The digital clouds are parting, and shining new light on once-fledgling cloud-computing efforts.

Cloud computing, once the exclusive turf of the duopoly of Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, +3.31% and Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +0.48%, is becoming a more egalitarian field with stable competition thanks to companies move toward leveraging multiple cloud-computing systems at once opening potential riches for Alphabet Inc. parent Google GOOGL, +0.15% GOOG, +0.19%, Oracle Corp. ORCL, +0.05%, and International Business Machines Corp. IBM, +0.85%.

The move to what is known as a multi-cloud approach handling the cloud-computing needs of enterprises and government agencies has turned the multibillion-dollar industry on its proverbial ear, giving every major cloud provider a shot at landing contracts with enterprise customers and government agencies. And it is happening without threats of lawsuits or antitrust legislation.

Financial services. Health care. Retail. Government agencies. Nearly every industry is embracing multi-cloud, Tom Keane, corporate vice president of Azure Global at Microsoft, told MarketWatch.

It is a logical continuation of moving more stuff to the cloud, Clay Magouyrk, executive vice president of Oracle Cloud, told MarketWatch. The reality is that 75% to 85% of server-side computing is stored in on-premises computing that will eventually move to cloud computing.

Gartners 2020 cloud end-user buying behavior study found 76% of respondents reported using more than one cloud provider, a figure that has increased and continues to rise.

Customers have choice now. Four to five years ago, they had one or two options, Will Grannis, managing director of Google Clouds office of the CTO. A major consideration, he said, is agility in technology.

From 2016: Tech is king of Wall Street, thanks to the cloud

If you stick with one vendor, you are beholden to their technology, Grannis told MarketWatch. As a former CTO, what you want is whats best for customers and they want cloud vendors to provide apps and services that are flexible. And what happens when the market shifts and user demands change?

Gartner analyst Sid Nag acknowledged multi-cloud is impacting Amazon and Microsoft to some degree, but is unlikely to radically shift market share numbers or revenue in a total global market expected to reach $482 billion in 2022, up from $396 billion this year.

Amazons AWS will maintain its status as primary vendor among most businesses because of onerous costs to remove and replace already existing systems. The others will get more crumbs as enterprises expand operations to include specialized technology from other vendors, Nag told MarketWatch

Still, the playing field has become much more crowded as evidenced by competition over the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC), a multibillion-dollar Defense Department contract expected to be parceled to Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, and IBM. Its predecessor, the now-canceledJoint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI), went to just one vendor (Microsoft), JWCC could be parceled to all five major players.

Were just coming to the end of Chapter 1 of the cloud. As JEDI showed, there is a shift to multi-cloud to address risk and cybersecurity, Howard Boville, head of IBM Cloud Platform, told MarketWatch.

The egalitarian nature of multi-cloud deals is a byproduct of blur-fast innovation in the field and IT self preservation. Executives at all five major cloud providers used a variation of the word risk to explain a key motivation for customers moving to multiple vendors: They want to protect and safeguard data with the best technology available, and at any time.

According to Keane, cloud customers are increasingly spending on existing infrastructure to shore up cybersecurity, as well as enhancing collaboration among employees in flexible data systems. The specter of COVID and its emphasis on working from home has only accelerated cloud adoption.

It is all about optimization and design of business processes and models such as procure to pay, record to report, issue to resolution, opportunity to order. This forces you down a path to work with multiple vendors, Xerox Chief Technology Officer Naresh Shanker told MarketWatch.

New rules will be needed to deal with operational risks from banks relying on outsourced cloud computing from Amazon, Google, Microsoft and others for providing services to customers, the Bank of England said on Friday.

Regulated firms will continue to have primary responsibility for managing risks stemming from their outsourcing and third-party dependencies, the BoEs Financial Policy Committee said in a statement.

However, additional policy measures, some requiring legislative change, are likely to be needed to mitigate the financial stability risks stemming from concentration in the provision of some third-party services.

Measures should include an ability to designate some third parties as critical, meaning they would be required to meet resilience standards which would be regularly tested.

The BoE and the Financial Conduct Authority are due to publish a discussion paper on the subject next year, it said. The measures are similar to those in a European Union law now making its way through the approval process.

