Wondering how to make your way through the cloud computing training maze? Here’s how to get the most out of training for the least amount of money and time.
We have enough experience with multicloud that there are no more surprises, right? The ideas that multicloud prevents lock-in, is cheaper, and is more resilient are still out there.
Recent survey data indicates that cloud will push traditional enterprise data centers into extinction. However, extinction events are rarely that simple.
Yesterday we built architectures around static requirements that changed slowly. Today's cloud-based configurations need to quickly adapt to growth and change.
After a small decline in 2021, cloud spending is up again, but perhaps not for the reasons we expected, which are often based on faulty assumptions.
This new trend is an old trend. Industry-specific services are now being offered by the big cloud providers, giving companies more benefits with less risk.
Just getting a cloud deployment to work is no longer the goal. Focus on new metrics and approaches to build and deploy an optimal solution.
The six Rs are a common part of cloud migration plans. However, perhaps it’s time to pay more attention to what each workload specifically needs.
There’s a lot of hype around 5G and how it applies to technologies such as cloud. Together, they have the potential to reshape distributed, complex systems.
Residential construction is ripe for cloud computing disruption. The cloud can play a more significant role as we get closer to automated delivery of housing.
A single answer to technical questions, cheaper security, and skills on demand are the biggest items on the 2022 wish lists.
We need to focus on objectivity when we select technology, recognizing that humans can be easily swayed.
Every December I see obvious forecasts mostly from PR firms. It’s time for some targeted predictions about governance and cloudops as we enter a new year.

Serverless computing just turned seven. Let’s examine when, where, and what to use it for today.
Cloud architects and hiring managers are shooting themselves in the foot by designing too-complex cloud solutions that need specialized skills.
Costs, complexity, and lack of skills are prompting enterprises to press pause on their move to cloud.
Using the cloud to link widely distributed compute instances as a virtual supercomputer opens new possibilities to those without deep pockets.
With 2022 looking like the year of multicloud, enterprises need a solid plan for multicloud security.
Many traditional enterprises see monetary opportunities to incorporate their market knowledge into new or specialized SaaS applications and data sets.
Containers go beyond the hype to move enterprises forward with cloud-native applications. Abstracting services with them could commoditize public clouds.
It’s hard to get products that require processing chips—from trucks to toasters. Compute and storage servers are pinched, too, but the big providers have protections the little guys don't.
Most companies are using multicloud, but only some of them planned for it. This lack of foresight and centralized coordination can kill a business.
Too few people doing container development are paying attention to security issues. Doubling down on scanning at every stage is a simple solution.
