Hybrid Cloud
Although the cloud has simplified infrastructure management, it is becoming increasingly difficult to seamlessly manage and integrate multiple cloud platforms. This has resulted in security risks, increase in multi-cloud management costs to support specific skills required for individual clouds. As per Gartner, "In 2019, hybrid IT will be the standard. Technical professionals focused on the cloud must continue to advance cloud-first strategies, embrace multi-cloud and maintain on-premises environments, with a focus on integration and brokering."
