The risks of low-code and no-code development in cloud architecture
These prebuilt components simplify development and offer flexibility and speed, but watch out for scalability, security, and integration problems.
A comeback for private clouds
Enterprises facing high cloud costs are taking a more balanced look at where workloads should reside and considering repatriation to a cloud in their own data center.
Adding generative AI systems may change your cloud architecture
From data availability and security to model selection and monitoring, adding generative AI means re-examining your cloud architecture.
What happens when finops finds bad cloud architecture?
Finops practices and tools can spot inefficiencies and opportunities to optimize. Here's what to do when you find waste in cloud deployments.
The digital divide, rural businesses, and cloud computing
Rural businesses lack easy access to high-speed internet and thus cloud-based resources, causing vast disadvantages that affect the overall economy.
Centralized cloud security is now a must-have
Cloud security is largely siloed by cloud provider. Enterprises are demanding strategic approaches for complex distributed multicloud deployments.
The looming battle over where generative AI systems will run
Putting AI on cloud versus on-premises systems may seem like a simple decision, but it's much more complex (and potentially expensive).
How to tell if your cloud finops program is working
A solid finops process can keep the CFO's team happy and everyone out of jail. Too many enterprises lack a formal program, and it's time to get on board.
You can’t run away from technical debt
Like student loans and credit card balances, technical debt is holding you back or even killing your business. Unfortunately, the cloud can't always save you.
Cloud may be overpriced compared to on-premises systems
Cloud was the go-to choice for the past five years, but we could see traditional systems become more viable. Savvy architects consider all the options.
The downsides of microservices architecture
Microservices came in with a great deal of momentum a few years ago, but now we’re seeing their drawbacks for applications on cloud platforms.
How to value cloud computing services
As the costs for cloud services continue to rise, companies need to determine if the business value of those services is worth the price tag.
Downsides to using cloud autoscaling systems
Too many IT shops just accept that autoscaling systems are right for them, at least until the massive cloud bill arrives.
Are cloud architects biased?
Many cloud leaders prefer one technology selection over another, to the detriment of the business. It’s time we learn to be much more objective.
Cloud computing is no longer a slam dunk
Data center hardware is cheap and cloud costs are high, complicating the business case for public cloud usage. Here’s how to evaluate your options.
How finops affects cloud usage and repatriation
Seeing spending in real time might increase or decrease cloud utilization for enterprises. In what cases will finops recommend a return to traditional systems?
Component-based development has been a long time coming
The ability to build systems out of reusable and interchangeable parts has been growing for the past 30 years. We are finally getting there with cloud. Expect big changes in the near future.
