Cloud computing Company: not enough for a dozen

We've all heard the phrase: Don't put all your eggs in one basket. This is a simple and profound implication, but many of us forget this, mainly because we think it is difficult to "not happen to me" or to find the same alternatives. Such ideas are common in cloud computing. If you are willing to put a little upfront work into your cloud, then you will be the winner of the future.

Cloud providers will be happy to tell you that you can safely use their cloud services.

With countless solutions available today, companies such as Joyent, Amazon, Rackspace, VMware, Hewlett-Packard, Cloudsigma, Cloudproviders can address some of the application requirements alone, But did not hear any of these vendors committed to reducing the risk of your cloud across other solutions. They choose a hybrid cloud, or a mix of public and private clouds, but they avoid the risk when they introduce it, which is an additional positioning like the cloud. But to be fair, I don't blame cloud vendors who have ensured that our business risks are effectively managed and we cannot ignore the efforts of cloud providers.

A cloud-even a distributed one?

This is where all the eggs are placed in one basket, regardless of whether the basket has the inherent risk of marketing. Any single technology platform poses the risk of a single platform-specific problem that can have a negative impact. I've seen too many problems in my business or even after a successful test, and the reality is that in most cases you just can't test every potential environment or usage. So, regardless of how partitions or areas are distributed, the risk remains. As the saying goes, the strength of a chain depends on its weakest link.

As you develop the technology ecosystem and the fluids that call your IT operations model, you should create a part of adopting and using multiple platform strategies to help you reduce the risk of using a single vendor. However, reducing the risk of downtime is not the only reason why you should look for a multiple http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/14226.html "> Cloud Solution." If you have developed an environment where you can use multiple clouds to enrich your ecosystem, and possibly better distribute your workload and take advantage of geographical diversity, better serve your customers.

Sounds good, but how can I manage multiple clouds?

The ability of the IT blog mentioned in the fluid to absorb new technologies and seamless connectivity of the platform is critical. It's worth noting that the faster you can deploy your critical infrastructure, the more likely you are to get your business into trouble faster, which is why a strong management platform is critical.

All cloud needs a powerful management platform that helps automate and manage specific aspects of code deployment. A powerful management platform becomes even more important when trying to spread one or more applications across the cloud. If you don't have a wide range of management tools, it makes you shudder. Another way to achieve this is to manually and quickly deploy the infrastructure, just like a Ferrari driving on a crowded road. Yes, Ferrari is fast, but don't hit the road during rush hour.

So you shouldn't just be a cloud, but you don't use any cloud-weak management tools, or worse yet, try to manually make your strategy, management, change management, and capacity planning.

Is it really worth it?

There are countless benefits to using the cloud provided by several different vendors, such as reducing risk, getting the right infrastructure, getting the best service at the best price, and optimizing allocations to resolve latency issues. However, there is no simple solution that allows multiple clouds to work for any individual, and this effort takes time and hard work. So, even if your primary goal is to spread your risk, it's best to hire rabbits (cloud management) that can manage the same controls, governance, and policies, and then allocate the eggs (the amount of work) in the basket (the cloud).
