Taming cloud complexity chaos

Reducing cloud complexity for increased business value

As companies progress further in their cloud maturity journey, their cloud architectures are becoming more complex, and that complexity can sometimes lead to negative returns from cloud deployment models. However, the tremendous cloud value proposition—and the strategic importance of cloud computing in business—makes it worthwhile to utilize cloud computing best practices and governance principles to effectively manage complexity and obtain higher returns on cloud investments. In this episode, David Linthicum sits down with Bala Rajaraman to discuss leading practices in cloud complexity management and ways companies can use them to leverage cloud computing for increased business value.
