Cloud computing has Sequela? How to drug

2012 can be said to be the year of cloud computing, the concept of "cloud computing" has spread rapidly as companies have launched their own cloud services, whether it be a cloud provider or a service provider, a corporate user or a personal user, but the term cloud computing was very unfamiliar until 2007, What causes cloud computing to be so famous today. We can actually explain this problem in terms of medicine-the right remedy.

Today's enterprises have this "symptom", endless configuration, capital investment and coping with the growth of new data and new equipment, it can be said that all enterprises "common problems".

According to this symptom, our prescription is natural cloud computing, cloud computing provides a fully automated software framework, completely replace manual operation. And do not worry about the purchase of equipment inside the enterprise, both time-saving and labor-saving. So this is definitely the best way to treat a common disease. But I wonder if our CIO ever thought that the medicine the doctor prescribed was really right for your illness? Or, you eat this medicine, there are no side effects. Corporate physicians today offer some solutions to the symptoms of late-onset problems after you introduce cloud computing.

1. Plan your own content.

There are often inefficient but high cost IT operations in the IT business, and a special customization pattern is definitely the biggest enemy of automation and efficiency, so get rid of it.

Create a standard that the virtual machine http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/7155.html "> Developers choose, and the service catalog can be said to be a good choice." We recommend using Amazon's configuration to do the small, big, oversized three levels that give them the same memory and storage space. Cisco, for example, agrees, or else he will not buy the service directory provider Nesscale.

2. Create pre-packaged software stacks.

In addition to standard virtual machine configurations, pre-installed software stacks can provide many benefits for enriching these configurations: first, pre-installed software stacks can help companies standardize faster. A developer does not have to spend time to install and configure the software, and can get the job done faster by preinstalled software stacks, which is inherently advantageous. Pre-installed software stacks can prevent other faulty configuration problems after the enterprise. Third, it can be said to be the most important, it can help developers improve efficiency. Amazon's newly developed Amazon WEB Service can be said to be very meaningful, and it will later launch a new PAAs platform (Platform-service) accessory. So don't think your cloud can go forward. Think about how you can expand your infrastructure to avoid higher human consumption from now on.

3. Consolidate the new cloud environment into existing processes.

This is undoubtedly a very big challenge, and it will undoubtedly allow developers who are currently directing the development of the internal cloud environment to short that you have not been able to provide developers with a simple migration cloud application, only that the enterprise does not wholeheartedly to the cloud layout work.

And developers are not fools, for example, to develop application groups. If the development team finds that there is no place in your business that suits their cloud applications, he will find another way.

4. Sell products.

Just by creating a cloud computing environment and then guessing that your application team can accept him immediately and get started with it is absolutely impossible. The IT industry has now evolved from a monopoly to a number of competing situations, and you have a lot of options. It's important to get the consensus and acceptance of the developers, and the constant introduction of these things is the key to achieving this step.

This is not a world where people live when I build a house. It might not sound good to give him a certain sales cap, but that's better than trying to prove to them that an unused architectural environment costs so much in the meeting.

5. Provision of training

There may be times when you think the developer position is noble, and in fact, some developers are being held high up above the cloud. And then, in our experience, many developers don't understand a lot of new requirements to create an application architecture in the cloud. The provision of training can reduce the time of the department running-in, but also has a high return on investment.

The challenge is to provide appropriate training for different roles. Developers need to learn how to integrate applications into the framework of cloud management programs. Operators need to learn how to operate a combination of software and hardware.

In some ways, the above suggestions for cloud computing are more or less similar to migrating business customers to the Internet. The enthusiasm and speed with which it companies migrate to cloud services is higher than any previous platform migration response. This reflects what I wrote at the beginning of the article about the lack of computer work patterns and the thirst for cloud computing today. Only companies that migrate the cloud in the right way can get a good return.
