Factors leading to the rise in hybrid cloud adoption
Part of the Architecting the Cloud podcast series
Many organizations want the power and flexibility of the cloud but can't refactor all their apps to be cloud-ready. With several new solutions in the market today, a hybrid cloud model can enable benefits of the cloud without a complete cloud conversion.
Get the best of both worlds with hybrid clouds
To be sure, cloud-native development is surging. However, many companies have legacy applications that aren’t ready—and may never be ready—for deployment to the cloud. As an alternative, many organizations are turning to hybrid cloud models. Going hybrid provides many cloud benefits—centralized, management, security, orchestration and automation—without having to move all applications to the cloud. And, with hybrid-cloud models, companies can also effectively leverage IOT and edge computing. In this episode, Mike Kavis and guests, Deloitte Consulting LLP’s Bob Black and Luis Benavides, discuss the rise in hybrid clouds and how they’re helping companies realize the benefits of operating in the cloud while enabling them to build flexible architectures that suit their needs now, and in the future.

[A]s organizations come to the realization that they're not going to be able to go there [fully refactor all their apps for the cloud], but they want to be able to have a consistent operating plane, a consistent security environment, a single management plane, I think that's what's really going to be driving the adoption of hybrid cloud.

The business of hybrid and multi-cloud cloud computing
Many companies are moving to hybrid and multi-cloud computing, but to get the most benefits out of a hybrid/multi-cloud model, it's essential to be able to articulate the business benefits before making the move.
Managing a multi-cloud environment: strategy is everything
Many organizations are moving to a multi-cloud environment, but cloud complexity is multiplied in the multi-cloud. Having a sound strategy for implementation, data, security, automation, and collaboration is essential to both initial and long-term success.
Understanding cloud platforms
Platforms for hybrid and multi-cloud need to be native to the cloud platforms they are supporting, and thus you’ll choose a platform as a service (PaaS) from the infrastructure as a service (IaaS) provider of choice. However, there is no reason that you can’t mix and match PaaS and IaaS players if you need to.
Three Things that could Destroy Your Cloud Migration Project
Cloud deployments aren’t easy. No project sails smoothly, without rough waters. But three things: lack of resources, lack of objectiveness, and lack of talent, can sink your project long before it has a chance to prove its worth.
