Why We Fail: How an architect learned to stop worrying and love the cloudAlex Jauch
Private cloud has been the “up and coming” trend for several years. You would think this would mean we’re all running clouds inside our firewalls by now. In reality, this hasn’t happened. Why? Where are all the clouds? All the technical skills that the IT folks need to get this done are normally in house or easily accessible to them. So you would think that private clouds would be super common. Turns out they are not. Only a very small minority of IT organizations have deployed successful internal Private Clouds. There are notable exceptions, but they’re just that, exceptions. Why is this so hard? Why can’t folks get this done in their sleep? In this book, we will explore the reasons why we fail and how to overcome these obstacles to success in our private cloud deployments.
This document discusses how IT operations are becoming more complex with the rise of cloud computing and virtualization. It notes that managing technologies across on-premises and cloud environments introduces challenges around monitoring, automation, and maintaining processes. The document also discusses how NetEnrich provides services to help companies operationalize their virtual and cloud environments through consulting, monitoring, security, and managing the full lifecycle of virtual machines and cloud workloads.

This document discusses how large organizations can balance flexibility and oversight when adopting cloud technologies. While cloud offers benefits like on-demand resources and pay-as-you-go models, it can undermine IT's control if not properly governed. Effective cloud initiatives must be integrated into existing service delivery models and governance mechanisms are needed to ensure alignment with business needs over time. Key areas for governance include demand management, capacity planning, service level management, and invoice/chargeback management. Governance helps organizations maximize cloud benefits while mitigating risks.
Cloud Computing is a model that provides convenient, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources like networks, servers, storage, applications and services. These resources can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. Cloud services are typically categorized as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), or Software as a Service (SaaS). Cloud computing provides benefits like reduced costs, increased flexibility and scalability, but some organizations have needs that require a hybrid cloud or dedicated hosting approach for security, customization or reliability needs.
Risk Enterprise Management implemented VMware on NetApp to virtualize their server infrastructure, eliminating 35 physical servers and saving over $120,000 annually in lease and power costs. The new environment accelerated application deployment from 3 weeks to under an hour and improved disaster recovery capabilities. NetApp storage provided high availability, fast backup/recovery, and flexible storage allocation. REM achieved a two-year ROI and eliminated their annual 15-20% rise in IT costs.
The document discusses how mobile testing has progressed through three phases similar to how web testing evolved:
1) Discovery - Early experimentation with simple mobile apps and minimal testing.
2) Support core business - Mobile now supports key business processes but testing is still limited and siloed.
3) Drive new business - Mobile experiences are now engaging, transactional, and integrated with social media. Testing is structured, methodological and uses strong tooling to address complex challenges like platform fragmentation, varied devices, and user experience.

The document discusses how cloud computing will impact the roles and responsibilities of internal IT departments. It uses a component business model to analyze the functions of a typical IT department. It finds that many operational components will no longer be needed as IT services move to external cloud providers. However, strategic components around understanding business needs, managing vendor relationships, and ensuring cloud services continue to support business strategy will be more important. The IT department of the future will be smaller but still play an important role in aligning cloud services with business requirements.

A hybrid cloud combines private and public clouds to provide flexibility, agility and cost control. However, operational silos, complex application management and lack of portability limit its effectiveness. To address these challenges, enterprises should unify infrastructure management across clouds with a single control plane. This allows monitoring, managing and orchestrating all environments with the same tools. Choosing a solution like unified cloud management or a unified platform like Kubernetes can provide the necessary abstraction and standardization to improve hybrid cloud operations.
