Becoming cloud-agnostic (HYB202)

Adopting a Cloud-Agnostic Approach

Rise of Multi-Cloud

  • Customers often struggle with the complexity of multi-cloud environments
  • Customers want to leverage the best services from different cloud providers, but don't want to be locked into a single provider

Cloud-Agnostic Principles

  1. Plan for IT Strategy: Consider the implications of decommissioning any tools or services added to your stack.
  2. Unified Visibility: Ensure observability and monitoring are in place for a common understanding across your environment.
  3. Ensure Performance: Proactively test and monitor performance across different cloud environments.
  4. Practice it: Deploy and manage workloads across multiple clouds to gain experience and identify differences.

Achieving Cloud Agnosticism

  1. Kubernetes: Leverage Kubernetes as a way to abstract the underlying infrastructure and enable portability.
  2. Observability with OpenTelemetry: Use OpenTelemetry to standardize monitoring protocols and ensure data visibility across clouds.
  3. Interconnectivity: Establish a multi-cloud network backbone to connect your cloud environments.
  4. Beyond Infrastructure: Focus on managed services and higher-level abstractions to minimize cloud-specific dependencies.

Platform Engineering

  • Customers struggle to find platforms that truly enable cloud agnosticism and independence
  • Platforms like the one offered by the speakers' company, Emma, aim to provide a comprehensive solution for cloud-agnostic provisioning, deployment, observability, and cost management.
