The public cloud, contrary to perception, doesn’t make management easier; in most cases, it’s just the opposite, according to Wally McDermid, VP Cloud Business Development for Scality. And when it comes to multi-cloud scenarios, things just get hairier. Wally discusses these difficulties with ActualTech Media Partner James Green in this episode of “10 on Tech.” It includes these key features needed in a proper multi-cloud management tool: Small number of APIs Data stored in an open, readable format Deployment flexibility, both on-premises and in the cloud An open source version available, to avoid lock-in Wally also details some of Scality’s success stories and how they’ve saved customers both grief and money. Highlights of the show include: Why data is the most challenging part of multi-cloud management Applications don’t change often, but data does—and quickly The growing problem of government regulations Why fewer APIs are better How customers are using Scality to manage their clouds Resource links from the show: Scality homepage -- https://www.scality.com/ The Zenko GitHub project -- https://github.com/scality/Zenko Zenko sandbox environment -- https://www.zenko.io/try-zenko/ Solved: The Scality Magazine -- https://www.scality.com/solved/ We hope you enjoy this episode; and don’t forget to subscribe to the show on iTunes, Google Play, or Stitcher.­
