In this episode, part one of two, Darren and Intel Cloud Solution Architects Dave Shrestha and Kevin Bleckman talk about the importance of a cloud broker organization. Dave and Kevin founded Intel’s cloud brokerage team about seven years ago. Intel workers were consuming the public cloud, and it was like the wild wild West with people just swiping their credit cards for access. Security was an issue and spending got out of control. To rein in the chaos, they created a cloud broker organization.

Cloud Broker Organization #56

Speaker: Rathinavel Chandran - Atos Expert, Principal Cloud Architect, Cloud Enterprise Solutions.

Organizations driven by either cost optimization or responding to competition, prioritizing Cloud Native Application development and migration of existing applications to public Cloud. This provides them the advantage of infrastructure to scale, pay per consumption model, etc. One of the key architectural decisions being microservice implementation, which provides several benefits like scale only relevant services, evolve selective features, reduce deployment cycle, supports polyglot technologies and so on. However, this comes with a cost of complexities in managing, like service-to-service communication, observability, service authentication etc. In this episode, we will explore what Service Mesh can offer to address these challenges, its architecture and the reason for organizations choosing to adapt it.
