Summary

This chapter explored more cloud opportunities with OpenStack. Leveraging container technology to deploy workloads across multiple cloud environments has been adopted by several organizations that seek the best usage of the cloud paradigm. This chapter highlighted some of the adopted approaches to deploying a hybrid cloud based on containers. The decentralized model can be considered a simple version of the centralized one where cloud operators can deploy workloads in multiple cloud environments. With the centralized model, firing one deployment from one place propagates a workload across multiple environments. The chapter demonstrated a use case of a hybrid model between AWS and OpenStack. Both worlds can meet, and having the capability to move between both cloud platforms is a great cloudy power. Containerization allows companies to deploy, manage, and scale their workloads in more than a cloud environment, as we learned in this chapter. Federation mode has proven to be a...
