Hybrid Multicloud Adoption

Prelude

  • This blog discusses the importance of hybrid multicloud to accelerate business transformation. 
  • The discussion assumes that the readers are well versed with cloud technology concepts as well as the business value and challenges related to modernizing applications using cloud technologies.
  • This blog focuses only on the concept of multicloud, which adds new dimensions of complexity and value as opposed to leveraging a single cloud provider.

Evolution of Hybrid Multicloud

The evolution of cloud computing started with the utility computing concept. It began from the concept of dedicated resources vs. shared resource platforms. Businesses have embraced cloud platforms including private, public, hybrid, and hybrid multicloud.

In a simple term, a hybrid multicloud is the use of hybrid cloud and multicloud models as depicted in diagram 1.

KubeMQ Bridges for Edge Computing

Introduction

For years, companies have been moving to the cloud. With the ubiquity of internet-connected devices, it seems only natural to rely on cloud-based services for the majority of applications today. However, the rise of edge computing has demonstrated that there is also a need for hyper-local, distributed computing which can offer latencies and resilience that the cloud cannot match. With these benefits come ever-increasing complexity both in terms of individual application development as well as overall infrastructure management.

In this article, we’ll take a look at the unique benefits and challenges of edge computing, as well as how a lightweight, Kubernetes-based messaging queue can meet those challenges.

Why Is a Hybrid Cloud Approach the Best for Cloud?

A hybrid approach to cloud incorporates the benefits of public cloud services, enterprise-controlled private clouds, and the once-dominant dedicated hosting services. Hybrid approaches have been all the rage in the last couple of years as enterprises can avail the advantages of each service while minimizing risk levels. With a hybrid cloud, an enterprise’s data and resources are split between the three forms of storage.

Concern over security has been one of the biggest concerns for businesses that are contemplating a switch to hybrid cloud. After all, the path to public cloud computing can be quite scary for enterprises that are worried about potential threats in a public network spilling over to their network. Concerns over the security of public clouds have led to the rise in popularity of hybrid cloud models.

Hybrid Cloud: Balancing On-Premises and Cloud Service Providers

If you think multi-cloud applications are already very flexible, wait until you really explore the advantages offered by hybrid multi-cloud. Hybrid multi-cloud, or simply hybrid cloud, combines cloud computing resources with on-premises infrastructure. There are a lot of reasons why the hybrid cloud is highly beneficial.

When you have a lot of data to process, for instance, relying on a hybrid cloud environment provides the best balance between performance and flexibility. In specific applications such as vision AI, the hybrid cloud lets users benefit from real-time, on-premises processing while keeping the system open and flexible enough using the cloud.

Hybrid Cloud: Cloud Rolls Out To Data Centers in Different Hues

The term "hybrid cloud" in popular vocabulary represents a topology in which an organization's IT infrastructure is spread over public cloud(s) and on-premise data centers. An on-premise datacenter can include the enterprise's own data center or any colocation facility used by the enterprise. Hybrid has also lately been extended to include edge locations whether in a device or in a telecom provider's location. These variants are sometimes also referred to as "private cloud."

Although in a utopian world, the complete data center can be placed in the cloud, in reality, there are invariably some use cases that require workloads to be running on-premise. This is especially true of large enterprises that have considerable IT assets many of which need to continue to reside in the private cloud for various reasons.