These tests and sector exercises of critical third parties could potentially be carried out in collaboration with overseas financial regulators and other relevant UK authorities, the BoE said.

The BoE had already sounded a note of caution about the cloud and is now checking banks for their exit strategy, or how quickly they could switch to an alternative cloud provider or in-house back up if there is a cloud outage to avoid disruption to customers, consultants KPMG said.

This has already led to banks thinking harder about the business case for the cloud in some services, and whether it would get the green light from regulators.

Trying to replicate this service on premises or a different cloud actually doubles your cost, said Mark Corns, a director for technology consulting at KPMG.

Banks who moved early into the cloud are having to retrofit resilience requirements, Corns said.

What we are seeing is a much more tentative approach to what goes into the cloud. Now weve got this clearer guidance from the regulators, what its doing is challenging the banks to figure out what and how they gain the benefit, Corns said.

Lookout Named a Global Leader for Cloud Security Service in the 2021 Stratus Cloud Computing Awards - WKYT

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) is serious about Kubernetes cloud skills.

Cloud-native is difficult. Actually, its not, the saying is borrowed from Life is difficult, the opening lines of M. Scott Pecks seminal human psyche analysis book The Road Less Traveled. Cloud actually isnt inherently difficult at all because so many of the aspects of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model of cloud computing are provided in automated, autonomously controlled - often accelerated and optimized - packages of consumable flexible IT power.

But, if cloud and the drive to build our IT systems with increasing cloud-native applications and services is viewed by the external observer, they might be forgiven for thinking that many of the working mechanics of cloud need a lot of training, upskilling, mentoring and tuition.

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) puts a big emphasis on skills and cloud software engineering excellence. Rightly so, surely? We dont want the new always-on on-demand world of cloud that feeds the applications and services we all access on our smartphones, tablets and laptops to be clunky and inefficient. After all, we all know what happens when Facebook goes down due to a datacenter server reconfiguration episode, right?

With skills at the forefront of where CNCF members drive many of their efforts, a good proportion of learnings are being directed towards Kubernetes (pronounced koo-ber-net-ees). This open source software toolset was gifted to the community by Google and works to orchestrate the containers (smaller discrete components of software that exist in cloud networks) used across modern IT systems.

Used in this sense of the word, the term orchestration means Kubernetes can work as a platform to automate the deployment, scaling and operations of database management systems for the cloud. Derived from the Greek word for pilot or helmsperson, Kubernetes is one of the fastest-growing elements of the cloud-native world.

Among the firms working to try and widen the global cloud-native skills base is CNCF member organization Red Hat. Explaining where his companys efforts are directed in this space, VP & GM for Red Hat developer tools Mithun Dhar says that his team is focused on technologies that provide Kubernetes services to build interactive computational environments that help solve common deployment challenges.

The keyword in that last sentence is common. Were building a lot of cloud and we (the business world and its IT function) are building an increasing amount of cloud-native applications and data services. This means were seeing some of the same shapes, workload requirements, data cleaning tasks, code refactoring, preparation and provisioning processes happen in different places. Where companies like Red Hat can help is to provide an acceleration advantage derived from its wider experiences with customers and its own in-house Intellectual Property (IP), platform strength and expertise.

In this regard, Red Hat is providing ways for cloud-native deployments to be executed more quickly and accurately. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.4 provides policy templating (a policy being the prescripted way data is managed in any given system) and zero-touch provisioning. Of particular use in edge i.e. Internet of Things (IoT) computing environments, Red Hat also here combines what the company calls validated patterns for edge to reduce deployment complexity, save time and improve the accuracy of the cloud-native systems being developed.

Red Hats community contribution to Kubernetes learning is called Kube by Example and it features a collection of Kubernetes-focused tutorials, news and community interaction channels. Also keen to push the skilling-up effort is CNCF member Spectro Cloud, which has announced the release of V2 of its Palette platform, the latest iteration of its end-to-end enterprise Kubernetes management platform.

The ongoing growth of Kubernetes adoption has created an industry need for innovation around how Kubernetes is being used, says Tenry Fu, CEO and co-founder at Spectro Cloud. Customers are telling us that there is a gap in terms of ease of use and sophistication when it comes to Kubernetes management, as they prepare to move more container-based applications to production. With this new version, we have created a cohesive set of all the different capabilities that an enterprise needs to confidently scale their efforts. This platform comes with more deployment options to include edge and bare metal support and additional features that provide enhanced cost optimization and governance controls.

