Cloudify News Roundup: ‘Trillion dollar paradox’ response; Podcast #16, agile-first approach to 5G network slicing, & 4 essential open-source tools for cloud management.

Reducing Cloud Spend Need Not Be a Paradox’ – TheNewStack 

Our very own CTO Nati Shalom takes TheNewStack to publish his (and Cloudify’s) response to Martin Casado’s recent ‘Trillion Dollar Paradox‘ analysis which challenges conventional thinking regarding cloud transformation and migration – with a focus on infrastructure cost impact.  The paradox in question is that cloud infrastructure makes a business model possible at smaller scale, yet when the time comes to scale out… problems will arise. 

Podcast Episode 16: The Multi Product SaaS Challenge

TechBeacon names Cloudify one if its ‘4 essential open-source tools for cloud management’

Cloudify was named in Tech-Beacons, as one of “4 essential open-source tools for cloud management.” In this article, David Linthicum discusses open-source cloud management solutions that aim to provide both abstraction and automation as a way of eliminating the handling of cloud complexity. The main issue is that many cloud-based offerings are built using different teams, different platforms etc and there is an obvious lack of defined common cloud services.  The article focuses on reviewing the new environment in which cloud management tools must operate. Reasons highlighted for needing open-source cloud management include having control, in turn reducing risk and it’s option for forking, to fork the code tree in ways that the functions can support specific needs.
