HybridCloud

Internally

they have to grow their own talent esp with #MachineLearning and #AI coming down the track hard

Even Google is doing training/certification for cloud skills now

There is a real skills shortage for cloud native dev. Add in security and there is an even higher labor shortage

Retrain internal people and hire as needed

35% the developers that know how to do this live within 50 miles of Google; 35% MSFT/Amazon. Future not evenly distributed everywhere else.

more move to SaaS (less dev & IT), will see more integrated platforms with higher level services (directly used by Dev)

@krishnan existing/internal devs are eager to be retrained...in fact it's compulsory to keep them

Bingo. Retrain where possible, hire where needed

@furrier totally agree. Making sense of massive injest will be the key competitive adv

or at least allow them to auto-train

developer training is job #1 big time

Absolutely. Domain knowledge is key and existing people have an advantage there

Million $ question. For larger markets w larger labor pool, hiring and sw dependency. For smaller markets, upskilling and partnering

Unicorns! Out of college! And agree-- retrain internal. Having a lay of the land is important. Hard for outsiders to make a dent in large orgs.

It's already in their organization, they just have to recognize it and let it flourish. External hires will bring it in, but will have some expectations on how things are run.

strategic cloud development capabilities are a moving target; major challenge for retraining, but has to happen.

Extremely important to expose dev and ops to 'the other side' in equal portions. Too many devs today have no idea about what ops does (really), and vice versa. Break down the walls.

reason we see "Serverless" boom, is that people dont want to mess with infra, take off-the shelf apps or build just the unique value, run faster

This is harder said than done. Rackspace had a Cloud Savvy Program. Grassroots.

How do CS dept's use cloud? I honestly don't know.

It is easier to find/train developer talent for the cloud than it is to find operations talent.

I checked into a Data Scientist Program. Only 60K plus books and fees. oof.

@peglarr said it best: "Retrain where possible, hire where needed."

@kenhuiny +1 Distributed systems are hard.

the death of the "components", the rise of the "platforms", DIY is good for startups not Enterprises

@kenhuiny Important! Why?

Retraining isn't as difficult as cultural change. That's the part that is neglected.

I am working with a CS dept. right now - they use public cloud routinely, claiming their on-campus IT is 'not agile enough'. Really little different than many enterprises. They also have their undergrads using cloud instances for simple programming projs

Recruit the lead, train up the team

love the data - keep it coming

thx, btw, I had seen this on your blog a while ago

@bpatrick001Multi-cloud is hard, higher level services (DB, AI, Serverless ..) are not standard

@yaronhaviv agree the latency even with peering still sucks for multicloud according to my "packethead" friends

This is right on target. We're expecting similar trends this year: http://www.clearskyd...

and the big opportunity is M&O to make this easier than the way we did things in the past. Can't replace running around a data center fixing issues with bouncing between user interfaces doing similar fire fighting.

All this cloud has me in a fog :-)

@furrier Packethead friends!

@nikiacosta that's a complement btw

@stu I still keep hearing "single pane of glass!" as utopia.

@nikiacosta nooooo - that is a pain of glass 😱

#devops was so 2008 now it's #devsecops

Great data

ok in all serious I agree the Sassification of apps is driving this

this looks in line with data I have seen

More or less what I see

DevOps not having the impact promised; too important to ignore.

Most companies have DevOps culture somewhere in their org doing the cloud native apps, but not mainstream

This seems to be pretty consistent with what I'm seeing

I like the #devsecops concept as well.

The enterprise has not gone mainstream. It's still happening in pockets from what I can tell. Big inhibitor is culture!
