Various pitfalls of hybrid cloud
In this section, we are going to look at the disadvantages of a hybrid cloud. Throughout the previous sections, we looked at all the business drivers that made sense to operate in a hybrid model. However, it’s imperative to look at the challenges or pitfalls of the hybrid cloud as well. As enterprises plan their implementation of the hybrid cloud architecture, they should factor in the elements discussed in the following subsections.

However, in all those use cases, the nature of the architecture introduces newer challenges when we need to extend the data center to include one or more public clouds.
Here are some of the challenges that practitioners contend with as they embark on a hybrid...