Fu argues that there is no need to choose or balance between usability and flexibility. His firms technology attempts to extend and incorporates the vendor-neutral CNCFs Cluster API for best-in-class declarative Kubernetes management. This mission here for all firms (or so it appears) is a collective goal to make Kubernetes more accessible to all organizations.

Paul Nashawaty, senior analyst at ESG says that the industry is now widely focused on how to move to the next level of Kubernetes maturity and towards production environments.

This challenge ranked very high in our most recent container studies. There isnt a large enough talent pool of qualified applicants who are experienced in managing Kubernetes to meet the growing need for management, said Nashawaty.

Back at CNCF itself, the organization has created its own Kubernetes Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) exam. Described as a pre-professional certification, this exam is designed for candidates interested in advancing to the professional level through a demonstrated understanding of Kubernetes foundational knowledge and skills.

A certified KCNA student will confirm conceptual knowledge of the entire cloud-native ecosystem, particularly focusing on Kubernetes. It covers how to deploy an application using basic kubectl commands, the architecture of Kubernetes (containers, pods, nodes, clusters), understanding the cloud-native landscape and projects (storage, networking, GitOps, service mesh) and understanding the principles of cloud-native security.

"Training and certification are highly sought by the cloud-native community, with over 100,000 registrations to date for Kubernetes exams, said Katie Gamanji, ecosystem advocate, CNCF. Existing certification programmes have been aimed at skilled professionals who have hands-on expertise in production [i.e. working real-world deployed software] environments. Community feedback has revealed the need for a more beginner-friendly and inclusive evaluation, which is relevant to newcomers across different jobs, from engineers to product managers to marketing."

CNCF executive director Priyanka Sharma has echoed Gamanjis sentiment and said that training and skills is core to making the cloud-native world really work in live production. In her view, KCNA fills this gap as an entry-level certification that invites new adopters to demonstrate their skills and knowledge of the cloud-native ecosystem

What really matters in terms of skills development in Kubernetes today is being able to get all software engineers - and other business stakeholders from marketers to data analysts - familiar with (and comfortable with) the complete landscape of the way this technology is used in cloud-native environments. Moving from the basics to actually being to touch and work with Kubernetes code is really empowering. Facts show that cloud-native has become the scaffolding of innovation in the cloud-native world throughout the pandemic that we have all been (and are still, largely) living through. When you want to build technology products and services quickly and also reliably (so that they dont fall over) - which all organizations are now compelled to do more than ever - you need to adopt the cloud-native paradigm of software development and delivery, said Sharma.

From what Sharma is saying, there appears to be a lot of job opportunity out there because there is so much demand for cloud-native skillsets among technology vendors and across all types of commercial organizations.

Thomas Keenan is senior product marketing manager at Kasten by Veeam, a Kubernetes native backup and disaster recovery company in the ascendancy. As a CNCF supporter and member, Keenan agrees with the wider sentiments expressed in this discussion and analysis of the industry. He reminds us that some reports note that 90% of organizations surveyed are using Kubernetes in some fashion, but, throughout, a lack of Kubernetes training continues to be a major challenge for the community.

Companies are casting what I would call a wide net in order to try and recruit software engineers into Kubernetes administration and management roles in the Americas and elsewhere. Some firms are taking on rookies in cloud virtualization as the next best option, but virtualization skills do not track and translate directly to Kubernetes when it comes to the complexity of real world implementations with their scale and complexity, said Keenan.

Making note of his firms Kasten Kubernetes Learning Series, Keenan points to the usefulness of self-paced labs as a key training vehicle for people entering this sector of the total IT ecosystem. With recent CNCF exam certifications focused on a range of skillsets, from entry-level to advanced, he also advises a long-term view of the skilling-up challenge at hand.

