Serverless Craic Ep15 Introduction to the Modern Cloud

Send us Fan MailMany people are asking: 'What does modern cloud, modern application or modern architecture actually mean?' It's hard to explain what it means without thinking about legacy cloud. Gregor Hohpe has a great description.  He says; 'If you lift and shift to AWS (or any of the cloud providers), and don't modernise your architecture, all you've got is a fancy data centre!'. You've moved your old data centre to a cloud level data centre. So you've got a top of the range data centre, but you're not actually benefiting from Cloud. In this episode we describe how a modern cloud team can do everything themselves. They rarely need to go outside their team for help.  They're ‘fast flow’. There's very few handoffs, You still need, not necessarily a DevOps team, but you need enabling teams. Whether you're a CTO, an architect, or a developer, it's good to understand the art of the possible. What does good actually look like? What can we actually do?  And the direction and pathway towards that. You don't arrive overnight.  Check out our book The Value Flywheel EffectFollow us on Twitter @ServerlessEdge Follow us on LinkedInServerless Craic from The Serverless EdgeServerless CrAIc from The Serverless EdgeCheck out our book The Value Flywheel Effect Follow us on X @ServerlessEdgeFollow us on LinkedIn Subscribe on YouTube
