Hybrid Cloud Strategy brings the best of both worlds into the realm of cloud computing. Here, you can use both public and private clouds in your infrastructure. While developing the services for this kind of architecture, one thing to keep in mind is their interoperability. That means services on the public cloud should seamlessly work with the services that reside on the private cloud and vice versa.

Once the interoperability of services is taken care of, it opens the door to countless benefits that you can get from this type of hybrid implementation. You can utilize the scalability and portability of the public cloud infrastructure, while at the same time, maintaining the security of the sensitive data of the company, firewalled against in your private cloud on-premise.

Choosing the right combination of clouds

The selection of an Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider is dependent on your usage type. There are multiple numbers of criteria that one may need to look at before choosing an ideal provider. Some of which are -

Robustness of the platform Security on the network Whether they are following best practices or not Their SLA Flexibility for the developers How easily the integration can be done Interoperability with the private or other cloud platforms Usability Functionality

The order of these criteria entirely depends on your use case. To rearrange this list according to your priority.

“Moving Computation is Cheaper than moving data”

Once you are using the cloud, you will be storing a huge amount of data online. According to the principle of “code moving to data”, if your code is smaller (which typically is) as compared to the data you have, It is wise to move your code to the cloud rather than moving your data to the code.

By moving code to the cloud, every node will be able to replicate it for its own execution independent of others. Hence it will decrease any latency significantly because there is no need to send code on demand.

Observability, Monitoring, and Analytics

When you are running an IT business as complex as a nation, you need an eagle’s eye to capture every detail of what’s happening within your workflow. And this comes with the integration of the right tools into your infrastructure. Tools that can help you track a system’s health in microseconds, so whenever any catastrophe happens, you know where to look.

In any case, as I said prior, we are managing the “complex” frameworks here. That implies we will manage the BigData. Each endeavor has its own inclinations and nobody needs to be controlled by the pre-planned UI given by a product.

Henceforth, you should search for stages that can furnish you with an adaptable lightweight UI where the portrayal of factual or authentic information is in your own hands. Tools that let you structure incredible dashboards for continuous synopsis and summarizations.

Along with all this, drill-down capabilities for exploring multi-dimensional data is crucial in any reporting tool for gaining more helpful insights. This feature not only reduces the load from the server by not sending all of the data at once but also helps us see the bigger picture.
