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.

Modernization of a data hub platform with IBM Cloud Pak for Data

Data is an essential component for business applications. However, an on-premises data hub suffers from different challenges. For example, adopting new technology, including analytics and machine learning, is time-consuming and expensive. On the other hand, the cloud enables integration with new services seamlessly and in just a few clicks, reducing the time to market and enabling an organization to access insight from data. This section will discuss considerable data platform modernization on IBM Cloud. Before going into a detailed solution, let’s look at the functional and non-functional requirements for a big data hub platform.

The first step for data hub modernization using IBM Cloud Pak for Data is to understand the functional requirements for modernization. The following subsection explores all the functional requirements for the airline industry data hub modernization use case.
