Establish clear policies, roles and responsibilities for team members across the hybrid cloud ecosystem.Identify workloads and determine where to locate them, whether in a private or public cloud setting. For instance, a financial services company can use a private cloud to store sensitive customer data and a public cloud for testing new mobile apps for customer service. Consider which workloads can be updated with cloud-native, microservices-based technologies to improve overall performance.Review cloud SLAs (service level agreements)—specifically their conditions and guarantees concerning system uptime, latency and data availability. In a complex hybrid multicloud cloud setting, misaligned SLAs can negatively impact deal pricing, quality of service delivery and customer experience, so it is essential to read all terms carefully.Create a holistic zero-trust approach to security management from the top down to achieve end-to-end consistency. Ultimately, data security is the data owner's responsibility, which means organizations must ensure consistent security, compliance and regulation strategies across on-premises, private cloud and public cloud settings., Hybrid cloud management (HCM) is the oversight and management of an organization's IT infrastructure and services across on-premises, private cloud, public cloud and edge settings.
