Is DIY really an option for Cloud Networking? Find out.

On the Ground Reality: What it takes to do DIY Cloud Networking

Traditionally, security solutions could be easily deployed after a network was designed and deployed. All that was needed was to secure fixed perimeters and monitor the predictable traffic and workflows moving between static network servers and known external devices. But new demands have put increasing pressure on this model. The growth of the cloud in the enterprise is changing the landscape. Today, all components of the network and cloud, regardless of how widely distributed, need to function as a single integrated system. The need to connect to cloud services, applications, cloud-native service, and on-prem WAN simultaneously, and most of those elements also need to be seen as a discrete edge to the network. 
Interoperability between dynamic network elements is essential. We must integrate connectivity and network functionality with security. When data moves from one place to another, across and between devices, it needs to be combined with inspection, encryption, and policy enforcement.

But this seems like hard work, and is it even a possibility? There are two sides off the table; CIO and CISO provide an insight into honest boardroom discussions. Join the interactive Q&A as they outline if and how the convergence impacts their respective and the business they want to enable.

How Cloud Networking and Network Security in Multi-cloud affect business impact?

Basic cloud networking allows you to select the services you want to meet demand. However, if the goal is better scalability, improved/maintained security, always-on, business-as-usual availability and, ultimately, true business agility—the question is, why wouldn't you adopt a multi-cloud approach? In this breakout session with Teneo CTO Andy de Clerck and Nirdosh Kumar from Handshake, you will learn how cloud teams can create consistency in their operating model across multi-cloud environments, how to achieve the perfect balance between performance, security and observability and other critical keys to success for implementing autonomous cloud networking at your organization.

Innovation Q&A: Disruption to Infrastructure if Cloud Networking is done right

Join the interactive session with speakers from large Financial software company, AWS, and Prosimo.  This session will cover how the networking needs have evolved as the cloud becomes the center of gravity and how the need for ZTNA is impacting the transition. Take a deep dive into real-world deployment stories and how an infrastructure stack that is well integrated with cloud-native simplifies multi-cloud networking,  security, and observability architecture. The session will start with laying out the challenges, of the journey of cloud-native, followed by a Q&A on what technology can meet these challenges.

Tech Q&A Journey to using Cloud as their enterprise network with ZTNA everywhere

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is a more efficient and controllable way to grant secure remote access to an organization’s applications, data and services. But stitching together external security layers between cloud applications and users increases latency and saps bandwidth, leading to poor application experience. Hear from an architect why they believe how cloud networking solutions should extend to include Zero Trust access across its multi-cloud environment while ensuring fast, reliable connectivity to the cloud and between cloud regions and providers.

Beyond ZTNA: Extend Secure Access Between Clouds without Impacting Performance

95 percent of the businesses surveyed in an early 2022 “blind” survey (paid for by a major cloud provider) cited multi-cloud as key to their future success. Beyond the general cloud capacity required to support a post-pandemic business world, decisions are being made to bring on additional clouds for specific purposes, i.e., the expanded use of AI and analytics, edge computing, and providing their key innovator with the tools they need to become an industry disruptor or to avoid being disrupted.

With the massive number of enterprises moving to multi-cloud-based deployments, it’s critical to understand their successes with this meta-architecture as well as their failures. Tools such as network abstraction, data automation, and the virtualization of architectural complexity are the top technologies to deploy to make multi-cloud successful. These tools are not widely understood today but are nonetheless critical if enterprises want to get the most value out of multi-cloud, and at the same time, remove risk and cost. In this presentation, we’ll review aspects of multi-cloud that you probably won’t hear about in the press, from the large consulting organizations, or even from enterprises that now deal with multi-cloud deployments. In other words, this is the “insider’s” view of multi-cloud. We’ll look at what works. Equally important, we’ll look at what doesn’t work. If multi-cloud is in your future, and for 95 percent of us that seems to be the case, this is a must-attend event.

The Current State of Multi-cloud Deployments…What Works, What Doesn’t

As enterprises continue to expand their cloud investments, the requirement to interconnect users and apps across multiple regions and clouds results in substantial operational overhead. This technical overview will walk through five common mistakes enterprises make when setting up cloud networking for user-to-app and 'app-to-app traffic patterns. Such errors increase the complexity of managing networks that connect to and within clouds by introducing risk from overlapping CIDRs, multiple tunnels, IP-based policies, and route table scale issues. 

Join this session and learn how to ensure that the cloud transit you build does not end merely with providing connectivity across clouds and regions. Create a cloud transit that also focuses on performance, security, and cost management.

This session will cover these common mistakes:
Mistake 1: Carrying legacy networking appliances in the cloud
Mistake 2: Applying routing and tunneling for everything
Mistake 3: Ignoring cloud-native constructs
Mistake 4: Treating all applications the same 
Mistake 5: Leaving observability as an afterthought

5 Mistakes to Avoid when Setting up Multi-Cloud Networking

The more applications you migrate to the cloud, the more your traffic patterns change. To succeed in the cloud at scale, in other words, you need to do more than add applications — you need to transform your enterprise network. It is the fundamental substrate that enables connectivity to and between clouds and forms the foundation of any successful cloud or multi-cloud project.  AWS has identified five simple use cases to transform your network lay the foundations of successful Cloud Networking. This approach uses the AWS network backbone, edge locations, and cloud-native services to connect data centers, branches, and users directly to applications in the cloud.
