More than 90% of enterprises now rely on a hybrid cloud infrastructure to deliver innovative digital services and capture new markets. That’s because cloud platforms offer flexibility and extensibility for an organization’s existing infrastructure. Dynatrace news. With public clouds, multiple organizations share resources.

One example is that Netflix launched it’s streaming service in 2007, just at the point when the cost of streaming a movie over the network (which was dropping fast) became less than the cost of shipping a DVD. Rob Hirschfeld of RackN had this perspective on the impact of AI on his domain of infrastructure automation.

I recently was asked the following question by an online retailer: “Why should I invest in monitoring the user experience when I already have monitoring for our database, infrastructure, app server, and network?”. Instead of asking that question, I asked them this: “Are you a network or hosting provider? Conclusion.

DevOps is not a single system, rather it is a combination of many processes – testing, deployment, production, etc – thus, it’s better termed as a ‘distributed infrastructure’. Cloud-based solutions are extremely cheap when compared to building and maintaining a DevOps infrastructure on-premise. Source: FileFlex.
