Continuous Learning
The initial learning curve for cloud adoption is steep, and the pace of innovation
means a constant flow of new tools, capabilities, features and benefits. Staff
across all three areas will need to stay up-to-date with new platform enhance-
ments and determine if periodic updates are necessary for application architec-
tures or organizational standards, in order to take advantage of the new capabil-
ities provided by the public cloud platforms.
Whether you are supporting your organization’s cloud adoption initiative as
architect, operations or developer, it is up to you to stay current on the rapid flow
of announcements that come from the cloud platforms, and apply them to your
organization to increase productivity and the adoption of public cloud resources.
The market is changing daily, requiring a focused commitment and an invest-
ment of time in learning new design paradigms, applying them to your organiza-
tion and constantly improving the operational models behind your deployed
systems.
