This example leads me to the promise of multicloud platforms, namely speed, portability, scalability, and resiliency. In this configuration, you can “seamlessly” migrate vSphere based workloads using standard VMI images to/from the AWS cloud. In this example, vSphere is your management and control plane and your on-premises hardware and AWS EC2 instances comprise your integrated resource pool. A basic example is VMware’s Cloud on AWS, where you can extend your on-premises vSphere environment into the AWS cloud using EC2 instances. In short, multicloud is a collection of public and private infrastructure resources (compute, network, storage) administered via a common control and management plane.
Multicloud Platform Overviewīefore delving into what multicloud solves, I should define what a multicloud is. In this type of environment, a multicloud platform can be the difference between success and failure. But most IT shops are not well-oiled machines, they are laden with technical debt they have inefficient, often manual processes and, their investment in automation to date has fallen short of expectations. If it wasn’t, Amazon and others wouldn’t be in the market. Assuming you have a well-run IT shop and are effectively automating all routine data center activities like patch management, scaling, and monitoring, it is more cost effective to keep your data center on-premises. So Does the Multicloud Model Make Sense?įrom a purely economics perspective, multi-cloud doesn’t make sense. It isn’t happening in the shadow (as much), it’s becoming a conscious and informed decision of the business and IT together to hopefully deliver on the promise and value of digital transformation. A few years ago, we called this phenomena “shadow IT.” Today, the reality of multicloud data centers is becoming more and more the norm. Given the short tenure of C-suite execs, many CIOs are feeling the pressure to outsource IT to the cloud in order to meet more and more aggressive SLO’s, cost cutting demands, and most importantly innovation. It isn’t just Amazon, it’s Google, Azure, Virtustream, and others.
