Hybrid and multi-cloud
1. Hybrid and multi-cloud
As you've seen throughout this course, organizations can thrive with the help of cloud. But the reality is that most of the world's enterprise computing still happens on premises. The path to the cloud can be complex and full of difficult decisions and sometimes workloads remain on premises due to compliance or operational concerns. How can organizations modernize their IT infrastructure without completely migrating to the cloud? How can they maintain flexibility and avoid lock in? Two options are hybrid and multi cloud solutions. A hybrid cloud environment comprises some combination of on premises or private cloud infrastructure and public cloud services. This is the situation many organizations are currently in, where some of their data and applications have been migrated to the cloud, while others remain on premises. Interconnects between the private and public clouds allow interoperability. A multi-cloud environment is where an organization uses multiple public cloud providers as part of its architecture. This is ideal for organizations that need flexibility and secure connectivity between the different networks. An organization might choose to use hybrid cloud multi-cloud or a combination of both if they want to incorporate specific elements of a public cloud to benefit from the main strengths of that provider. This lets organizations keep parts of the system's infrastructure on premises while they move other parts to the cloud. This way they create an environment that is uniquely suited to the organization's needs. Move only specific workloads to the cloud because a full scale migration is not required for it to work, benefit from the flexibility, scalability, and lower computing costs offered by Cloud services for running specific workloads. Add specialized services such as machine learning, content caching, data analysis, long term storage, and IOT or Internet of Things. To the organization's computing resources toolkit. How can Google Cloud help in this context? Google's answer to modern hybrid and Multi-cloud distributed systems and services management is called GKE Enterprise. GKE Enterprise is a managed production ready platform for running Kubernetes applications across multiple cloud environments. It provides a consistent way to manage Kubernetes, clusters, applications and services regardless of where they are running. Some of the benefits of GKE enterprise include Multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud support. GKE enterprise can run Kubernetes clusters on Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, and other public clouds. Centralized management GKE Enterprise provides a single centralized console for managing Kubernetes clusters and applications, security and compliance. GKE Enterprise includes many features that help secure Kubernetes clusters and applications and comply with industry regulations, networking and load balancing. GKE Enterprise includes a number of features that help network and load balance Kubernetes applications, monitoring and logging GKE Enterprise provides a rich set of tools for monitoring and maintaining application consistency across an entire network, whether on premises in the cloud or in multiple clouds.2.
