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.

Exploring a big data analytics solution for the healthcare industry

We have taken the Landorous use case mentioned in the first chapter for this section. The backup solution for healthcare use cases has several requirements, as described in Table 6.8:

Table 6.8 – The functional requirements for the backup solution

What needs to be backed up

There are different types of data and files for this use case. The list of workloads that need to have an associated backup solution is as follows:

  • All configuration and log files in the container platform.
  • All Postgres instances on the respective container platform.
  • All files located on the respective systems/servers.
  • All virtual machine instances on the respective systems/clusters.
  • All filesystem backups of the AIX, Linux, and Wintel servers on the OS level.
