OpenStack maturity
VMware isn’t the only game in town anymore
Public cloud is growing faster than private cloud
Uncertainty Leads to Hybrid Cloud (Future Proofing)

Hybrid Cloud Without Compromise● Modern cloud provides
rich services beyond simple infrastructure
● Managing applications across clouds requires full lifecycle automation and management

Facing the IT Silos RealityThe OpenStack SiloOpenStack is part of a bigger hybrid cloud environment but there’s no common way to manage them
The Application SiloEach application stack is managed differently

The Orphan Child Phenomenon
Most cloud strategy is centered around the new and cool stuff e.g. containers ...
REALITY CHECK: The majority of enterprise workloads are being ignored!

The Cloud Native Stack Dilution
The future isn’t going to be any brighter...

Lessons 2: Embrace Change
It’s a world of plenty
The technology stack is going to keep on changing at an even faster pace.
You need a way to keep up with the change and adopt new technologies fast.

Learn from the iOS/Android Portability
Success
The industry learned how to achieve portability across the different platforms.
Learning from iOS/Android experience:
• Application owner vs. application consumer• The least common denominator failure (HTML5) • The importance of a native experience• Minimizing the differences doesn’t eliminate them!

Cloud Strategy Goes Beyond a Technology Choice
Technology keeps on changing.
Cloud strategy also involves:

• You still need to be at the driver seat• Manage partnerships vs. outsourcing
Partnership• Best of breed approach• Learn to partner with many• Learn to work with startups

Conclusion: .POP QUIZ!.
Which option would yield maximum cost effectiveness?
a. Convert everything to containers?b. Move all our apps to public cloud?c. Focus on greenfield apps only?d. Automate your existing and cloud
native apps on private & public cloud?
