Digital businesses now have real-time accountability understanding what is happening in their business the moment it happens. It is a lack of the velocity, veracity and variety of their data makes it easy to fall behind. This intelligence gap, which impedes the real-time decision-making required for modern on-demand, customer experiences, but that the industry is recognizing that continuous intelligence as a strategy and capability is the best way to close this gap.
3 Maxims for Multicloud DevOps
- Build for Cloud-Native Scale and Beware the Sticky Public Cloud SaaP Cloud-native apps can only scale as well as their infrastructure allows. And in a simple way across multicloud to include both public and private clouds. By implementing an evolvable architecture today, teams can avoid a painful reinvention of their infrastructure when larger scale is required.
- BYO Tools and Processes Using your own tools and processes—open source and even proprietary—across the multicloud allows you to maintain portability through public and private clouds, increasing your flexibility and potential reuse with legacy systems. Evaluate public cloud services, like choices of proprietary tooling. Place bets when they implement open-source APIs or offer truly differentiated services.
- Harmonize Policy and People Harmonize policy and people skills between multiple cloud domains. Once you have a multicloud unified toolchain and processes, interfaces and workflow provisioning, security, and compliance are a natural extension. Cloud management meta-platforms may add another layer of ease on top of this but are not a replacement.
Cloud Native App Containerization “Multi-cloud and open source technologies, specifically Kubernetes and Cloud native containers, are hand-in-hand dramatically reshaping the future of the modern application stack. For companies, the increased adoption of services to enable and secure a multi-cloud strategy are adding more complexity and noise, which current legacy analytics solutions can’t handle. To address this complexity, companies will need a continuous intelligence strategy that consolidates all of their data into a single pane of glass to close the intelligence gap.”
Based on anonymized data from more than 2,000 customers and 100,000 users running on AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP):
multi-cloud is growing faster than any other modern infrastructure category
enterprise adoption and deployments of multi-cloud grew 50% year-over-year.
Kubernetes is highly prevalent in multi-cloud environments
As customers adopt multi-cloud, Kubernetes adoption significantly rises. Enterprises are betting on Kubernetes to drive their multi-cloud strategies:
- 20% of customers in AWS-only environment use Kubernetes
- 23% of customers on AWS and Azure use Kubernetes
- 59% of customers on AWS and GCP use Kubernetes
- more than 80% of customers on all three clouds use Kubernetes.
Open source has disrupted the modern application stack:
- 4 of the 6 tiers that make up the modern application stack have been disrupted by
open source
- open source solutions for containers, orchestration, infrastructure and application
services are leading this transformation.
Enterprises only use 15 out of 150+ available AWS cloud-native services:
- adoption of individual IaaS services suggest enterprises are trying to
avoid vendor lock-in.
- basic compute, storage, database and network services make up top 10 adopted
services in AWS.
- the top AWS cloud-native services used: EC2, RDS, IAM, STS, Cloud Formation.
Serverless adoption has reached a tipping point:
- serverless architectures continue to grow at a rapid pace as a cost-effective
option to speed cloud and DevOps deployment automation.
- AWS Lambda adoption grew to 36% in 2019, up 12% from 2017
- 1-in-3 enterprises are using serverless in production
- AWS Lambda is also being used in several non-production use cases and has become
one of the top 10 AWS services by adoption.
The PetaCMS platform is uniquely designed to allow a transparent fusion between private and multicloud. DevOps teams can simply continue innovating without wasting time connection o the Cloud domain.
