The benefits and drawbacks of hybrid cloud computing

Hybrid cloud solutions integrate on-premises, private, and public clouds to let organizations operate critical workloads anywhere

A successful hybrid cloud approach starts with examining how cloud computing architecture can support business goals, like any IT solution

Before considering benefits, let’s examine how hybrid cloud computing became the standard IT infrastructure for protecting sensitive data and performing workloads

Enterprise-level cloud computing lets companies move IT storage and processing to public clouds offered by AWS, IBM Cloud, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure

Software applications, VMs, enterprise-grade infrastructures, and development platforms are available on demand from these companies

Hybrid cloud technology integrates computation, storage, and services in multiple computing environments for more capacity and performance

Microservices and container orchestration systems like Kubernetes and Docker Swarm enable cloud-native application development and deployment across all clouds in modern infrastructure paradigms
