Background

Traditional On-Premise Environments

In traditional environments, customers:

  • Had to guess infrastructure needs.
  • Could not afford to test at scale.
  • Had a fear of change.
  • Could not justify experiments.
  • Face architecture that was frozen in time.

Cloud Environments

In cloud environments, customers:

  • Stop guessing capacity needs.
  • Test systems at production scales.
  • Automate to make architectural experimentation easier.
  • Allow for evolutionary architectures.
  • Build data-driven architecture.
