Cloud Essential Series – 02/Apr/2020 – Direct DevOps from Quality Thought

Hybrid Cloud Networking

Consider a scenario where you have workloads on-premise and also on cloud and for the application needs there should be communication between workloads on cloud and on-premise
Solution 1: Consider having workloads on public internet (i.e. each server will have public ip address and can be accessed over internet)
- Solves the problem of communication
- Cons:
  - Your servers are exposed to internet and any one from internet can access your servers.
Solution 2: Use Virtual Private Networks (VPN) to be specific site to site VPN
- Rather than exposing all servers to the public internet, here we would set up a vpn device on-premise and vpn device on-cloud. Both of these devices will be on public internet with strict rules of communication
- With this your servers will not require public ip address and still communicate to the servers on the other network using private ip address
Solution 3: Consider leased line or direct line to cloud

To make applications run of cloud we would require vm’s with various factors.
Size of the VMs:
- number of vCPUS:
- RAM size:
- Storage Size:
Operating System: Generally we search or create Server Operating Systems
- Most Clouds support
  - Linux
  - Windows
  - Free BSD
Licensing:
- BYOL (Bring your own license)
- Pay as you go
Cost: Ensure you choose a Compute which saves cost.
