Those cloud computing should pay attention to ...

Saying that in fact the concept of cloud computing is not particularly clear, but there are many manufacturers still remain in speculation. And I also believe that cloud computing will indeed bring great shock to the entire IT industry. However, this kind of shock to the industry depends on whether it is abroad or domestic.

Abroad, there are indeed many companies that have deployed their IT systems to Amazon, such as Netflix, thereby saving a lot of labor and manpower costs. However, at home, for well-known policy reasons, if the IT system is hosted on a third party, the business always feels unsafe. Therefore, it is not common in China to use Amazon in such large quantities as abroad. As a result, the employment impact in China is not yet obvious at present. However, in the long run, some IT outsourcing systems may have some impact.

And for the job, the first thing cloud computing will affect will be those IT administrators and system maintenance staff. But again, the cloud computing company will need a large number of more advanced IT administrators and operations staff. The demand of those basic administrators and operation and maintenance personnel will actually decrease.

For developers, you may need to learn more about cloud computing development. This is the same as using ASP to develop webpages until now, and basically they are not in the market yet. However, these people have not been unemployed and have just moved to more advanced development.

As an architect, I also want to talk about the risks that architects may face in this job.

Cost problem. While most of the hype and articles are talking about how cloud computing is cheap, cloud computing does not help architects solve too many problems. In the face of cloud computing, the same need to design the system according to the characteristics of cloud computing to meet business needs, with the minimum resources to meet the maximum business. Although the cloud computing can be well extended, but still to ensure the performance of the system, otherwise the objective costs are not as good as without cloud computing.

safe question. Cloud computing providers do not guarantee 100% high availability, so you have to be prepared to deal with high availability issues. For the safety of the data itself, to ensure that manufacturers are not leaked.

Migration issues. When you choose a cloud computing service provider, once put into use, you can also migrate to another one, the cost is how high? If it was a bundle, it would be a nightmare. I believe cloud computing vendors want to put their customers tied up. Domestic policy regulation. Cloud computing vendors will not be overnight to be closed, so you suffered a catastrophe.

Compensation issues. If there are major issues, the issue of compensation for the loss.
