When you’re creating and implementing a cloud strategy, the people involved will make or break its success Sponsored by VMware
But you don’t need to hire a whole new staff of cloud experts. The teams you have now can evolve and grow to run an agile, cloud-based infrastructure that puts the customer first.Today, when it comes to cloud, the shifts in technical roles can seem drastic.
At S&P Global Ratings, CTO Marcus Daley started a successful cloud migration, initially with just two cloud engineers on the IT team. He had encouraged those engineers to get certified, then encouraged the rest of the existing team to get certified in whatever they wanted. “We invested in our people, and that worked,” says Daley. “Everyone turned into a cloud engineer.
Aside from technological growth and development, Daley also recommends encouraging an agile, flexible multi-cloud mindset. That mindset is centered around problem solving, first understanding the capabilities needed vs. starting with a specific vendor’s products or solutions. Another area of mindset shift and potential for growth is around cost. When you own your infrastructure, engineers don’t usually think of the costs associated with what they’re doing. In cloud, you do have to think about those costs. “If you reframe this as an opportunity to improve user experience, that encourages engineers to find creative ways to save costs, spin resources up and down, and generally have more reactive, real-time infrastructure,” says Daley.
