In this episode of The Cloud Collective Podcast, host John Kundtz interviews Robert Erickson, a cloud computing pioneer and VP of Strategy and Growth at Kyndryl.
We start by unpacking why less than a third of crucial workloads have transitioned to the public cloud. Then, delve into the art of balancing public cloud environments with traditional on-premises data centers.
Robert offers advice around best practices for getting started and insights on potential pitfalls and how to steer clear of them on your digital transformation journey.
Key Discussion Points:
• Strategic Balance Insights: Understanding the strategic balance between public cloud and private data centers
• Navigating the Cloud Migration Challenge: Avoiding an overemphasis on technology without defined business outcomes
• Strategic Balance Insights: Starting small with low-risk cloud projects before complex mission-critical ones
• Learning from the Field: Learning from real-world examples of effective digital transformations
• Collaborative Strategies: Working with experts to develop a tailored cloud adoption strategy
• Balancing Act: Balancing public cloud benefits (agility, innovation) with private cloud strengths (control, security)
