Multi-cloud adoption is growing fast. Learn how to thrive in a hybrid cloud environment by combining the power of platform teams with a consistent cloud operating model — a common and powerful framework for adopting cloud services.

Planning to implement
Cloud computing is complex — adoption doesn't have to be. Make your move to the cloud in stages by adopting, standardizing, then scaling.
Stage 1
Engineering teams begin to make use of different cloud services for application delivery. The goal is to experiment with new technologies and learn quickly.
Stage 2
Operations, security, and network engineers working on shared services are collectively called a platform team. Together, they create a common cloud infrastructure foundation across all public clouds. Platform teams have three goals in mind: accelerating application delivery, reducing risk, and increasing efficiency.
Stage 3
Organizations apply the cloud operating model at scale across the entire private estate, including private cloud environments and on-premises datacenters.
Moving to a cloud operating model has helped these industry leaders solve their most pressing infrastructure challenges — like increasing speed, reducing risk, and boosting efficiency.
Many organizations begin their cloud adoption journeys with app teams building and running their own set of processes, tools, and architecture. While this pattern works well for experimentation and testing, it doesn’t scale and leads to cloud silos.
This centralized team of engineers has operational responsibility for the cloud platform. They also encourage its adoption internally and build a roadmap of enhancement requests. These practices help ensure that the platform is used and that new business requirements are supported over time.
