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.

Chapter 6: Designing and Implementing Cloud Storage Services

Organizations are massively dependent on their business, analytics, and intelligence data. They are more pervasive when using production-level data. The consistency and continuous availability of data have become a critical mission. Some say that data is the most valuable resource for the next generation. Efficient data storage is essential for the success of modernization. An organization has different data formats, structures, sources, and relevance. A modern data storage solution must ensure complete life cycle governance for each data record regardless of the storage. Organizations bet heavily on their data and information management systems. In addition to real-time data management, resilient and secure storage, analytics, and data life cycle management are critical for organizations. Different business units of an organization often use the same data for their operations. So the same data record can have different life...
