As enterprises continue to migrate workloads to cloud environments, they are reaping significant benefits, such as scalability, agility, and the ability to deploy applications in near real-time. However, these advantages are often undermined by the limitations of legacy networks. Traditional networks, restricted by long-term contracts and inflexible delivery timelines, are no longer fit for purpose in a cloud-driven world.

This story may be apocryphal, but you don’t need to be worried about power loss outages in order to have a given data center go down.

Serverless platforms make it incredibly easy to deploy applications. You can take raw code, push it up to a service like AWS Lambda, and have a running application in just a few seconds.
