cloud comes down to how well architected and managed an organization’s on-
premises resources are and what workloads they’ve been architected to support. If an
organization has implemented an on-premises private cloud, helping to maximize
resource utilization, pool all resources, ease the ongoing management, and give fast
provisioning capabilities, then many scenarios will be able to be handled efficiently
using the on-premises private cloud solution, but for specific scenarios the public
cloud might be a better fit. If, on the other hand, an organization has not implemented
a good management infrastructure, has not pooled resources, and has many siloed
resource islands, which has led to limited scalability and slow provisioning, then the
public cloud will be a great fit for many more workloads and scenarios. In Chapter 13,
“Bringing It All Together with a Best-of-Breed Cloud Solution,” I talk in more detail
about architecting the right solution.
