Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure and Operations Explained

By: Mansura Habiba

Overview of this book

Most organizations are now either moving to the cloud through modernization or building their apps in the cloud. Hybrid cloud is one of the best approaches for cloud migration and the modernization journey for any enterprise. This is why, along with coding skills, developers need to know the big picture of cloud footprint and be aware of the integration models between apps in a hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure. This book represents an overview of your end-to-end journey to the cloud. To be future agnostic, the journey starts with a hybrid cloud. You'll gain an overall understanding of how to approach migration to the cloud using hybrid cloud technologies from IBM and Red Hat. Next, you’ll be able to explore the challenges, requirements (both functional and non-functional), and the process of app modernization for enterprises by analyzing various use cases. The book then provides you with insights into the different reference solutions for app modernization on the cloud, which will help you to learn how to design and implement patterns and best practices in your job. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to successfully modernize applications and cloud infrastructure in hyperscaler public clouds such as IBM and hybrid clouds using Red Hat technologies as well as develop secure applications for cloud environments.

Implementing observability and governance

Monitoring and observability are the most effective ways to understand the state of the platform at any time. Therefore, each component, service, application, and piece of data should be monitored continuously. Here are some requirements for different component monitoring:

Table 9.8 – List of activities for observability implementation of a modern cloud infrastructure

All these activities need to be managed and monitored from a central location so that it is possible to enforce proper governance; otherwise, there will be chaos. A central visualization for all different fundamental aspects of observability and governance can ensure better effectiveness and efficiency. The next section will discuss having a central dashboard for observability and governance.

Dashboard

A central visualization of the health of the entire platform is essential for the cloud platform. It provides the overall...
