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..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rackspace.com\/en-us\/leadership\/angus-dorney\">Angus Dorney<\/a>, senior director at Rackspace, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerworld.com.au\/brand-post\/content\/597582\/untangling-the-complexity-of-cloud-computing\/\">told ComputerWorld<\/a> that he thought that many companies are not architecting their cloud solutions in a good way. &#8220;I think that leads to increased cost and a range of other challenges that we are seeing start to proliferate&#8230; It\u2019s not just the ongoing 24&#215;7 support of monitoring, management and troubleshooting; it\u2019s 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\u2019t just cover the architecture and physical resources an organization is using \u2013 it needs to cover aspects like identity and access management, governance, security, and audit&#8230; These are fundamental considerations that companies need to address.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a
