There’s been a lot of hype lately around announced hybrid or multi-Cloud offerings.
Fact is, that you can do this already today with Red Hat OpenShift.
I’ve recorded a short 6 minutes video which demonstrates hybrid-multi Cloud in action with two OpenShift clusters:
- pSeries 64 Little Endian and
- AWS x86.
The video demonstrates the creation of a project and a simple application.
Even though the processor architecture is different, the exact same commands are being executed. This speaks to the power of a true hybrid-multi Cloud strategy as it saves organisations from re-building their IT organisation for each cloud provider.
There are of course other concerns such as storage layer replication (Ceph), multi-cluster management (MCM) and cloud provider independent automation (Ansible), but the main message remains the same: The required enterprise ready open source tools and technologies are available today to run a hybrid-multi Cloud.
There are over 1,000 organisations globally who run OpenShift in production.
There is no need to wait.
Keen to get your thoughts,
Andreas
