Scaling the supercloud with speed

The next generation of cloud is aptly described as “supercloud” – a term that reflects the evolution from the traditional data center style model, with a few large distributions of infrastructure and workload at a few locations, to one with a large number of microsites and types of deployment, including public, private, on-prem or edge. The term's popularity is growing as quickly as new innovations that enable customers to utilize it at scale.

In this session, theCUBE's John Furrier is joined by Madhura Maskasky, co-founder and vice president of product at Platform9 Systems, who explains why the term supercloud is a good fit for the next generation of cloud. 

The size of the cloud matches the amount of opportunity for businesses who effectively harness it to streamline and secure data management and security. Still, Maskasky and Furrier also examine the challenges plaguing applications at large-scale cluster deployments, breaking down the pain points that arise when going cloud-native at scale.

Cloud acceleration-as-a-service providers like Platform9 are creating new solutions to simplify the complexity of going cloud-native at scale with tools like the recently launched Arlon, an open-source Kubernetes tool that is built on Argo CD and Cluster API. The panelists discuss the void in the market that Arlon addresses and what products like this could mean for the future of the CISO’s role.
