Over the years, factors such as cloud security and compliance have posed challenges to the IT team. But with the continuous application of hybrid and cloudy environments, a new wave of complexity will hit enterprises in 2019.

Let's take a look at three cloud computing challenges that managers should pay attention to in the new year with Shaanxi excellent Employment Editor.

1. Data integration

Data integration efforts are often put aside. However, in reality, many enterprises still do not know how to effectively move data from large local databases (such as Oracle) to the cloud, or how to share information between local databases and cloud-local databases (such as Amazon Redshift).

To meet these cloud computing challenges, enterprises will need more and more data integration software from vendors such as MuleSoft and Boomi. The IT team needs to carefully plan which datasets need to be synchronized across cloud and local environments, and how often this process should take place. Enterprises should not underestimate the effort and cost of a data integration plan.

2. Cost control and management

Cost reduction is a common reason for enterprises to migrate to cloud computing. However, after moving the workload from the local to the cloud, they may notice that the cloud bill is much higher than originally expected. In most cases, this is because cloud users ignore factors such as network, data transfer, and storage costs.

For those who use serverless (Serverless) platforms, application overruns can also quickly increase the cost of cloud computing. In addition, multi-cloud deployments (where enterprises use hybrid public cloud platforms) may also make it more complex for teams to track and optimize costs.

Given these cloud computing challenges, many enterprises will choose cost management and governance tools, such as Cloud Cruiser or VMware's CloudHealth, to monitor usage, track spending, and allocate costs. Some tools also provide advice on how to reduce costs, such as resizing instances or using AWS Reserved Instances and Google Committed Use Discounts.

3. Complexity

Although enterprises continue to use cloud computing, especially hybrid and multi-cloud models, this does not mean that traditional local systems will disappear any time soon. As a result, the management of data, applications, and IT processes becomes more complex. In some cases, this may even hamper the ability of IT personnel to get the job done effectively.

Complexity has always been part of it, but the industry is nearing a tipping point. Heterogeneous architectures across multiple cloud platforms and locally present new management challenges that, in some cases, can lead to errors, service disruptions, vulnerabilities, and loss of control over end users and business delivery.

Enterprises need to develop processes and invest in technologies that bring some stability to IT, and reduce this complexity and volatility to a manageable level. Currently, tools and resources that can help include:

Cloud management platform

These types of tools centralize cloud resource management and monitoring, especially for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments.

Cloud service agent

The cloud agent acts as an intermediary between the customer and the cloud service provider to help ensure that customer goals are met.
