Cloud architectures evolve as
your workloads grow – there
is ongoing expert work to do
in evolving to meet your
changing needs
Cloud ops are not ‘automagic’
– ensuring your workloads are
highly available and highly
performing requires certified
ops experts
There are complexities
associated with operating in
the cloud securely and with
strong auditability that require
specialized skill sets
