The year 2020 has firmly established one thing about how people work—remote work is here to stay, and companies will need to enable remote employees as a norm and not an exception. The year has had a profound impact, starting with business continuity plans in the early days of the global pandemic but evolving to fundamental rethinking at many enterprises of the way business is conducted. Social distancing guidelines have created a decentralized, remote work force and judging by data from a recent Gallup poll…
As a society, we’ve been forced seemingly overnight into a new work environment with offices closing (and many companies permanently downsizing office space) and remote work seeming more and more like it’s here to stay. The new normal is sure to be more digital, and enterprises are moving quickly to adapt to these changes by enabling remote work and further accelerating the migration to the cloud. Unfortunately, these rapid changes have also opened up new avenues for attackers to exploit. If companies are to remain…
Observability and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) were both borne out of best operations practices at hyperscale companies in the past decade and quickly spread through the DevOps and Cloud-Native communities. Today, they are also being adopted by some large enterprise moving to the cloud, something that the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated along with expanded Work from Home (WFH). Observability positions itself as a superset of past monitoring practices. Where legacy monitoring monitors the health of a system, observability is about the care architects and developers…
In its simplest terms, API (Application Programming Interface) defines the methods that can be used to interact with a particular system, the data and format the system requires for each method, and the expected output for each method. In the world of enterprise software, APIs are the intermediaries that allow two pieces of software to talk to each other. Similarly, in the world of Networking, APIs provide an efficient and abstracted interface into a complex system that can be used by other systems to build…
In less than one month,the global enterprise cloud community will convene for a 100% digital live ONUG Fall. Taking place October 14-15, the community will focus on the alignment of business and digital strategy for value creation via building and running of secure digital enterprises. Not only will digital transformation underpinning technologies and approaches be explored, but models to align IT organization, skills and culture to enable digital success will be discussed. The unprecedented global pandemic has fundamentally changed personal and consumer behavior, work environments,…
You may not immediately recognize the term “cloud governance,” but if you’re working in the cloud, you’re probably already implementing it. You might be a startup that needs to prevent users from creating admin accounts, or a big organization staying compliant with standards such as HIPAA or NIST. Maybe you limit cloud use to avoid cloud bills with a scary number of zeros. Whatever your use case, working in the cloud requires some degree of governance around user access, budgets, and compliance. And if you’re…
ONUG Working Groups “amplify voice to the vendor community,” said moderator Nick Lippis. ONUG currently has six working groups with a total of 373 volunteers that address top challenges in tech. Working groups serve as a vehicle for generating industry change. They include a diverse group of ONUG community members, including IT professionals, larger enterprise cloud consumers, vendors, service providers, and solutions integrators. A recent ONUG webinar highlighted four of these working groups. Over the next month, we’ll highlight each group, describing their objective, current…
This Wednesday on September 16 I will be moderating a webinar titled Automated Governance: An Organizational Imperative for Enterprise Digital Transformation . Joining me will be Don Duet, CEO, Concourse Labs and Mike Ryan, VP Tech Strategy, Freddie Mac. The subject of automated governance is one of particular interest to all of us here at ONUG because poor governance gets in the way of all digital transformation projects as the lack of control of information and data is the root cause of project failure. As…

Freddie Mac and Concourse Labs Discuss the Cloud Governance Imperative Cloud computing has become the infrastructure facilitating a new remote workforce, creating immersive customer experiences, accelerating innovation, and providing a more resilient foundation on which businesses run. It is the heart of digital transformation! While software-as-a-service (SaaS) remains the largest cloud segment, according to Gartner, infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) are growing much faster. This is largely driven by the need for organizations to streamline innovation to stay ahead of the competition, build greater efficiencies…
