In the world of cloud computing, clouds are defined by their architecture and infrastructure. Architecture in this context just refers to all of the components that make up the cloud and account for its operation. Hybrid clouds combine on-premises data centers with a public cloud solution. This enables data to be shared across both channels. It can also include multi-cloud setups and configurations. There are regulations and compliance standards involved with any hybrid cloud solution. They are a popular choice due to their flexibility, scalability, ease of use, and ability to automate/better manage resources throughout the organization.
Migration
Security issues can pop up during cloud migration procedures. Automation during the migration process lets you discover any issues along the public and private cloud portion of your hybrid solution. When automation does discover an issue, it can automatically protect or guard against it. This creates a more flexible environment for expanding your migration and getting all of the necessary data onto your servers. It also has the benefit of adding some visibility and control over the security within your cloud. Think of it like having really good home insurance. It automatically protects you in the event of an issue and all you have to do is set it up in the first place.
