The Advent of CloudOps Teams

At this point, I don’t think there’s anyone in IT who hasn’t heard of AWS, Microsoft Azure or the Google Cloud Platform. Public clouds proved to be reliable, scalable and cost-effective alternatives to on-premise resources.
In 2019, we also saw some of these resources come back to on-premise data centers. The industry settled on a hybrid cloud model—blending resources locally and in the cloud. But this design hasn’t been without its hurdles.
A hybrid design has been difficult to support with legacy networking technologies. They’re clunky, missing in simple features and generally pretty limited. But advancements in SD-WAN, containerization and the virtualization of more and more network functions makes the hybrid model much easier to deploy and manage.
For example, with just a few clicks, enterprises can now easily deploy resources in both a local data center and a favorite public cloud with seamless high-quality connectivity. Businesses today can’t wait for individual standalone teams to piece together an awkward tapestry of manual configurations. So in 2020, I believe we’ll see the advent of the CloudOps team—a team of technologists focused on spinning up new resources in public cloud and integrating them with local infrastructure.
Public cloud connectivity is now mission critical, so CloudOps will likewise become a mission critical component to an organization’s IT strategy.
