Unlocking the Cloud Operating Model: People, Process, Tools
How does enterprise IT shift from being technology gatekeepers to enablers. From ticket-based IT to self-service IT?
Speakers
Brent HoldenGlobal Field CTO, HashiCorp
To unlock the fastest path to value from the cloud, enterprises must consider how to industrialize the application delivery process across each layer of the cloud environment, namely
- Provisioning
- Security
- Networking
- Deployment
This means embracing the cloud operating model and adapting your people, process, and tools to it.
In this webinar, HashiCorp Global CTO Brent Holden will look at the implications of the cloud operating model and present solutions for IT teams to adopt this model across infrastructure provisioning, security, networking, and application delivery.
