— Tracy Corbo, principal research analyst
at Enterprise Management Associates.
“Savvy IT organizations are devising a hybrid IT strategy that is
built on internal and external clouds”
— Gartner 2013 Cloud Planning Guide
"Three quarters of firms using IaaS today use or
plan to use a hybrid cloud strategy”
—Forrester Research, 2013
“2013: Year of the Hybrid Cloud”

• All apps run best in the public cloud
• It’s always cheaper to run on public cloud
• Everything can be automated in a public cloud/(So
who needs support?)

ROA vs. ROI

roi / roa / MC
•Return on Investment - Return on investment (ROI) is the concept of an investment
of some resource yielding a benefit to the investor.
•Return On Agility - Operational advantages that can be easily measured such as ...
• Setting up infrastructure in minutes rather than months
• Completing massive computational projects with a large number of resources quickly
• Scaling architecture up and down to provide the needed IT resources only when you need them,
• Deliver targeted IT solutions fast for individual business units
•Marginal Cost - The change in the total cost that arises when the quantity produced
changes by one unit - or the cost of producing one more unit of a good

Cost Considerations
Infrastructure
•How many customers can we serve today?
•How easy would it be to scale?
•Focus on innovation; allow cloud providers run infrastructure
•Does in-house make sense?
57

Cost Considerations
58
Developers
•Developer time translates to $$$
•Apply where it matters
•Be realistic about engineering time to do it yourself
•Choose tools that scale

The Agility Conversation
•Degree of Change Over Time
•Number of times over a period of time a business reinvents itself
•Ability to Adapt to Change
•Relative Value of Change
•Amount of revenue made as a direct result of changing the business

•Price is not Everything, Measure Agility
•Innovation Wins, Developers Are Awesome

NIST DEFINITIONS

Public CLOUD
The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for open use by
the general public It may be owned, managed, and
operated by a business, academic, or government
organization, or some combination of them. It exists on
the premises of the cloud provider.

67

Private cloud
The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use
by a single organization comprising multiple
consumers (e.g., business units). It may be owned,
managed, and operated by the organization, a third
party, or some combination of them, and it may exist
on or off premise.

69

hybrid cloud
The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or
more distinct cloud infrastructures (private, community,
or public) that remain unique entities, but are bound
together by standardized or proprietary technology
that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud
bursting for load balancing between clouds).

multi-cloud
• Solutions that combine one or more public clouds with
one or more private clouds.
• Has potential to introduce complexity -- but is it worth it?
• Is API abstraction healthy?

• Facing the same problems faced by developers:
• What version of infrastructure is in production
• Issues are found, fixed and redeployed quickly
• How do we test as we develop

• Follow development best practices:
• Tag, branch and release code that define infrastructure
• Coverage lifecycle over various stages, e.g., dev, QA, etc
• Continuously test
