In the last blog with Deloitte’s Marc Beierschoder, we talked about what the hybrid cloud is, why it can benefit a business and what the key blockers often are in implementation. You can read it here.

We recently Googled the manufacturing use case “predictive maintenance” and was astonished by the results there were 82 MILLION results returned. Next, we Googled “process optimization” and it yielded even more results – 302 MILLION. Clearly, these use cases are top of mind in today’s manufacturing landscape, considering digital transformation will deliver $11 Trillion USD in economic value by 2025.

In support of our partnership with AWS and the AWS DevOps Competency program, we’re re-examining how some of our major customers are using Kong with AWS. To this end, let’s look at our popular case study with TUNE.

The Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) service is a managed data warehouse that runs Cloudera’s powerful engines on a containerized architecture. It is part of the new Cloudera Data Platform, or CDP, which went live on Microsoft Azure earlier this year. The CDW service lets you meet SLAs, onboard new use cases with zero friction, and minimize cost. Today, we are pleased to announce the general availability of CDW on Microsoft Azure.

For many companies, cloud costs are among the top investments these days. With a growing number of services, instances and regions, cloud cost optimization is becoming increasingly painful. Companies use cloud management platforms to optimize costs and increase cloud visibility and security. But staying on top of AWS budgets requires proficiency, agility and time—especially when any glitch can result in massive cost bleeds.

Cloud for analytics may be the biggest bait and switch in recent history. Until now. Not long ago, cloud was billed as the promised land – a mystical paradise of flexibility, scalability, performance and, best of all, lower costs than we ever thought possible.
