Cloud Computing: Migration to the Cloud Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Things Become Simpler
The cloud is supposed to make IT easy. That might be the end game goal, but the process of migrating to and aligning with the cloud may actually create a world in IT that is more complex than ever.
The tasks of interconnecting the pieces can be daunting. Skills are needed to migrate to the cloud, build out the IT infrastructure, create links to on-premise machines for hybrid computing, monitor servers running on both on-premise and cloud, and integrate applications across clouds and on-premise to share data. More moving parts and systems also mean that the security needed to contain all infrastructure becomes very complex..
Angus Dorney, senior director at Rackspace, told ComputerWorld that he thought that many companies are not architecting their cloud solutions in a good way. “I think that leads to increased cost and a range of other challenges that we are seeing start to proliferate… It’s not just the ongoing 24×7 support of monitoring, management and troubleshooting; it’s the front end of their overall strategy and the approach and architecture that needs to be bedded down before they can start consuming cloud services. A good cloud strategy doesn’t just cover the architecture and physical resources an organization is using – it needs to cover aspects like identity and access management, governance, security, and audit… These are fundamental considerations that companies need to address.”
You have very contemplatively described the major aspects of cloud computing that one needs to keep in while making up a cloud architecture. Your insights about the cloud architecture are very much reasonable. Thanks for the details.
