9. Let’s bring everyone up to speed with Cloud Computing 101
10. According to NIST, Cloud Computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

54. There are huge shifts in software development
55. Waterfall -> Agile • The technology should meet the demands
 of the software development cycle Reference: http://www.rightscale.com/blog/cloud-industry-insights/cloud-computing- trends-2016-state-cloud-survey
56. Dev / Ops -> DevOps • Breakdown between traditional Dev / Ops • Increased collaboration • Cultural Transformation • Deep Automation • CI / CD • Increased Business Agility Reference: http://www.rightscale.com/blog/cloud-industry-insights/cloud-computing- trends-2016-state-cloud-survey
57. IT Ops -> Cloud Ops • Need to grok provider-specific cloud concepts, leverage them & be aware of the pitfalls • Huge increase in scale and complexities • Shift in Day 1 & Day 2 away from traditional tools or processes • Cost Visualisation & Optimisation
58. Legacy -> Cloud-Native Apps • Mobile oriented • API-first design • Auto-scaling by default • Fault-tolerant by default • Support immutable infrastructure
 constructs

70. Cloud Education in the Academia
71. Top 5 Cloud Barriers to Cloud Adoption
72. Lack of Resource / Expertise • The demand still far outstrips supply for skilled
 cloud professionals => Re-training of IT Professionals
 might be an option. • Need to establish cloud competency centers
 to derive best practice and standards. • Gaining Cloud Architects and establishing 
 DevOps teams should be a key priority • Avoid silos & re-align business efforts
73. Security & Privacy • Where is the data center? Can I trust you? • Data at rest, in transit • Enterprises needs a better understanding of the shared
 security responsibilities model • Off-load non-mission critical workloads to
 Public Cloud while keeping mission critical workloads
 in Private Cloud? • How do you manage identity and authorisation
 of SaaS apps? Identity as a Service (IDaaS)?
74. Service Quality • Public Cloud Provider SLAs might not meet enterprise standards. • Enterprise Support options might not meet requirements. Custom agreements must be negotiated • Not able to control those standards • Not able to off-load risk sufficiently for concern
75. Audit, Regulatory & Compliance • Lack of understanding of the cloud • Traditional compliance needs to be re-looked • Regulatory concerns & unwillingness, 
 see-first approach
76. Managing Multiple Cloud Services • Significant differences between providers
 and models, pros/cons • Thus CTOs might not have formulated strategies • Spread risk by going hybrid, multiple
 clouds. Avoid vendor lock-in • Different breed of existing tools, know hows 
 and the tools to manage • Cloud Management Platforms / PaaS perhaps?
