The other commenters mention multi-cloud use cases but another case is prem-cloud hybrid. You may want some of your business on prem for whatever reason but be able to move workloads to various clouds and back, for price, load, or whatever reason.
- jstx1 5y agoSo if that’s the set-up (on-prem + a cloud provider), what’s being sold as a hybrid cloud solution - some services that allow you to manage them better or something else? What are some examples?
- Closi 5y agoChips that are architecturally similar / behave like the cloud platforms, and they are claiming it is designed to allow a higher container density (i.e. run more containers at once, where some of those containers might have very little activity).
- imglorp 5y agoAWS is probably further along than the others throwing offerings at the wall. They let you do things like have a single api that can manage your stuff on your prem and in their cloud. It can look like containers, like VM's, like a VPN, all sorts of options. Sometimes it sticks to the wall. https://aws.amazon.com/hybrid https://aws.amazon.com/hybrid
- pm90 5y agoAWS Outpost and GCP Anthos are examples of hybrid cloud services. At first cloud providers created tools to make it easier to migrate/connect your on prem to your cloud environments. I’m guessing what usually happened was that some workloads would get migrated but others would remain on prem (for various reasons) so cloud providers started building products that made “your Data Center in our cloud”. Ie deploy cloud-like services within your Data Center so your developers have access to the same interface regardless of where the workload is deployed.
