Multicloud
Get used to cloud vendor lock-in
The only certainties in life are death, taxes, and cloud lock-in. Let’s look at the reasons behind lock-in reality and why it’s so difficult to avoid.
3 wins and 3 losses for cloud computing
The good, the bad, and the ugly of a decade of cloud computing: Security and agility are definite wins, but cost and complexity are serious drawbacks.
3 multicloud lessons for cloud architects
Designing and deploying a single cloud architecture may not prepare you to take on a multicloud, especially where security and cost optimization are concerned.
Complex cloud architecture is finally causing budgetary pain
Multicloud complexity is moving from a theoretical cloud architecture problem to a financial one, and businesses are suddenly searching for solutions.
What goes in a metacloud?
A lot of hype is swirling around the new ‘metacloud’ or ‘supercloud’ buzzword. Let’s just focus on what should go into a cross-cloud technology stack.
Why devops needs a better approach to cloud networking
A full-stack networking platform with machine learning, autonomous capabilities, and multicloud support allows devops engineers to focus on what matters most—building applications.
Partitioning for performance in a sharding database system
Partitioning can provide a number of benefits to a sharding system, including faster query execution. Let’s see how it works.
It’s past time to figure out cross-cloud security
The people deploying multicloud will tell you that 'security is a nightmare.' Cross-cloud abstraction and automation of security services is the right solution.
What is cloud computing? Everything you need to know now
Cloud computing has become the ideal way to deliver enterprise applications—and the preferred solution for companies extending their infrastructure or launching new innovations.
Responding to your feedback on ‘metacloud’
My last post about the emerging ‘metacloud’ or ‘supercloud’ struck a nerve. Here’s a follow-up to your comments and questions about the future of cloud-based systems.
The next frontier in cloud computing
Supercloud? Metacloud? The race is on to name the emerging layer of abstraction and automation that will remove the complexity of multicloud.
What happens when there’s not enough cloud?
Multicloud may be the answer to the struggle to keep up with the overwhelming demand for cloud resources.
Complexity leads to cloud outages. Here’s the proof
Complexity is a natural byproduct of a highly heterogeneous and distributed architecture. Now we better understand its impact.
Legacy systems should be part of a multicloud strategy
Multicloud is the direction many enterprises are heading, but legacy systems need to be part of the road map.
Multicloud complexity is a major operational challenge
Multicloud is everywhere, but the complexity, risks, and costs are becoming big concerns. Your best bet is to plan carefully and fix problems before you migrate.
Thoughtworks weighs in on multicloud
Multicloud requires a lot of specialized work to be successful, but there’s really no alternative.

The biggest multicloud mistake people are making
To optimize your multicloud architecture, know what your business specifically needs, and avoid the trap of 'vendor think.'
