- Avoid significant technical debt by avoiding siloed, Cloud vendor-native tools and templates
- Easily shift applications to different Clouds to keep pace with changing
business needs - Overarching tools & templates can speed up CI/CD processes
- A “good time” to adopt DevOps best practices is by taking the first step today
A ton of DevOps tools may still not solve your AGILITY challenge
Start with using Cloud-agnostic DevOps tools and templates
Stay one level above the vendor Clouds - and the silos
- Drive the use of a centralized Cloud delivery platform to avoid siloes
- Give your DevOps leaders the insights to manage the entire Cloud
delivery ecosystem - To use DevOps tools by vendor (AWS, Azure, GCP etc.) or by functional role (security, compliance, etc.) is going to slow you down
- Monitoring tools in DevOps from a centralized platform shines light on
blind spots
Arbitrage Clouds - Cut costs and be nimble with Multi-Cloud DevOps
- Use Extreme DevOps to be agile on the Cloud – Business will love you for it!
- DevOps is your lever for Cloud vendor negotiations where you can lead from
the front - And no, you are not going to be affected adversely when you have to adjust demand suddenly or face major disruptions
- Shifting workloads between your Clouds is neither a challenge to achieve, nor a “nice to have” item anymore
SREs may hold the key to Multi-Cloud DevOps agility
- Use SREs to manage a wider range of workloads by re-training your IT Administrators to become SREs
- Great DevOps and SRE talent is hard to come by. Make sure the staff you already have are delivering to high productivity!
- Talent shortage should not paralyse a DevOps function. Delegate and outsource to external parties as need be
- If not already installed, the Site Reliability Engg function can pay rich dividends
