From the perspective of software development and implementation cycles , the cloud allows for the organization and optimization of processes among different teams , leading to higher software quality and improved release times for new functionalities .
Another significant improvement that the cloud provides is the ability to eliminate data silos within companies to meet the demands of the current economy , which requires working openly with the same information base for any organization member , making it more competitive .
The adoption of the cloud brings a series of implications and challenges that must be handled with great care , including :
• Being cloud-native increases complexity . Multicloud architectures , Kubernetes and serverless are the standard for building modern technology solutions . The choice and flexibility offered by digital cloud service providers allow organizations to create architectures that suit their unique needs . While this enhances agility and accelerates innovation , it also means that technological environments have become increasingly distributed and complex
• Statistics tell us about an average of 35 different technologies involved in resolving a transaction from start to finish
• Complexity has grown beyond what humans can manage . Every click , swipe or touch of a user , every activated cloud instance or attempted cyberattack generates more data . Operations , development and security teams must use this data to identify the insights needed to optimize services and effectively solve problems
• Distributed architectures have created silos . Each new technology brings its monitoring tool that IT , development and security teams use to maintain visibility of its performance and availability . The challenge is that each mechanism requires different skills to interpret the meaning of the data , with many ways of organizing and visualizing metrics . Each tool provides visibility into a single layer of the technology stack , creating data silos .
Being cloud-native increases complexity . Multi-cloud architectures , Kubernetes and serverless are the standard for building modern technology solutions .
Latin America is home to organizations highly advanced in these processes , benefiting from optimized operating costs , accurate information for the organization and more time available for innovation and competitiveness .
