We’re at an interesting crossroads. Technology is becoming more distributed, and yet the teams managing it are having to become more integrated. For successful companies, this is creating a different way to think about “platform” services.
LOCATIONS, INFRASTRUCTURE AND APPLICATIONS ARE BECOMING MORE DISTRIBUTED
Data Center to Cloud. Zero-Trust Networks. Users (internal and external) are everywhere. Application Services are managed, or reached via an API.
WHAT DOES THE LAYER ABOVE INFRASTRUCTURE LOOK LIKE NOW?
We know that infrastructure is now “Cloud” and often managed by someone else, but what do we call the stuff about it? Some of it is Applications, some of it is Application-Services, and then there is a bunch of stuff that crosses boundaries between networking, security, API governance, application acceleration, etc..
