How are you handling infra/services/networking delivery with 100 silos/teams?

2 pointsby BaconPacketsover 2 years ago
Hey good folks!<p>My $job recently made some large scale cloud commitments - the usual big main clouds (3 of them, just because one wasn&#x27;t enough!), big contracts and plenty of buzzwords.<p>Working within the cloud practice for about a month, we are faced with plenty of cloud&#x2F;staffing&#x2F;knowledge&#x2F;flexibility&#x2F;technical issues. Both due to our scale and the hard questions that such a large technical undertaking is forcing us to face.<p>I&#x27;m curious to hear about other folks how they are approaching infra delivery at scale?<p>- Do you deliver &quot;empty&quot; projects in the cloud providers and let the service team figure out the rest? Do you run this as a professional service and assist teams to design &#x2F; deliver their services. - Do you have a happy&#x2F;default path where everything runs in EKS&#x2F;GKE&#x2F;Openshift? What if a service team wants a FAT VM running Windows 2000 because some obscure business requirement? - How do you manage the vast technical domain of 500+ different services across cloud providers? - Do you enable all of the APIs of the cloud providers? Or do you restrict and have &quot;safe&#x2F;default&quot; enabled? - Do you have a cloud placement matrix for the cloud providers? - How do you manage costs when you don&#x27;t deliver the underlying services? - How do you deal with teams that are just starting their cloud journey &#x2F; early maturity level? - How do you treat day 2 operations? Managed services &#x2F; SRE? Push the ownership to the service teams? - Do you have a community of practice for the cloud? How is that effort structured?<p>I&#x27;ve had some interesting discussions with a couple of friends, but curious to expand my perspective.
