• On the other hand , organizations with a hybrid infrastructure based on a mix of cloud and onpremises systems have a low perception of the difficulty : 28 % from the USA , 16 % from Brazil and 22 % for Mexico .
• The average number of platforms and services within a multi-cloud environment : Six from the USA , five from Brazil and six from Mexico .
• Finally , IT leaders say infrastructure management is an increasing drain on resources ; 62 % agreed from the USA , 50 % from Brazil and 58 % from Mexico .
Research reveals :
• A total of 99 % of organizations have a multi-cloud environment , in an environment that has an average of five different platforms . These include Amazon Web Services , Microsoft Azure , Google Cloud Platform and IBM Red Hat , among other vendors .
• To manage multi-cloud environments , organizations rely on an average of seven different infrastructure monitoring solutions . 57 % say this makes optimizing infrastructure performance and resource consumption difficult .
• 81 % of IT leaders say that using Kubernetes has made their infrastructure more dynamic and challenging to manage .
• 56 % of IT leaders say traditional infrastructure monitoring solutions no longer serve their purpose in today ’ s multi-cloud , Kubernetes world .
“ Multi-cloud strategies have become critical to keeping up with the fast pace of Digital Transformation , but
DEPENDENCIES ARE GROWING AT AN EXPONENTIAL RATE , DRIVEN BY EVER-FASTER DEPLOYMENT FREQUENCY AND CLOUD-NATIVE ARCHITECTURES .
teams struggle to manage the complexity these environments bring ,” said Bernd Greifeneder , Founder and CTO of Dynatrace .
“ Dependencies are growing at an exponential rate , driven by ever-faster deployment frequency and cloud-native architectures , which mean constant change . Open-source technologies further complicate things by adding even more data to manage . Each cloud service or platform has its monitoring solution to compound the problem .
“ To create a complete picture , teams must manually extract information from each solution and then join it with data they get from other dashboards . Organizations must find a way to help them reduce the time they spend on manual tasks , so they can refocus on strategic work that delivers new , high-quality service to customers .”
Additional report findings include :
• 61 % of IT leaders say observability blind spots in multi-cloud environments will be the most significant risk to Digital Transformation , as long as teams don ’ t have an easy way to monitor their infrastructure from end to end .
• 58 % of IT leaders say that as cloud services grow , infrastructure management is increasingly a waste of resources , forcing teams to constantly review different solutions and dashboards for insights .
• IT teams waste nearly half ( 42 %) of their time on routine , manual work to ‘ keep the lights on ’ in their environments , resulting in substantial lost
