Multi-Cloud Benefits<\/strong><\/h5>\n

There are a lot of reasons to use multiple clouds. Cloud providers have different strengths and weaknesses. Some workloads run better on one cloud platform versus another. Measuring cost to performance is important.<\/p>\n

Technology teams always want to run a workload in an optimal environment. If your cloud platform isn\u2019t enough for a specific task, there\u2019s no reason not to use another platform.<\/p>\n

No single cloud can do everything a large enterprise needs. Every company is different; thus, every cloud provider is going to fit different specifications. A multi-cloud environment allows DevOps teams to play around and figure out what works best for their workloads. Having additional options is almost always the right choice in computing.<\/p>\n

Despite the benefits, there is one complaint about multi-cloud environments. It\u2019s that workloads can end up being isolated due to compatibility issues between clouds. Proper container usage should be able to eliminate this complaint.<\/p>\n

Hybrid Cloud benefits<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A hybrid cloud allows organizations to develop the environment that suits their needs. Cloud teams can balance what they need in security<\/a>, development, and more with a hybrid cloud. Many hybrid cloud practitioners use an on-premises cloud to store sensitive data and workloads. Organizations gain a lot of flexibility for future technological advancements.<\/p>\n

Hybrid cloud can benefit organizations in any industry. It eliminates the fear in deploying a new cloud or tool because you can always fall back to what you know.<\/p>\n

Build Bridges Between Clouds<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The concept of containers itself is beneficial to hybrid and multi-cloud users. It doesn\u2019t make a lot of sense anymore to use the traditional virtual machine method. VMs are slower and use more computing power. They also don\u2019t scale as well and are difficult to move. Containers improve on VMs by running atop the OS kernel. This process makes them lightweight, portable, and faster on startup. This kind of flexibility is important for DevOps teams utilizing multiple clouds.<\/p>\n

Cloud professionals use hybrid or multi-cloud to divide apps based on cloud specialty. This doesn’t have to be the case forever though. Containers are growing in usability and have availability across clouds.<\/p>\n

For example, Kubernetes is a community-driven container technology adaptable to most cloud platforms. With so many infrastructure options available, flexibility is a necessity. Teams won’t worry about compatibility since\u00a0Kubernetes is accepted across cloud platforms.<\/p>\n

Since Kubernetes is open source, there will always be an abundance of resources and options to improve your practices. At the time of writing, there are over 63,000 commits on GitHub. The community is vast, and the technology and options are constantly growing.<\/p>\n

Cloud providers are always building new tools for Kubernetes. Thus, the viability of containers continues to expand. There are Kubernetes offerings with AWS, GCP, IBM, Azure, Alibaba, and more. These options allow developers to move workloads between clouds with ease.<\/p>\n

Managing applications\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Containers provide isolated environments between applications. This means a mistake won\u2019t be detrimental to your entire system. Kubernetes also provide increased visibility into failing deployments. Component failures aren\u2019t detrimental to your application, as the failure is isolated. You can pause or revert changes to individual containers without entirely destabilizing functionality.<\/p>\n

There is also flexibility in where you can run your containers. You can utilize on-premises, hybrid, or cloud infrastructures. Having a faster and more efficient environment to work will speed up releases. Also, isolating applications into OS-level virtualization is more secure. Technology like this is perfect for supporting DevOps success.<\/p>\n

Containers and Kubernetes allow DevOps teams to work faster and more efficiently. Apps will improve as it\u2019s much easier to discover and fix problems in development. The constant influx of new tools and security options also allow teams to have peace of mind when it comes to deployment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
