The “unanticipated” costs of not doing the prep work are legion: egress charges, (semi-) failed moves, moving the wrong things/combinations at the wrong times, failure to capture service costs pre-move for comparison, and so many more. 2 Do they have enterprise architecture expertise?

Comparisons and options should be considered using real data. If you and your team are dealing with Digital Transformation , a cloud brokerage platform can help by using real data to profile your workloads. It will also enable data-driven decisions on best-fit architectures, technology choices and deployment models.

Consistent infrastructure is better suited to consistent applications with a “build once, run anywhere” application architecture, whereas migration capabilities deliver two-way movement, as needs and business circumstances determine, subject to vendor capabilities or penalties!

Although consolidation, outsourcing and IT efficiencies may reduce the number of corporately owned data centers, a hybrid operational environment will still remain. As enterprises adopt both private and public clouds, they typically do not throw away their in-house infrastructure.

An apples to apples comparison of the costs associated with running various usage patterns on-premises and with AWS requires more than a simple comparison of hardware expense versus always-on utility pricing for compute and storage.

This is my usual collection of links, thoughts, rants, and ideas about data center-related technologies. I might have mentioned this before, but Ken Pepple’s OpenStack Folsom architecture post is just awesome. Is this the beginning of the data center fractal edge ? in the comparison, even though RHEV 3.1

In any case, here’s another collection of links and articles from around the Net on the major data center technology areas. Personally, I think it’s an apples-to-oranges comparison, since Kubernetes is more than just a scheduler (think about replication controllers and services and such), but to each his own. Have fun reading!

Eskilden freely acknowledges that moving to a microservices-based architecture increases complexity and is not “free”. In order to help address the complexity brought on by microservices-based architectures, Eskilden wants to talk about resiliency, service discovery, and routing. but it ends up that Shopify settled on DNS.

PaaS can help with microservice architectures, because PaaS often provides things like service discovery and other “glue” necessary to stitch all the various pieces together. That, in turn, leads to wanting to be able to manage and place the workload intelligently based on data from any level—i.e., PaaS increases efficiency.

Instability and jitter are among the biggest issues impacting service assurance and network architecture, hindering the digital transformation process across industries. That’s a big difference.

And if cloud computing is about computers far away from you in data centers, the edge is about the computers closest to you — like Windows PCs. The billion-plus users of Windows, for sure, we think of from a distributed computing architecture perspective as the edge of Azure. So that’s, I think, absolutely right.

People are making that comparison very directly. And then in other areas of a sort of broad scale re-architecture, for lack of a better word, we do have to think in years. If I made the comparison to Wikipedia, would that be directionally correct? Twitter is one of the best distribution networks for that kind of work.
