Key FeaturesGet hands-on with creating your operating model across on-premises, cloud, and edgeLearn how to group, construct, and scope operating model dimensionsTackle operating model complexities like architecture, stakeholder management, platform operations, compliance, security, and technology selectionBook Description
Cloud goals, such as faster time to market, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), capex reduction, self-service enablement, and complexity reduction are important, but organizations often struggle to achieve the desired outcomes. With edge computing gaining momentum across industries and making it possible to move workloads seamlessly between cloud and edge locations, organizations need working recipes to find ways of extracting the most value out of their cloud and edge estate.
This book provides a practical way to build a strategy-aligned operating model while considering various related factors such as culture, leadership, team structures, metrics, intrinsic motivators, team incentives, tenant experience, platform engineering, operations, open source, and technology choices. Throughout the chapters, you'll discover how single, hybrid, or multicloud architectures, security models, automation, application development, workload deployments, and application modernization can be reutilized for edge workloads to help you build a secure yet flexible technology operating model. The book also includes a case study which will walk you through the operating model build process in a step-by-step way.
By the end of this book, you'll be able to build your own fit-for-purpose distributed technology operating model for your organization in an open culture way.
