Got cloud complexity? Infrastructure pipelines can help reduce it

Cloud isn’t just cloud. It’s multi, hybrid, edge, and everything in between. The complexity can be mind-numbing. In this podcast, David Linthicum talks with RackN’s Rob Hirschfeld about how companies can use infrastructure pipelines to better standardize and manage their infrastructure ecosystems—which can significantly reduce complexity. Rob’s take is that automation is key, but it has to be standardized. Of course, infrastructure as code plays a critical role.

 

We have to have better ways to reuse and share automation and infrastructure and management technologies that then create—everybody hates the word—a single pane of glass.

Rob Hirschfeld is CEO and co-founder of RackN. He has been in the cloud and infrastructure space for over 20 years, from working with early ESX Betas to serving four terms on the OpenStack Foundation Board and as an executive at Dell.

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.
