SHOW: Season 2, Show 6OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast,Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast,  Cloudcast Basics.FRAMEWORK FOR CONSIDERATIONEven though there are some similar technologies between what you do today and in the cloud, how you interact with them can be very different. 

  1. Do you have people on staff that are curious about technology? Want to learn new things?
  2. Be prepared to invest in your people learning how to work in the cloud. Certifications in the new world are valuable. 
  3. Don’t assume that “like” technologies are alike between data center and cloud.
  4. Don’t dismiss “like” skills as not being transferable to the cloud.  
  5. Invest in automation. Invest in security. 
  6. Don’t be afraid to bring in some new people with cloud skills. 

REAL-WORLD CONSIDERATIONS:

  • Cloud skills and certifications tend to pay better than legacy skills and certifications (check out Indeed, Dice, etc.)
  • Don’t dismiss the value of understanding existing corporate culture, but also don’t expect it to easily or seamlessly transfer to the cloud.
  • Expect security and compliance to be the slowest to adapt to a move to cloud - the things they have to answer to (regulations, compliance, auditors, etc.) are even slower to change.
