Hybrid cloud: where to place critical workloads

The question is no longer whether to use the cloud, but which workload to place where, with what guarantees of security, performance, cost and data sovereignty.

Four criteria to decide

Service criticality and continuity requirements; data sensitivity and jurisdiction; performance and latency; total lifecycle cost, including data transfer and exit from the provider.

A single operating model

On-premise data centres, qualified cloud and public cloud must be governed with the same identity, monitoring, backup and security policies. Without a single direction, hybrid cloud multiplies blind spots.

Where to start

  1. Classify workloads by criticality and data sensitivity.
  2. Define the reference architecture and placement criteria.
  3. Plan the migration in waves, with restore tests.
  4. Extend observability and security monitoring to all environments.
