Cloud Management

Noha Bakry
Cloud Management
• Is the process of monitoring and maximizing efficiency in the use of
one or more private or public cloud.
• Organizations typically use a cloud management platform to manage
cloud usage.
• Cloud management allows IT managers to move workloads through
different clouds and manage the cost of cloud resources.
Cloud Management
• Cloud data management: Backing up data in the cloud is often part of
a disaster recovery strategy. Cloud management tools allow this
process to be automated.
• Cloud content management: Using different clouds to host content
that has different requirements for accessibility can save costs when
rarely needed archived content is stored in a low-cost cloud with
higher latency.
• Cloud application management: Cloud management allows
organizations to monitor the use of cloud-native applications and
easily scale up processing or storage resources when necessary.
How does cloud management work?
• Cloud management software can gather the information necessary for
an informed decision about what to keep in a private cloud and what
to move to a public cloud.
• it can monitor the results of that decision to optimize hybrid cloud
and multi-cloud management.
• Many businesses develop their own in-house tools for private
or hybrid cloud management.
How does cloud management work?
• Public cloud providers typically offer their own software tools for
monitoring, securing, and managing the cost of their cloud offerings.
• these tools rarely offer insight into performance, instead sticking to
basic reporting.
• Third-party tools designed to help manage public cloud services
become necessary if organizations are using multiple public clouds
that all have their own proprietary cloud management tools.

Cloud Management benefits
1- Informs the optimal cloud strategy:
This type of analysis also can help an organization make an informed
decision about whether to use a public, private, or hybrid cloud for
different needs, and what the optimal balance among those clouds
might look like.
Cloud Management benefits
2- Workflow automation for instances of public cloud usage: Public
cloud usage is usually more expensive than hosting a private cloud, but
organizations don’t want to provision a private cloud that is larger than
necessary. Many businesses solve this problem by bursting from the
private cloud into the public cloud during peak traffic times, using the
public cloud only when required. Workflow automation as part of cloud
management determines when this leap to the public cloud should
happen and makes it happen automatically, saving time and money.
Cloud Management benefits
3- Better cloud cost management:
Taking responsibility for cloud management allows an organization to
see exactly how and when all of the cloud computing infrastructure
components are being used. This allows IT directors to make informed
decisions about how and when to use a public or private cloud, and to
allocate resources more efficiently. Organizations can also see when
they are paying for unused cloud resources, which allows them to
eliminate unnecessary costs.
Cloud Management benefits
4- Ensuring compliance:
A good cloud management tool will allow administrators to see where
users and cloud configurations are out of compliance with corporate
cloud use policies and guidelines, and ensure that any issues are quickly
addressed.
Challenges of managing a cloud environment
• Interoperability:
• Today’s modern IT environments are increasingly spread out across a mix of
on-premises, public and private cloud, hybrid, or even multi cloud
environments.
• Teams must be able to manage the numerous, heterogeneous systems in a
simple way.
Challenges of managing a cloud environment
Cost assessment:
• While cloud environments enable true cost management, estimating cloud costs to
pinpoint waste can still pose many challenges.
• Calculating the cost of a single service might require gathering details across
accounts, regions, and other cloud-based tools and services.
• This can be complicated further if there are any overlapping resources that must be
paid by an individual business unit within your organization.
Challenges of managing a cloud environment
• cloud sprawl:
• cloud sprawl is when a company lacks control over or visibility into the spread of its
cloud instances, services, or providers across the organization.
• It usually happens as a result of mismanagement, misconfiguration, or improper
monitoring of a cloud environment
• For example, when a developer starts an instance but forgets to power it down
overnight, or different teams begin using two separate cloud providers for the same
services — that’s cloud services starting to sprawl.
• Often, companies are unaware it’s a problem until security issues and unexpected
cloud costs crop up.
Challenges of managing a cloud environment
Cloud Sprawl Risks:
• Unnecessary costs: Staying within budget is critical for companies using public cloud
services. With a lack of monitoring, companies pay for idle or forgotten workloads
that aren’t being used and incur more costs.
• Security risks: Forgotten and unmonitored workloads also present more
opportunities for hackers to attack while flying under the radar.
• Inefficiency: Suppose anyone within an organization can access cloud resources
without the proper governance, or separate departments use different cloud
providers for the same services. It could create redundancies when you’re working
with many cloud providers.
