Despite all the hype from the big cloud providers the truth is that most organisations rely on hybrid infrastructures now and will do so for the foreseeable future. Typically, this includes on-premises infrastructure and at least two public cloud providers. This is not a step on a journey to being 100 per cent cloud, it is the strategic destination many have chosen.
This is part one of a two part blog series on open source based private cloud for financial services. This blog describes the need for a cost-effective private cloud to execute a successful hybrid cloud strategy. It also shares a comparison between proprietary and open source based private cloud platforms.
The effectiveness of good resource management in a secure and agile way is a challenge today. There are several solutions like Openstack and Harvester, which handles your hardware infrastructure as on-premise cloud infrastructure. This allows the management of storage, compute, and networking resources to be more flexible than deploying applications on single hardware only. Both OpenStack and Harvester have their own use cases.
Imagine your organization encounters a project where you have to switch storage vendors... What would you do? To begin with, you will need to evaluate and test the performance of the storage providers on your servers. At Civo, we faced a similar project, allowing us to test several storage providers on our bare metal servers. In this article, we will discuss what you should look for while migrating to a different provider and the ways you can test these providers.

Rails is a Ruby framework for developing web applications. It favors the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture and includes generators that create the files needed for each MVC component. Rails applications consist of a database, an application server for running application code, and a web server for processing requests. Rails provides multiple integrations for its supporting database (e.g., MySQL and PostgreSQL) and web server (e.g., Apache and NGINX).
Interrupts are often seen as a problem that eats away at your team’s productivity, and gets in the way of shipping important things for your customers. It’s often consciously accrued from the tech debt we accept to ship features sooner. However when a team doesn’t have a good strategy for dealing with the consequences of those decisions, the pain is felt much more acutely and much sooner.
