New Year's Resolutions for Cloud Computing in 2021


Usually, New Year's resolutions are divided into personal and professional ones. I also have personal goals that no one will be interested in and other goals related to cloud computing. We hope that many people in this field will make this effort, and share our New Year's resolutions.

Teaching cloud computing to more people. I have a desire for education. However, rather than traditional training courses where most of what we have learned is useless, we want to focus on the specific cloud skills we want in the market right now. Storage or architecture, cloud-native database, security, etc.

This goal, on the one hand, is to complain about the lack of cloud talent. The biggest obstacle to the success of cloud computing today is the lack of talent. On the other hand, it is trying to actively solve the problem by investing in the development of cloud talent and providing free formal and informal courses. I plan to spend more time here. Whether it's on-demand video training, regular lectures, or one-on-one mentoring.

Expand the number of cloud architecture patterns in use. There are a number of cloud computing architectures, including basic patterns such as hybrid cloud or multicloud. We know that ordinary cloud architects duplicate what they read in books or see in online technical journals. The problem is that you can create a solution that works this way. Unfortunately, it is difficult to optimize the value and efficiency of a solution made in this way. So, because cloud architectures are overly complex, less optimized, more vulnerable, or less secure, you may have to spend as much as five times a month managing cloud systems.

So what is bad architecture? As far as I can tell, those who actually decide how to effectively configure a cloud computing solution need better and more consistent guidance. Now is the time to start creating and documenting patterns to fit into specific problem areas. I'm going to work a little more this year, and I won't even know it alone. We will actively accept constructive criticism to improve and expand these patterns.

Taking cloud security to the next level. Recent cyberattacks have proven that online security isn't perfect. Although the target of most attacks is traditional systems and not cloud-based systems, the need to further improve cloud security remains. Another thing to consider is a situation where traditional systems are neglected as the cloud security market grows and R&D is focused on cloud-based security.

Any system can be targeted, and security is defined by the most vulnerable system. The rise of edge and IoT systems can provide an easy entry point for hackers. In addition, as multicloud deployments become more complex, it is more difficult to defend against.

What you need now is not to add security tools, but to rethink how you handled security in the first place. This means that the concept of security best practices and technologies should be discarded and new and more effective models should be defined.
