Cisco Hybrid Solution for Kubernetes on Amazon allows developers to create their apps either on AWS’s cloud service or on their traditional servers in containers.

Kip Compton, senior vice president of Cisco’s Cloud Platform and Solutions group explained that developers are often expected to work in fragmented environments, with their applications hosted either on the cloud or in traditional on-premise environments. But when switching to a hybrid model, it’s often a complicated process to get up and running, with technologies, teams, and vendors needing to work closely together to make sure apps can move from cloud to on-premise seamlessly.

When setting up apps, developers can choose to deploy them on either AWS or on their on-premise architecture running Cisco’s Container Platform. And if they want to switch the applications from one to the other, they can do so. This means businesses can take advantage of the cloud’s flexibility with the privacy and regulatory approval of traditional, on-premise architecture at the same time.

Complying with AWS’s RI/SP Policy Update: Save More, Stress Less

Shared Reserved Instances (RIs) and Savings Plans (SPs) have been a common workaround for reducing EC2 costs, but their value has always been limited. On average, these shared pools deliver only 25% savings on On-Demand costs—far below the 60% savings achievable with automated reservation tools. For IT and DevOps teams, the trade-offs include added complexity, […]
