Our interactions with businesses can happen in person, on the web, on our mobile devices, in marketplaces or via APIs. To enable these interactions, IT organizations are increasingly being driven towards hybrid IT architectures involving private cloud, public cloud, edge computing, AI/ML and more to provide multiple different routes to the customer.
This mixed use of public and private clouds, possibly with some degree of workload portability, integration, orchestration, and unified management across those clouds is often referred to as hybrid cloud computing. Research shows that improving business agility and increasing IT agility are key drivers for organizations that are implementing a hybrid cloud strategy.

And we are seeing that hybrid cloud, and multicloud, adoption is increasing and forecast to continue to increase. Multicloud is when IT organizations use multiple clouds from multiple private or public providers, for multiple workloads or tasks, without interconnectivity between clouds.

In addition, hybrid cloud is seen as the leading strategy for organizations surveyed for the Global Customer Tech Outlook going forward.

The Qualtrics survey from last fall shows that the primary motivator for hybrid cloud adoption is the ability to dynamically move workloads to the most appropriate IT environment based on cost, performance, security, data sovereignty or other requirements.

We conducted these surveys last year before the current crisis hit. However, in talking with customers and prominent analyst firms, we are finding that organizations like the ones surveyed still moving forward with their hybrid and multicloud strategies, and some are even accelerating these efforts.
Workloads are critical. The key aspect of any hybrid cloud architecture or design is to make sure that it supports an “application-first” strategy.
Applications are key to business and IT success and making sure that applications are performant, secure, accessible, and scalable is foundational to any infrastructure architecture. Understanding application requirements around integration, access management, network latency, security, compliance, licensing, CPU and memory consumption, and business continuity are critical in a hybrid cloud infrastructure design.
If you are considering a hybrid cloud strategy or are already embarking on your hybrid cloud journey, there are some additional key factors that you should consider.
Amazon Web Services and Red Hat have come together to help you understand these factors so that you can make the best hybrid cloud architecture choices for your situation. You should put some careful thought into and ask hard questions about the following aspects of your hybrid cloud design:
-
Application deployment, operations and management
-
Infrastructure management and control
-
Operating system foundation
-
Security and compliance
-
Cloud services utilization, deployment and management
-
Data management and storage
