Cloud has put the systems architect at the center of success
Before cloud, system architects lived by rigid system requirements—receive them, build to spec, and move on. That was their world. However, with the ascendance of cloud, that world has changed. Architects are now expected to be just as smart and agile as the applications they build. In this episode, David Linthicum and guest, Deloitte’s Vishveshwara Vasa, discuss the ever-changing, ever-expanding role of the system architect in the world built by cloud. According to Vishveshwara, architects have to be just as well-versed in the business as they are in cloud technology. And, to stay relevant, they have to hone their communication skills and continuously expand their knowledge base—both from a business and technical perspective.
It's very important that, as an architect, you understand both the functional side and the non-functional side requirements and then architect according to the needs of the business and the business case.
Build the future with scalable, resilient cloud architectures
Developing scalable, efficient cloud architectures requires fresh thinking to help create robust cloud architectures that produce more value from the cloud.
Modernizing your architecture? Think hybrid and multi-cloud
As the panoply of cloud vendors and products grows ever larger, so does cloud complexity. A strategy that incorporates multiple cloud models can help reduce that complexity.
Put Cloud in context with the future of business and technology
Because cloud is never just about cloud, a podcast about cloud isn’t either. Our two hosts deliver two unique perspectives to help bring you closer to achieving what matters most—your possible.
For Cloud Professionals, hosted by David Linthicum, provides an enterprise-level, strategic look at key issues impacting clients’ businesses. David, ranked as the #1 cloud influencer in a recent Apollo Research report, has published 13 books on computing, written over 5,000 published articles and performed over 500 conference presentations, making his specialization in the power of cloud simply undeniable.
As a pioneer in cloud computing, Mike Kavis leads Architecting the Cloud, which offers insights from the POV of those who’ve had hands-on experience with cloud technology. Mike’s personal cloud journey includes leading the team that built the world's first high-speed transaction network in Amazon's public cloud—a project that ultimately won the 2010 AWS Global Startup Challenge.
