We tend to split the cloud world today into just two paradigms - public and private. Public works. Private doesn’t…. Or so says Gartner. Let’s compare side by side.

1. Cloud Recipe:
1 Part OpenStack, 9 Parts Something Else

2. Failure to change
the operational
model
Doing too little
Failure to change
funding model
Doing too much
Focusing on the
wrong benefits
Using the wrong
technologies
Something else
Nothing is going
wrong
Problems encountered by 95% of private clouds

Doing too little

6. Can I get access?
File a Jira ticket and we’
ll setup a tenant for you.
It’s asking me how many
VMs I’ll need and for how
long… I don’t know.
How else are we supposed
to know how much to bill
your budget?
Isn’t it supposed to be
metered in real time?
We’ll invest in implementing
that after we know that
people are using the cloud.
Let me know when you
do. I’ll use public cloud
for now.
