Transformation
Set up a cloud governance committee to ensure the implementation of defined cloud standards and socialising across the enterprise.
Draw up a cloud journey roadmap delineating the main objectives for implementing a cloud strategy.
Develop key performance indicators (KPIs) to baseline the organisation’s cloud maturity metrics with the goal of measuring against achieved outcomes.
Develop a targeted operation model (TOM) to take into acount cultural shifts such as roles and responsibilities (RACI), new skills training and new technologies. (i.e., roles/responsibilities (RACI), new skills training, new technologies).
Leverage a twelve-factor microservices methodology by adopting an agile development strategy.
Respond and acclimatose to industry open standards and open source technologies such as Cloud Foundry (CF) and Kubernetes, or databases such as PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
By necessity, the organization would utilise traditional public cloud services and have on-premises infrastructure and capabilities to manage both hardware and software.
Here are a few ways enterprises can find the use a reverse hybrid cloud architecture beneficial, and harness the power of the public cloud in-house.
Rather than compel having to work on and maintain multiple environments, a reverse hybrid cloud setup encourages organisations to standardise technologies for deployment anywhere. With Google Kubernetes Engine, it whether the workloads are processed on-premises or on Google’s machines in inconsequential – the interface, the applications, the technology, and the requisite skills stay the same.
Allows large organisations that want to take advantage of containers and microservices to operate core hardware and infrastructure internally. At the same time, these organisations can still retain greater control and the flexibility of a wider range of options.
IT decision makers can improve policy enforcement and compliance through the standardization of common technologies across environments, e.g. standardizing on Kubernetes. Running cloud-native technology on-premises enables such standardisation.
IT organisations have the opportunity to test and develop cloud-based services comprehensively and internally prior to deployment to the public cloud.
Improve performance of existing cloud-based workloads that require minimal latency and enjoy potential cost savings traditionally associated with WANs by bringing the cloud on-premises.
Cost savings for enormous data transfers as it can load data on edge devices and ship the devices to a cloud provider for hosting.
Organisations can manipulate their data before sending to AWS by running EC2 on the edge.
