Moving to the cloud without training? 5 typical mistakes and how to avoid them Migrating to the cloud not only changes a company's IT landscape, it also has a direct impact on processes, working methods and day-to-day collaboration in specialist departments. Nevertheless, one crucial aspect is often underestimated: the targeted training of employees. The assumption often prevails: [...]
Cloud lift with a plan: how we achieved real migration success with Public OpenStack Cloud migrations rarely fail because of the technology - but because of the implementation. A lack of automation, complex dependencies and a rigid understanding of infrastructure often mean that the "lift" does not succeed and the "shift" fails to materialize. But what if you rely on an open platform such as OpenStack?
Open, independent, future-proof: OpenStack is more relevant than ever! Proprietary cloud services offer convenience - but often at the expense of flexibility, transparency and cost-effectiveness. High operating costs, dependence on individual providers and limited customization options are making some people think twice. At a time when digital sovereignty, regulatory requirements and pressure to innovate are playing key roles, OpenStack is becoming increasingly important as an open, scalable
Technical training for your IT staff: Fit for the cloud - from start to finish Our goal is to make ourselves redundant. Sounds contradictory at first - but it's not. Because when you start a cloud project with us, we pursue precisely this goal: at the end, your IT team should be as well trained as possible.
Monitoring in the cloud: visibility instead of flying blind Imagine you are piloting a state-of-the-art aircraft - fast, flexible, powerful. But your instruments are down. No displays, no warnings, no control. This is exactly what cloud operation without monitoring feels like. Modern cloud architectures offer enormous possibilities - but also enormous complexity. And only what is visible can be
QA and load testing in the cloud: automation as a game changer - more than just "it works" Imagine jumping out of an airplane - and just hoping that the parachute works. Sounds risky? Running cloud applications without automated QA and load testing is just as risky. In the dynamic world of the cloud, "it's enough
The modern cloud approach for microservices & agile development: container images, ConfigMaps & orchestration While we looked at the classic cloud approach (golden images, IaC, ScM & autoscaling) in our article last week, today we are looking at the modern cloud approach, which has significantly changed software development. Container images, orchestration and external configuration enable agile, scalable and flexible software development.
Golden images, IaC, ScM and autoscaling - this "classic" cloud approach remains highly relevant for many companies with complex workloads. Especially where scalability, consistency and control are crucial.
We've already talked about golden images - the cake recipe for your servers. But how do the applications themselves get into the cloud? And what if we're not just talking about the cloud, but also about how developers can work more efficiently? This is where container images come into play. They are also a kind of "package", but for
Let's be honest: In the cloud, provisioning servers is often like baking a cake. And what is crucial? Exactly - a proven basic recipe! In the IT world, this recipe is called Golden Image. Why without golden image everything is for the garbage can Imagine you want to bake a perfect cake.
