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.

Understanding the pillars of SRE

The fundamental principle of SRE is to work more innovatively and effectively through automation. In the following subsections, we will discuss the eight pillars of SRE.

Leadership and culture

One of the crucial activities of SRE is Root Cause Analysis (RCA), where we examine all mistakes and problems to determine the root causes and contributing factors to any negative consequences. A key element is to have a blameless postmortem culture to manifest trust among all stakeholders.

Work sharing

SRE is designed to support the entire software development life cycle, ensuring the service meets the agreed-upon quality characteristics. As organizational silos are broken down, site reliability engineers share responsibility with other stakeholders such as the product owner, architect, and developer. Only strong collaboration across teams can lead to the targeted outcome.

Monitoring

Dumping all logs onto the log aggregator causes the log server...
