What is Hybrid Cloud?

Why Hybrid Cloud

Support different workloads

Protect against supplier lock in


Why This is Fantasy: Private <-> Public


Not true clouds

<-> Public

Why This is Fantasy: Broker-based


• No Common Standards

• Greatly Reduced Choice

Hybrid Cloud: False Promises

Protect against supplier lock-in?

Support different workloads?


Hybrid Cloud: Get Real


Private-Public = Incomplete Transformation



Hybrid Cloud is not a strategy,it’s a predicament



Broker/Abstraction = Expensive Fantasy

So What is the Alternative?

Multi-cloud


Multi-Cloud: Benefits


• Quick to build (around ½ the time)• Simple to maintain and operate (1/3 code base)• Focused on developer productivity (NoOps)• Easy to automate (components work well together)• Supports diverse workloads• Similar levels of lock-in
