Teleglobal International - Cloud Service Providers

Almost every business today, from startups to global MNCs has, to some extent or the other begun its digital transformation process. Many have shifted their applications from their own premises to the cloud. However, all-too-often this shift is done en masse, i.e. without any restructuring to the new environment. With work-from-home becoming increasingly ubiquitous, businesses are now struggling to scale applications—especially those needed by employees and customers—to match demand. The best way to realize the full value of the cloud is by going native right from the outset. This means developing applications in the cloud from the get-go. Advantages Faster Development and Turnarounds Going cloud-native puts automated elements at your disposal, giving you the ability to innovate, update, and launch at speed. It also enables seamless data gathering which, with advanced analytics, will enable you to make more insightful decisions. Scalability As your business grows, perhaps to new market...

Cloud adoption has become the norm, and the Covid pandemic, with its accompanying new normal of Work From Home, has given this a major impetus. According to Gartner, IT spending is slated to accelerate until 2024—by approximately fifteen percent. Gartner has also forecast potential overspending by twenty to fifty percent through to 2024 by up to eighty percent of cloud adopters who are not aware of mis-steps or mistakes made during their cloud adoption. In order to experience the benefits of cloud computing it is vital for infrastructure and operations managers to ensure compliance with best practices as they navigate their digital transformation roadmap. Unquestionably the responsibility for assessing that cloud maturity benchmarks have been met is on Infra & Ops leaders. By following best practices and applying learnings from earlier cloud adopters, they can enhance cost saving, improve optimization and pre-empt risks. The first and foremost step in doing this is to select the co...

The entire premise of cloud computing is based on cost savings; opex over capex, cost of installing and upgrading hardware, software, security, and resources and training. But a number of businesses are finding their cloud costs overshooting budgets despite following   recommended   AWS best practices, viz: rightsizing, scheduling, and buying Reserved Instances. Though these remain excellent means of cloud cost-optimization, they can be supplemented by others that often go overlooked but can help you cut down your costs substantially. Try these approaches to further optimize your cloud costs. Pick the latest instances AWS routinely releases new-generation instances that offer improved performance and greater functionality than their earlier model. Shifting to these, or alternatively downsizing instances with low utilization metrics, can help you benefit from cost savings while enjoying the same, or higher, performance levels. Match  storage tiers to your needs Organizatio...

  Let’s start by accepting that the term Serverless itself is a bit of a misnomer. Without a server there really can’t be any computing. What Serverless Computing does is, hide the server from you, take away the hassle of maintaining hardware and software, and give you all the computing muscle you need, without any idle capacity. In a traditional IT environment, i.e. server-based, you typically have a 3-tier architecture, viz: a database layer, where the database sits; an application layer, where your apps run; and the presentation layer, interface users interact with. A user can thus interact with your application in as many ways as your application will support—a web browser, mobile, or connected device (think: IoT) What this means is that before you even start working on your (server-based) app, the onus is on you to set up your server, install the OS, install needed software; and regularly manage all this, i.e. take care of hardware, update software, manage operating systems. D...

If you, like so many efficiency- and cost-conscious organizations are considering migrating to the cloud, you’ve probably already shortlisted the top cloud and IaaS Service providers, namely: AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Providers of GCP. Given that AWS and Azure have the lion’s share of the market—with ~32% and `19% respectively— and have proven themselves repeatedly, chances are either of these can suit your needs. When it comes to basic capabilities, such as autoscaling, elastic compute, and storage, there are some distinct differences that one should take into account when making a decision. Let’s take a look at each one’s capabilities in the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) ecosystem—viz: infrastructure hardware and software, hosting features, applications, database service, and pricing strategies. By  Gartner’s estimates  demand for Iaas, which went from ~USD50 billion in 2020 to ~USD64 billion in 2021, is massive and growing AWS Pros Spread of services One o...

From ‘ should I move to the cloud ’   the question on everyone’s mind now is how  best to move to the cloud ’. The advantages that cloud computing provides in terms of flexibility, availability, usability, and cost savings cannot be gainsaid. But realizing these benefits is not so straightforward. Failing to calculate the costs associated with your migration can actually end up making the move cost-prohibitive. This is compounded by the array of challenges you must face, such as: Ensuring the security of data and applications Meeting governance compliance standards Converting mindsets used to the familiarity of on-premises infra to in-the-cloud Staying updated with your hardware and software, and emerging technologies Managing the costs of maintaining infrastructure and operations Failure to attend to factors pre-emptively, beginning with incorrect/incomplete assessments is sure to render your cloud infrastructure unnecessarily complex, expensive, inefficient, and even comprom...

Optimizing your AWS cloud is not a one time process. It is an ongoing exercise in monitoring costs and utilization, analyzing the available data and taking appropriate action to maximize savings. Here are some basic actions you can take to trim cloud-related costs 1.Right-Size Identify which resources are not being utilized or under-utilized and stop or right size the resource in question. You can begin with AWS Cost Explorer Resource Optimization report. This will present a list of resources that are not being utilized properly. You can also utilize AWS Compute Optimizer to identify and remove performance bottlenecks. Other AWS tools you should be using include: Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Amazon EC2 Spot Instances (in tandem with third party tools, such as Spotinst), Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS) and Elastic Compute services (ECS – EC2 Model).   2.Refresh Instance Families Instance types within set groupings should be retired as a unit as and when the hardware they run on is...
