- 3. Fast multi-cloud logging State of the “Cloud”
- 4. Fast multi-cloud logging How did we get here?
- 5. Fast multi-cloud logging Back in the day... =
- 6. Fast multi-cloud logging Owning the entire stack
- 7. Fast multi-cloud logging Then cloud happened..
- 8. Fast multi-cloud logging Which was great! ● Developers empowered ● Cambrian explosion of tool choices ● All the BigCos “love developers” now ○ IBM buys Red Hat, Compose.io ○ Microsoft buys GitHub ○ Facebook buys Parse ○ Salesforce buys Heroku
- 9. Fast multi-cloud logging + Access to information + Open Source + Virtualization
- 11. Fast multi-cloud logging + Easy access to tools + Specialization/focus on business logic *-aaS DevOps NoOps DevSecOps *Ops
- 13. Fast multi-cloud logging But also not as great..
- 16. Fast multi-cloud logging How do we thrive in this new world?
- 17. Fast multi-cloud logging Don’t cargo cult Don’t chase trends (Hacker News) Buy, don’t build (unless you HAVE to)
- 18. Fast multi-cloud logging BYO versus *aaS ● Developer Agility ○ Lean towards hosted services over hosting your own (email, APM, logging) ○ If you’re building a house/app, you wouldn’t lay your own carpets, pipes and wires ○ Focus on where you can add business value ○ If a service/tool gives you a unique business advantage, manage it yourself ● Data portability ○ Always lean towards open standards ○ Don’t fall for the allure of “vertical integration”, especially on one of the big clouds ○ Each of those features is designed for “stickiness”, and to make it harder for you to move off their platforms ● Interoperability ○ Where it makes sense, invest in tools/services that are generically open and interoperable ○ PostgreSQL, Redis, etc versus “BigCoDB”, “BigCoCache”

- 20. Fast multi-cloud logging BYO for cost, but not to “reduce exposure” ● Emotionally, you “owning it” feels better ● Statistically, you “owning it” is a liability Focus on the tools that give you flexibility.
- 21. Fast multi-cloud logging A quick note on Multicloud, Hybrid Cloud, Private Cloud, Cumulus Clouds, and all of the future Clouds Don’t checklist buzzwords, the devil’s in the details
- 22. Fast multi-cloud logging Be pragmatic Don’t assume “big data” (spoiler alert: you’re probably not) Match architectural decisions to business needs Don’t use tools for the sake of the tool (HypeDB over MySQL) Be flexible, adaptable, and evolve There will always be a new, cool, hot tool (don’t fall for “futureproofing”)
- 23. Fast multi-cloud logging Final takeaways ● We moved from large monolithic companies who own the entire stack to large monolithic companies who offer open source services ● We moved from hairy and difficult to manage physical and software infrastructures to hairy and difficult to manage virtualized infrastructures ● What’s old is new again, be pragmatic and make sure to meet your business needs and you’ll shield yourself from disruptive change
