Improving Management of Complex Cloud Environments

The compute environment is getting more and more complicated for government agencies. Public cloud and private cloud, on-premises data centers, edge locations, government-owned assets and BYO devices – and now with the integration of AI and advanced cloud services – agencies face the critical task of orchestrating a vast array of data, applications, networks, and systems across increasingly intricate control planes. Blending all these solutions is done for the benefits they offer, individually or collectively, including cost efficiency, flexibility, scalability, improved security (by matching workloads to their compute/storage requirements), and strengthened disaster recovery and operational continuity. But in addition to the increased complexity, this kind of blended solution raises issues of integration and interoperability, data governance and compliance, and network connectivity issues such as latency. Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss their strategies for managing, auditing, optimizing, migrating, and securing complex information pipelines that span traditional on-premise, hybrid, and cloud-native settings.
