Multi-Cloud Architecture and Governance

By: Jeroen Mulder

Overview of this book

Multi-cloud has emerged as one of the top cloud computing trends, with businesses wanting to reduce their reliance on only one vendor. But when organizations shift to multiple cloud services without a clear strategy, they may face certain difficulties, in terms of how to stay in control, how to keep all the different components secure, and how to execute the cross-cloud development of applications. This book combines best practices from different cloud adoption frameworks to help you find solutions to these problems. With step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples, you’ll begin by planning the foundation, creating the architecture, designing the governance model, and implementing tools, processes, and technologies to manage multi-cloud environments. You’ll then discover how to design workload environments using different cloud propositions, understand how to optimize the use of these cloud technologies, and automate and monitor the environments. As you advance, you’ll delve into multi-cloud governance, defining clear demarcation models and management processes. Finally, you’ll learn about managing identities in multi-cloud: who’s doing what, why, when, and where. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to create, implement, and manage multi-cloud architectures with confidence

Questions

  1. AIOps correlates data from a lot of different systems, including IT systems that are not directly in the delivery chain of an application, but might be impacted by changes to that chain. What are these systems called in terms of AIOps definitions?
  2. Name at least two vendors of AIOps systems, recognized as such by market analysts.
  3. AIOps works in layers. Rate the following statement true or false: most AIOps systems have separate solutions for the layers that are combined in an AIOps platform.
  4. In terms of the level of automation, would you rate NoOps before or after AIOps?
