Key Practices to Manage Multi-Cloud Infrastructure

A module is a directory-specific collection of standard configuration files. It is not necessary to rewrite the code for similar infrastructure components using modules

Fremont, CA: Many IoT solutions rely on cloud computing to function. AWS and Azure are two of the most well-known cloud computing services. However, there are times when a single cloud service is insufficient to allow an IoT solution to reach its full potential. Multi-cloud infrastructures come into play here. Having a multi-cloud infrastructure has numerous advantages, which is why more and more organizations are embracing multi-cloud. They enable one to avoid vendor lock-in, take advantage of cloud providers' unique capabilities, provide services in multiple regions, improve network security, and more. All of these advantages are lost if multi-cloud infrastructures are not properly managed. Proper multi-cloud service management enables implementors to make the most of each service they use.

Here are some practices that will ensure that multi-cloud integrations are successful.

Modularization

A module is a directory-specific collection of standard configuration files. It is not necessary to rewrite the code for similar infrastructure components using modules.

Modules created in one cloud environment must, of course, be edited to work with other cloud providers. Components deployed to a module, on the other hand, do not require any changes.

One can deploy the component to the module without making any changes after the AWS module is recreated for Azure.

One assumes one's application runs on AWS's Kubernetes cluster.

The 'cert manager' service is set up to deploy SSL to that Kubernetes cluster. When one migrates to Azure, one must rebuild the Kubernetes module for Azure. However, the 'cert manager' will continue to function as is.

Choosing the Right Tool

Many Internet of Things (IoT) solutions depends on cloud computing to function. Two of the most well-known cloud computing services are AWS and Azure. There are times, nevertheless, when a single cloud service is insufficient to enable an IoT solution to reach its full potential. Here, multi-cloud infrastructures come into play. Having a multi-cloud infrastructure has numerous benefits, which is why more and more businesses are embracing it. They allow one to avoid vendor lock-in, take advantage of cloud providers' unique capabilities, offer services in multiple regions, improve network security, and do a variety of other things. All of these benefits are lost if multi-cloud infrastructures are not managed properly. Implementors can make the most of each service they use with proper multi-cloud service management.
