Business requirements evolve over a period of time. As a result, the enterprise invests in different Cloud Services. However, this practice builds up an expense overhead as all the Cloud entities have to be separately monitored. Hence they have to look for feasible options to improve Cloud computing and availability at reasonable costs.
As the heterogeneous mix builds up in the Enterprise Cloud investments, businesses need to consciously select their dominant Cloud strategy to lower the overheads.
Hybrid Cloud strategy works out the best because it allows to share the containerized applications and workloads between the On-premise and Public Cloud and manage the setup as one entity with Kubernetes orchestration. It allows taking advantage of the evolving Public Cloud offerings through annual Public Cloud assessments vis-à-vis existing engagements.
Primary considerations in building a future proof Hybrid Cloud strategy include:
Hybrid Cloud allows enterprises to balance the workloads between the On-premise and Public Cloud service providers while taking into account the changing prices and evolving offerings at the individual service provider level. The containerized applications are hosted On-Premise with the adoption of selective features and computing resources of the Public Cloud service providers. Kubernetes allows to monitor, manage, balance the ensemble as one entity, and reduce expenditure. This Hybrid Cloud strategy allows the business to future-proof business.
Kubernetes orchestration-powered Hybrid Cloud allows managing the ensemble as one entity and the workloads to optimize the overall operational expenditure. It allows to view the ensemble holistically and take into account the evolving Service Provider features on an annual basis.
