Hybrid cloud, Distributed cloud and Edge Computing

Some companies are reluctant to make the move to the Cloud. The benefits and the maturity of the CSPs (Cloud Service Providers) are increasing while the difficulties and dangers of maintaining your own IT are getting bigger. The move to the Cloud is not without risk, security in the Cloud is a shared responsibility. This Hybrid Cloud, Distributed Cloud and Edge Computing training will help you to migrate to the Cloud safely and explains the latest trends in Cloud Computing.

This training is meant for Solution Architects, Product Owners, (business) managers and IT engineers.

In comparison to a few years ago compliance to rules and regulations by the CSPs (like PCI/DSS or GDPR) has improved considerably. Some CSPs even encrypt all data in transport and rest within the Cloud. However, the move to the cloud remains a matter of confidence.

It is now possible to reserve your own hardware in the public Cloud (if you pay of course!).  That’s where the Distributed Cloud comes in. Another thing: location is important, especially with the rise of IoT, edge AI (Artificial Intelligence) and everybody working from home. A trend in security is to move the check of an identity and it’s access rights (of a user or device) to the edge. All these factors increase the importance of performance at the edge to ensure user satisfaction. Latency (delay on the network) can be an issue when you move to the public Cloud.
