EP 20 “Aviatrix provides bulletproof reliability, critical to aviation business ” - with special guest STEFFEN WAGNER (Sr. Enterprise Architect at Lufthansa Systems)

<p>Myself and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#">John Gonsalves</a> just recorded our 20th episode of "Lets talk cloud networking - unscripted" and who better person than <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#">Steffen Wagner</a> from Lufthansa systems to join us and share his personal cloud journey and lessons learned from leveraging <strong>#azurecloud</strong> <strong>#gcpcloud</strong> <strong>#awscloud</strong> as DC's are getting rapidly evacuated.</p> <p>Key points:</p> <p>1. Cloud needs are evolving rapidly and CEO/CIO/business leaders want you to "architect a future proof cloud" as all requirements are NOT known today".</p> <p>2. Cloud customers maturity has evolved from using CSP as just IaaS provider to helping business with faster application delivery and enable speed of innovation against competition.</p> <p>3. How moving to cloud has significantly help IT take control back and better respond to business needs.</p> <p>4. Abstract as much as possible in cloud and be careful of getting locked into CSP specific solutions such as Azure vWAN, AWS TGW, GCP NCC etc.. This will complex-ify operations and hinder your flexibility to move your apps in the cloud your business/customer wants.</p> <p>5. <strong>#aviatrix</strong> active/active resiliency and centralized management/visibility plane with intelligent routing across regions, clouds and on-prem allows for bulletproof stability critical to aviation business.</p> <p>Negative Consequence: &nbsp;Without Aviatrix, even small outages could result in flight cancellations and millions of revenue loss.</p> <p>6. Your app developers wants networking/security to get out of their way and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#">Aviatrix</a> provides self-service way to "consume" as part of their app delivery lifecycle.</p> <p>7. Follow a "multi-cloud" and "Cloud-First but not ONLY" strategy as small portion of apps may not be ready to be move to cloud. Take time to refactor and optimize to realize true benefits.</p> <p>Hope you enjoy.</p>
