Ep. 186 Improving Management of Complex Cloud Environments

When the cloud was first introduced to the Federal Government, their implementation had a “lift and shift” approach, essentially moving servers from one location to another. But cloud technology has matured into a complex ecosystem spanning public, private, and hybrid environments – creating distinct management challenges. 

This week on Feds At the Edge, federal leaders offer their suggestions on managing this ever-evolving and complex landscape, with a focus on training, understanding data and leveraging cloud functions. 

Dr. Gregg Bailey, Deputy Chief Information Officer in the Office of the CIO for the US Census Bureau underscores the importance of recognizing data management in a hybrid cloud is different, and suggests training on native cloud functions to leverage the new technologies may be a path of success.  

Kristin Ruiz, Deputy Assistant Administrator, Deputy CIO for TSA, keeps us focused on security implementation with zero trust principles and strong data governance.  

Tune in on your favorite podcasting platform now to hear what they have to say, and how with the proper security controls, AI has the potential to enable improved management of these complex cloud environments.
