Google Brings Anthos to AWS

Google announces the availability of the Anthos hybrid cloud management platform for Amazon Web Services and on-premises. The Microsoft Azure version remains in preview, with launch expected by end 2020.

IDC Identfies Largest IaaS, PaaS Workloads on Public Cloud

A study by IDC looks at enterprise workloads leveraging Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) on public cloud-- and points out Data Management, Application Development and Testing, and Data Analytics dominate IaaS and PaaS spending in 2018.

Driving such results are the migration of strategic and business critical workloads to public cloud infrastructure, the availability of open source options on cloud, initial adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities, and growth in cloud-native applications and Dev/Test use cases. Workloads such as CRM, ERM, SCM and other back-office applications do attract more spending, but enterprises consume such workloads as Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings. Similarly, most media streaming workloads are consumed as Digital Services (deployed on cloud-based infrastructure off-premises).
