076 – Multi-Cloud Management Fundamentals
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
