Architecting for Systems and Targets

Introduction

The first and foremost thing we need to make sure of is to pick the suitable architecture that meets our needs. We will be selecting various elements and target objects within the cloud service provider we are using that match up to what we have today in our typical traditional network environment. We can have a Single Cloud Solution and a Multi-Cloud Solution.

Single cloud solution

An organization can use a single cloud provider to serve all its cloud-based applications and services. Users can use either private or public clouds in a single cloud environment, depending on which suits their current and future needs best. Using them, organizations can move workloads to the cloud as their needs grow, expanding the number of virtualized servers if their needs exceed the capacity of a single cloud server.

Smaller, less technical organizations that want the benefits of cloud computing without the burden could benefit more from a single cloud environment. Additionally, it can be a great starting point for startups who wish to grow in the future but require fewer cloud resources in the short term.

Multi-cloud solution

Cloud applications are shared between multiple cloud service providers in multi-cloud environments, which utilize a mix of cloud offerings. A multi-cloud approach can include private clouds, public clouds, or a combination of both, utilizing different cloud providers. The multi-cloud approach uses different providers to meet specific workload requirements and is not necessarily connected. It is common for organizations to find that different cloud platforms are better suited for different departments’ needs.

It is necessary to decide what solution works for the set of requirements we ...
