Kunal Bhatt Practice Head, Automation, CMS IT Services talks to us about the current situation of Cloud tech.

What are the trends in Cloud techs in current times, especially HyperCloud?

Kunal - The cloud technology trends that have been developing over the past few years. Customers of HyperCloud can create a hybrid or multi-cloud approach that serves their needs. It provides intelligent building pieces that are simple to configure to size the cloud instance appropriately for the needs of the business while taking away the challenges of complexity of managing hybrid/multi-cloud environment.

Following are some important points in this regard -  

1. The developments in cloud technology that we are currently observing are numerous and have been developing for the past few years.
2. Customers can create a hybrid and/or multi-cloud approach with HyperCloud that satisfies their goals. It provides intelligent building blocks that are simple to configure in order to size the cloud instance to the demands of the business while removing the difficulties of operating a complex hybrid or multi-cloud environment.
3. Hyper cloud makes cloud deployment simple since it offers automated, resilient, low-touch operations.
4. It provides fully automated cloud and instance life cycle management, enabling automated non-disruptive upgrades that make it simpler to maintain the environment's security.
5. Notable developments in cloud and HyperCloud include:
6. Serverless architecture removes all the constraints imposed by conventional IT infrastructure, allowing developers to create, and run services without having to manage the underlying infrastructure. It is often referred to as FaaS, or Function as a Service.
7. Data and network security provide a significant concern for all cloud systems. To ensure that the data, applications, and environments in cloud computing systems are secure, security in the cloud plays a crucial role since it must make sure that the technologies, core policies, and backbone services are in line with client policies and services.DevSecOps is needed to combine CI/CD pipeline with security practises that bring proactive optimisation and compliance validation to cloud and instance lifecycles. This will enable transformation on how to create secure systems quickly while managing the impact of cultural change.
8. Service mesh, the fourth option, provides a specific S2S (service to service) communication layer. To ensure secure and prompt communication between environments in a hybrid or multi-cloud environment, which results in a highly secure and dynamic cloud platform, is crucial.

What are the challenges in the installation of Cloud, especially HyperCloud? How do you resolve these challenges?

Kunal - Following are some challenges -

Cloud installations are increasingly commonplace; there are both public and private cloud platforms that provide a wide range of services. The primary issues with cloud and HyperCloud are essentially the same.

Scalability: The installation needs to be highly scalable to handle the workload demands. It must be able to manage large amounts of data and traffic while yet delivering top performance.

Complexity: Setting up a HyperCloud is difficult since it requires a lot of networking, storage, and computing resources. Maintaining harmony and cooperation amongst all these elements can be quite difficult.

Security: must be given high concern because HyperCloud installation involves a lot of sensitive data. It is important to make sure the installation is protected from both internal and external dangers.Expertise: Installing a HyperCloud demands advanced knowledge because it involves intricate setups and technologies. To oversee the installation and guarantee its success, you might need to hire a group of specialists.

Price: Installing a HyperCloud can be costly, particularly if you need to buy and maintain hardware and software. You might need to compare the advantages of employing a HyperCloud installation against the long-term costs of ownership.
