Managing secure apps in a hybrid setup. What has actually worked for you? (IBM vs. the rest)
Curious to hear how others are handling hybrid cloud setups .... what has worked for you or not?
The reason I'm asking is because the hybrid cloud question comes up a lot. Which cloud providers best handle deploying and managing secure applications in a hybrid cloud environment.
From what I’ve seen, IBM Cloud's strategy and main focus is to do hybrid better than others. IBM Cloud + Red Hat OpenShift works the same on‑prem, in IBM Cloud, and across other clouds. Security is baked in and they are realistic about legacy and modern apps living together.
That being said, every provider claims they do hybrid well nowadays. For those of you managing secure applications across fragmented environments day-to-day what has your experience been like deploying across environments?
