Multi-Cloud Adoption Challenges for the Cloud-Native Era: Best Practices and Solution Approaches

Multi-Cloud Phenomenon For Real And Sustainable Digital Transformation

We often hear, read and sometimes experience the unique implications of digital innovation, disruption and transformation. Digital technologies and tools are becoming pervasive and persuasive. Nations across the globe are competing with one another in observing and absorbing the digital processes, platforms, and practices to build next-generation smarter systems that are inherently sensitive, perceptive, decision-making, responsive and active. All kinds of business establishments are eagerly strategizing to be elegantly digitized in their operations, offerings, and outputs. People are being made aware of the significant impacts of the digitization (edge) technologies. This technology-enablement ultimately results in a staggering amount of digitized entities (smart objects or sentient materials) ready to join in mainstream computing. These digitized elements have the innate wherewithal (internally and externally provided) to interact intelligently producing terabytes and petabytes of multi-structured data.

Now with the emergence of a bevy of powerful digital technologies, we have the state-of-the-art IT infrastructures (software-defined cloud environments), the large-scale realization of connected and embedded devices (edge or fog device clouds), a growing array of integrated and insightful data analytics platforms to extract actionable insights in time, a litany of cutting-edge tools for knowledge discovery and dissemination, accelerated software engineering through containerization and orchestration solutions, the unearthing of pioneering machine and deep learning for smarter and sophisticated software applications, etc. IT organizations are equally keen on bringing forth an arsenal of digitalization-enablement solutions and services. Institutions, innovators and individuals are overwhelmingly convinced about the tactic as well as strategic implications of digital disruptions and innovations. The articulation and accentuation of digital transformation is definitely on the climb with the enhanced understanding of the business, technical and user benefits of digital technologies such as cloud computing, data analytics (big, fast and streaming), enterprise mobility, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), microservices architecture, digital twins, block chain, etc.
