Speaker
Abstract
You’ve committed to the journey of running in the cloud. However, you realize it’s not quite as simple as moving or writing a new application on a cloud offering. Between a diverse service catalog, greater developer autonomy, rapid provisioning, surprise billing, and changing security requirements, you might find that hosting applications on the cloud does not make the most of the cloud.
In this session, Rosemary will outline the patterns and practices that help you move from cloud-hosted to cloud-native architecture and maximize the benefit and use of the cloud. From essential application and infrastructure considerations to dynamically observing cost and managing security, you can use these learnings to approach a cloud-native architecture.
Topics
QCon London 2023 is a three day conference for senior software engineers, architects and team leads. An international program committee of working engineers selects every session. Patterns and practices, not products and pitches.
