The public cloud, contrary to perception, doesn’t make management easier; in most cases, it’s just the opposite, according to Wally McDermid, VP Cloud Business Development for Scality. And when it comes to multi-cloud scenarios, things just get hairier. Wally discusses these difficulties with ActualTech Media Partner James Green in this episode of “10 on Tech.” It includes these key features needed in a proper multi-cloud management tool: * Small number of APIs * Data stored in an open, readable format * Deployment flexibility, both on-premises and in the cloud * An open source version available, to avoid lock-in Wally also details some of Scality’s success stories and how they’ve saved customers both grief and money. Highlights of the show include: * Why data is the most challenging part of multi-cloud management * Applications don’t change often, but data does—and quickly * The growing problem of government regulations * Why fewer APIs are better * How customers are using Scality to manage their clouds Resource links from the show: Scality homepage -- https://www.scality.com/ The Zenko GitHub project -- https://github.com/scality/Zenko Zenko sandbox environment -- https://www.zenko.io/try-zenko/ Solved: The Scality Magazine -- https://www.scality.com/solved/ We hope you enjoy this episode; and don’t forget to subscribe to the show on iTunes, Google Play, or Stitcher.­
