Going Cloud Native - The problem with two-speed-IT

1

Google Cloud SQL

The cloud allows us to focus on the essentials. We use SaaS where possible. We do not build our own load-balancers or start hosting a SQL database ourselves. We replace hand-crafted assets with cloud products. E.g., use Google’s Cloud SQL instead of our own PostgreSQL instance. This reduces complexity and allows us to put more energy into our products. We are more efficient.

Google Compute Engine

Lift-and-Shift: we take an asset and host it more or less 1:1 onto the cloud. E.g., taking a monolithic JEE application and move it to Google Cloud Compute VMs. We get rid of the underlying operations components and machines. But do not enjoy other cloud capabilities.
