Deal with supply chain issues using cloud computing
As the pandemic winds down, we learn what we did right and wrong with supply chain management. Many are now bolstering their supply chains with cloud computing.
Complexity is the biggest threat to cloud success and security
Just when we thought cloud computing could take a post-pandemic victory lap, we now face the largest challenge to date.
The public cloud could evolve like streaming services
More competition and commoditization in the public cloud’s marketplace may create a model more like Netflix and Apple TV.
Is it possible to automate all of cloud operations?
As automation gets better and humans withdraw from the process, we could achieve almost 100% automation of cloudops and secops in just a few short years.
Finding shareable solution patterns in cloud architecture
Want to stop reinventing the wheel? Find patterns of solutions that can be repeated in multiple projects.
Most cloud security problems breathe
Humans are more of a problem for cloud security than we think. Here’s how to deal with the walking, talking risks to cloud data theft.
What ‘cross-cloud’ architects need to know
As the cloud computing space evolves, the necessary skills do, too. Understanding multiple clouds, security, and governance are the tip of the iceberg.
In search of good cybersecurity
With the rise of international threats, enterprises and governments are finally understanding that the most effective information security is in the public cloud.
Defining ‘value’ with cloud architecture
How bicycle repair illustrates the concept of value. Understanding value in cloud architecture could mean the difference between success and failure.
Don’t migrate your problems to the cloud
Many look to cloud computing as the way to fix issues with data and systems, but migrating an existing problem may not be in your best interest.
It's time to get more aggressive with Kubernetes
By now, Kubernetes is pretty mature. It's time to take some risks and develop the next generation of applications. Perhaps we can weaponize it to build a better business.
When not to use edge computing
Enterprises are pushing the edge—edge devices, edge clouds, local systems on the edge. Proceed with your eyes wide open.
Is cloud architecture binary or analog?
We are getting better at cloud architecture, and some hope it can be boiled down to a set of preprogrammed processes. But designing an optimized system is still mostly an art.
How to be an in-demand cloud geek
Some pragmatic advice on earning the most money and finding the best cloud computing career path.
Edge computing can be a data cache for public clouds
Better performance and reliability plus lower costs and greater security make this architecture worth keeping in the toolbox.
3 cloud architecture mistakes we all make, but shouldn’t
Are we getting good at cloud architecture, or do we still have a lot to learn?
Edge computing archetypes are emerging, and they are not pretty
As edge computing explodes, we’re faced with complexity, security, and management challenges that don’t have easy answers.
Pulling devops and multicloud together
Multicloud is more than just additional deployment platforms. Making devops work effectively with multicloud is trickier than many people think.
Moving cloud resources to an ‘edge cloud center’ near you
Most points of presence are in urban areas, but a more distributed workforce relocating into rural regions has sparked the rise of smaller cloud centers that provide local processing.
