Multi Cloud Management

In my previous AWS Migration blog “ MigratingYour Existing Cloud Workloads to the AWS Cloud using Jamcracker CloudManagement Platform  I talked about how Jamcracker helps in migration to AWS using AWS native APIs. In this blog, my focus is how Jamcracker has simplified migration of the on-premise work load to AWS EKS. EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) container orchestration is relatively complex than ECS (Elastic Container Service) orchestration as most of the DevOps engineers say. With Jamcracker CMP DevOps interface, EKS cluster orchestration is simplified and migration capabilities are extended to migrate on-premise workload to the AWS EKS environment. Now Managed Cloud Service Providers can leverage migration automation of the Jamcracker Cloud Management platform. Simplified migration services can be offered in a self-service manner.   Let’s understand with the help of a use case: You have IT assets (infrastructure & application) hosted in your datacentre ha...

 Cloud First strategy kept many CIOs busy with their cloud migration work. Cloud migration projects were quite a heavy lifting for CIOs as well as their migration partners. But it accelerated good growth for Public Cloud service providers.    As per Gartner 2020 Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services , Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud continues to appear as a market leader.  Public cloud infrastructure services (IaaS) service providers are able to win the trust of CIOs since they could continuously deliver availability, reliability, security and scalability. Now enterprises have set examples for their peers and successful migrations, deployments, are available as a reference model.  With the increase in Multi-Cloud adoption, AWS has been one of the primary choices for SMBs and Enterprises to migrate their workload. AWS has also made matured technology and framework available to its users to migrate seamlessly. T...

Realm of Cloud adoption and CIOs strategy of Cloud First has created significant governance issues for enterprises. Today it’s becoming a nightmare for CIO organization to manage Cloud Governance issues. Broadly impacted Enterprises can be classified into two categories. Enterprises trying to manage by using Traditional IT methods. Enterprises trying to manage by using multiple tools. Enterprise using AWS and falling into any of the categories is not able to set their house in order. Solutions and processes they might be using are either fragmented or not built for On-demand IT. First category enterprises are using traditional IT management process which works in silos and involves manual human dependent process since lacks workflow automation. To manage visibility and spend, IT ends up creating multiple AWS accounts for departments and projects but lack of centralized administration leads to cloud sprawl and often result in budgets overrun. The second category as stated ...

The cloud offers some great benefits and advantages. For organisations to get the maximum benefit from cloud, having the right cloud governance framework and processes is absolutely crucial. The most important step in Cloud Governance is to control access to information and resources. Poor access governance results in financial and compliance risks through improper segregation of duties or when users have unauthorized access to information or other resources. While organizations are sourcing cloud services to optimize costs, they are facing a new set of challenges to contain overspending on cloud services and optimize the cloud spend. Enterprises can save a lot of money by leveraging cloud automation tools before and after spinning up cloud resources using automated cloud governance tools.  As enterprises increasingly adopt multi-clouds, there is a need to define how to manage, control, operate, optimize and secure cloud infrastructure and applications in multiple clouds....

Hybrid cloud models are one of the fastest growing cloud adoption models because they allow enterprises to build, manage, and govern entire cloud ecosystem from either the public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud services, – or a combination — that most closely fits their own computing needs. Organizations have embraced cloud services wholeheartedly and made it an active part of their IT strategy. Considering the huge momentum in cloud adoption and deployment, questions arise about the efficient management and control of these services. A combination of complex cloud infrastructure from various vendors, a couple of legacy systems, and ambiguity over individual users launching multi-cloud services independently can all create chaos and uncertainty – and lead to uncontrolled cost. It is critical that IT take proactive approach to manage cloud deployments, otherwise usage can grow out of control. If any of the challenges mentioned above reflect your organization’s situation, you nee...
