Pursuing a hybrid cloud platform and building hybrid cloud applications combines the computing benefits of the private cloud along with the flexibility of the public cloud. The benefits that the hybrid cloud application can derive from the hybrid cloud platform depends on the amount of time and effort put into designing, developing, deploying, and monitoring the environment.
This chapter discussed the various best practices that must be followed to derive maximum benefit from the hybrid cloud platform. In the next chapter, we will look at the security aspects of the hybrid cloud.Â
