In this video episode of Conversations with Dez, Keith Nielsen, the technical evangelist for CloudSphere. Keith speaks with Dez Blanchfield to discuss the latest key topics around cloud world. We talked about AWS Cloud Migrations for Enterprise and the significance of CloudSphere achieving both AWS Migration and Modernisation Competency and AWS Cloud Management Tools competency in the cloud governance category.
Keith’s Role as Technical Evangelist for CloudSphere
Keith’s role as the technical evangelist for CloudSphere involves leading competitive analysis, supporting product marketing, building out collateral, assisting the sales team, and enabling partners. He also leads the relationships with cloud providers and system integrated partners, making his role diverse and impactful across different areas of the business.
Achieving AWS Migration and Modernisation Competency
CloudSphere’s achievement of both AWS migration and modernisation competency is a significant milestone. It demonstrates that the product and the company have gone through a rigorous due diligence process and adhere to AWS standards for supporting migration to AWS and related use cases. This achievement provides confidence and credibility in CloudSphere’s technology as a suitable fit for migration needs.
CloudSphere’s Unique Approach to Discovery and Planning for AWS Migrations
CloudSphere’s approach to discovery and planning for AWS migrations is rooted in proper cyber asset management. The company offers a unique top-down discovery process that provides comprehensive insight into a customer’s estate, allowing for qualitative insights and context for workload placement. The agentless solution gathers hundreds of different data points quickly and scalable, offering continuous visibility and minimising inefficiencies in the migration process.
Key Takeaways for Boardroom Consideration
In light of our discussion, Keith emphasised the importance of visibility in quantifying cyber assets, both in existing environments and in cloud environments. Having the right capabilities and tools to provide visibility for the cloud is crucial for cost management, tagging, and cyber asset management. Senior executives need to ensure they have full visibility across all their assets, particularly cyber assets in the cloud, to mitigate potential risks.
