Cloud

In the fast-paced aviation and defense industry, one of our clients faced a key challenge: how to accelerate the adoption of modern technologies and maintain competitiveness. The solution? Implementing a Continuous Innovation Program as the foundation of a new business model. A crucial aspect of this program was the continuous testing of state-of-the-art technologies to bring increasingly innovative products to market.

It’s not rocket science, and it’s pretty obvious that businesses need to keep up with the fast-changing digital landscape to remain competitive. Cloud application modernization is a critical strategy for updating outdated and legacy systems to leverage cloud computing benefits like those offered by Amazon Web Services(AWS). With this blog post, I decided to explore ones directly related to application modernization and the overall advantages of the cloud. Also, I will address the most common question of whether it is worth to modernize existing apps?

Everyone probably knows about applications. But how about the concept of Cloud Native? Perhaps many of you, well almost everybody, have heard something and will have an opinion. Okay, then, what are native applications and the Cloud Native Approach really? Is it worth developing new applications or upgrading existing ones to the Cloud Native model to overcome technology debt and improve legacy system?

In this article, I will try to answer the above questions and show why the Cloud Native approach can be a key element in the success of any organization’s digital transformation.

The beginning of the year is a time of intensified summary of the past months, as well as preparation of plans for the upcoming ones. During this period, there are many more or less accurate predictions about what we can expect shortly in the multiple cloud providers offer.

Since the global popularization of remote work in recent years, IT security teams are facing ever-increasing challenges to ensure effective and secure access to organizations’ critical assets, resources, and data.

Elaborate phishing attacks, through which user credentials are being exposed, allowing for lateral movement attacks or installing ransomware on mission-critical infrastructure. Zero-day vulnerabilities enable malicious actors to disrupt accessed services.

Nowadays, many organizations that adopted the cloud are looking into the Edge as a natural extension for their cloud-based solutions. On the other hand, the ones at the very beginning of the Cloud journey are way more aware of the Edge and the Cloud, so they are considering the usage of both technologies at the very beginning.

Join me for a journey that will take us from the realm of reality as we know it to a world where a cat can be both: dead and alive, and a particle can be in two places at once. Fasten your seatbelts as we explore the fascinating world of quantum computing and its role in cloud computing.

Vendor lock-in is a concept overly often associated with the IT industry, and in recent years, especially with cloud computing, although it is not inextricably linked with them. Economists considered it in a broader context long before the world first heard of AWS or Azure. From a customer and user perspective, it has tended to be viewed negatively, often creating reluctance and fear of using a particular service or product.

At first glance, the problem is not trivial in the public cloud area. Even the main beneficiaries of the phenomenon, i.e. the largest cloud providers, have decided to raise the issue on their official websites, so clearly something must be…

And whether it actually is, we will check in this article. We’ll look at the risks of vendor lock-in for organizations planning cloud adoption. We’ll also consider whether using multiple vendors (multi-cloud ) simultaneously can be a good recipe for improvement. In addition, we will take a look at the hybrid cloud.

Cloud-based data platforms revolutionize manufacturing data management by efficiently handling vast amounts of data in real-time. Manufacturers can collect data from various processes, analyze it with advanced tools like AI/ML algorithms and BI, and make informed decisions. These platforms offer key benefits, vital elements, and integration with Data Strategy.

We are all blessed to live in very exciting times. Exponential technological progress over the last couple of decades has influenced not only our personal lives but also heavily impacted business. Trends are obviously evolving occasionally, but it is safe to say that now is the time of advanced analytics.

In this article, I’ll guide you through the steps, technical choices, and trade-offs of migrating and modernizing apps to the public cloud, emphasizing beyond lift & shift and PaaS approaches. Using a real-life example, we’ll consider business goals, architecture, and functional/non-functional needs. Business factors will be discussed in the next article.

Cloud computing is constantly changing and evolving. What we see today is different from what it was yesterday and not the same as it will be tomorrow. The only constant is change. Today, conversations about change are not only with IT departments but also, before all, with the business, including marketing, HR, or finance departments. Each has different needs, which can be addressed by the cloud.
