Part of the For Cloud Professionals podcast series
Even with firm resolution to move to the cloud, many companies struggle with complexity management. Having a thorough understanding of your application environment and a solid strategy to get to the cloud can help. So can putting development guardrails in place and focusing on security.
To tame cloud complexity, sound strategy and security are essential
It’s becoming a multi-cloud world, but many companies still struggle with operational complexity and consistently delivering high-performing, secure application environments. Legacy applications that are core to the business, but hard to migrate, only exacerbate the problems. In this episode of the podcast, David Linthicum and guest, F5 Networks’ Kara Sprague, discuss how F5 is helping companies navigate cloud complexity and deliver high-performing, secure apps that have tremendous synergy—whether they’re on-prem or in the cloud. Kara’s advice: understand your app portfolio and environment, migrate thoughtfully, put effective application development guardrails in place, and focus squarely on security.
Over time the challenge of enterprise IT is becoming how do you manage applications and services and deliver them with high quality performance and security on top of a very heterogenous mixture of infrastructure environments?
Kara Sprague is Executive Vice President and General Manager of F5’s Application Services business unit, responsible for the company’s ADC and Security product portfolio management, product and solutions. She holds two masters degrees from MIT and serves on the board of Girls Who Code.
