8. A lot more diversity - I mean the right cloud for the right workload. Today the app teams are happy to run in the cloud of their choice. Its Infra, operations and common services that poses as an impediment. Some abstractions can help. #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/66bgk
This does bring up an interesting operating model choice. Do I start with cloud operational model and homogenize that to DC, or the other way around. Or are these 2 going to be different altogether. #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/96bgf
A7. I think any Enterprise that has been around for 5 years knows hybrid & multi-cloud together are the new normal & are here to stay. Edge is a good example of this, so are the on-premise ones (hospital floor, manufacturing floor, onsite ma... #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/66bg5
A6. Oh related but also different. I think use-cases like industry 4.0, autonomous capabilities, gaming, drones etc do make legitimate edge use-cases. However there's also the edge or AI-washing - things that make you go "is that really neede... #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/26bfg
That said - start small with a few workloads that need to operate across clouds, decide if they are independent parallel clouds or you need interaction. If latter, ensure the experience is good before scaling out. Cloud elasticity is great an... #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/66bez
A5. Unfortunately there isn't a thing called "right blueprint" for multi-cloud. Too many nuances and considerations (tech stack, latency, operational tools, skill-set) ... and each ends up creating their own version. #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/96bet
Interesting quote I heard from a recent Enterprise on multi-cloud networking. "I don't want to gold plate my infrastructure and later find that my apps don't deliver". "I'd rather start with the most problematic apps, and then build infra und... #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/56beb
A4. (1) Be clear on the architectural choices driving workload placement in single vs multiple clouds. (2) Invest in skillset, tooling, operations - DevNetOps, DevSecOps etc. #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/26be2
That said - we've seen enough enterprises focus on their careabouts well. If they care about speed of operations, and getting apps to deliver on their digital experience, then cost is the price you pay for that... given current macro climate,... #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/06bdy
Early to cloud customers are trying to get those apps running - so they don't feel the pain of cost as much. Minute you go past 20-30 VPCs etc - the cost suddenly shoots to the forefront. #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/16bdv
Apps and data, as we know lead the way. As much as I'd love to say infrastructure choices (e.g. cloud networking, security) weigh in - its generally the apps and data that rule the choices #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/36bde
A2. Prior trends continue - industry cloud, workload specific choices (e.g. infra heavy vs analytics etc). Now increasingly cost leverage is a factor...and I think we'll see more of this in the coming months. #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/16bd6
I think there's a definition of multi-cloud thats important to articulate here. Is it independent parallel clouds (with diff workloads in each and not inter-related) or is it different workloads all talking to each other across clouds. The fo... #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/96bcp
(b) go dominantly on one cloud and build apps, infra, tooling for that ... the secondary cloud suffers ... and a few other choices in between. #eweekchatcrowdchat.net/s/06bcc
