 hybrid cloud. What started out as a buzzword more than a decade ago really is the reality for companies today, but what's holding them back from having this become a central point of their strategy going forward? I wrote a new ebook to give my perspective on hybrid cloud as a red-hatter. One of the challenges with hybrid is it is not easy to define because it does mean different things for different people. One of the key things we wanted to do in this ebook is help look at some of the architectural decisions that companies need to make to fit where they are and some of the best practices that their peers have been doing over the last few years. We also give you the red hat perspective and what we've learned by partnering with thousands of companies over many years to help them build and expand their hybrid solutions. While it's a great meme to say that hybrid cloud is just someone else's computer and while it is true that there are still computers and servers, even in serverless, we do need to look at how we utilize cloud in various environments because we want to take advantage not only of the economics but the functionality in the innovation and new technologies that are being created in those places. Hybrid can either be a challenge or it can be an opportunity. How do we make sure that we can tap into innovation, unlock the potential of what our developers can do and make sure that we can respond to the needs of the business? Your company may find itself hybrid and it wasn't necessarily by choice. You have the opportunity to do hybrid right but you'll want informed and experienced help. This ebook is a starting point to look at the architectural decisions that you will make to help unlock the potential of hybrid possibilities.