If basic core Kubernetes skills cover areas like back up, security and looking after application consistency, then we also need to think about roles where real heavy lifting is going on, where big scalability is called for and where hugely complex projects are being shouldered. At the edge in the IoT, we see retail and real estate making increasing use of Kubernetes due to the wide number of data assets and componentized nature of the systems being built to serve this space, especially in the wake of the pandemic. We all need to think about Kubernetes skills now, so this discussion has some legs, concluded Keenan.

The upshot and ramifications of what is going on here may not quite be clear to us as we stand today. Kubernetes has deep complexity in some areas and isnt actually hindering the development of cloud in any way at all, but its need for skilled practitioners has come to the fore and should (arguably) be seen as a clarion call for would-be cloud software engineers who want to position themselves well in the job market of tomorrow.

Cloud isnt difficult, but sequencing the genome of its deeper DNA can throw up what can seem like a triple helix challenge. Get skilled, get connected and get vaccinated.

Cloud and Kubernetes skills are needed for every software engineer.

Google is extending its infrastructure to the edge, bringing its cloud hardware and software into telecom networks and customer data centers, including on-premises facilities.

With its new Google Distributed Cloud offering, Google will provide managed cloud nodes that can reside in facilities operated by carriers, colocation providers, and customers. It features a portfolio of managed hardware and software that enable Google Cloud workloads wherever they are needed.

Now more than ever, organizations are looking to accelerate their cloud adoption, said Sachin Gupta, Google Cloud GM and VP of Product for IaaS. Some workloads cannot move to the public cloud entirely or right away, due to factors such as industry or region-specific compliance and data sovereignty needs, low latency or local data-processing requirements, or because they need to run close to other services.

The announcement ahead of todays Google Next conference highlights the growing role of cloud platforms in the growth of edge computing. The new offering, along with the rollout of AWS Local Zones and Microsofts Azure Modular Data Center, further extends the reach of major cloud computing platforms in the edge computing sector.

Edge computing extends data processing and storage closer to the growing universe of devices and sensors at the edge of the network, enabling new technologies and services across low-latency wireless connectivity. Many startups and service providers are targeting edge computing, but cloud platforms play a central role in IT infrastructure, and their strategies will have huge impact on this emerging market.

For Google, the Distributed Cloud enables new ways to leverage partners like carriers and hosting companies to deliver services like 5G wireless, low-latency appplications and hybrid clouds.

The Distributed Cloud offering comes in two services:

Google Distributed Cloud is built on Anthos, an open-source-based platform that unifies the management of infrastructure and applications across multiple data centers and public clouds.

Using Google Distributed Cloud, customers can migrate or modernize applications and process data locally with Google Cloud services, including databases, machine learning, data analytics and container management. Customers can also leverage third-party services from leading vendors in their own dedicated environment.

Google envisions four deployment scenarios for its Distributed Cloud Edge:

Many of todays Google Next announcements build on Googles relationships with partners, like chipmakers Intel and NVIDIA, equipment vendors including Cisco, Dell, HPE, and NetApp, and telecom equipment specialist Ericsson.

Google Distributed Cloud supports Ericssons vision of the network becoming a platform of innovation, enabling companies across the ecosystem to deliver the applications of the future the way they need to, unlocking the full potential of 5G and edge, said Rishi Bhaskar, Vice President and Head of Hyperscale Cloud Providers for Ericsson North America.

Distributed Cloud Hosted is designed to address data sovereignty concerns, especially for customers in Europe, where the European Unions GDPR privacy regulations are boosting demand for cloud technology that can keep workloads within national borders. Google can now team with local partners to provide compliant hosted solutions for public-sector customers and companies with strict data residency, security or privacy requirements.

Google Distributed Cloud Hosted does not require connectivity to Google Cloud at any time to manage infrastructure, services, APIs, or tooling, and uses a local control plane provided by Anthos for operations. The service will be available in preview in the first half of 2022.

Two of the first partnerships are with T-Systems in Germany and OVHcloud in France.

T-Systems and Google Cloud share a common goal of developing cloud-based solutions for European governments and enterprises that meet their digital sovereignty, sustainability and economic objectives, said Frank Strecker, Senior Vice President Global Cloud Computing & Big Data and Edge, T-Systems. Together we will offer a sovereign cloud solution for customers in Germany that gives them peace of mind to meet their rapidly evolving data, operational, and software sovereignty requirements.
