Google Cloud Training in Madurai

The most successful Cloud COE teams are:

•  Multidisciplinary: Members of the team reflect the diverse perspectives of the stakeholders in the project.
•  Empowered: The Cloud COE should have decision-making power without need for higher-level sign-off.
•  Visionary: The Cloud COE should consider a multi-project viewpoint to understand repeatability and long-term benefits or goals for the organization.
•  Agile: The Cloud COE should understand the necessary requirements to be able to deliver shortterm wins such as short development cycles and an iterative approach to building products.
•  Technical: The Cloud COE should include experienced individuals with a history of architecting and building past solutions within the organization.
•  Engaged: The individuals within the Cloud COE should be dedicated, able to commit full-time to the endeavor and the process.
•  Cloud-centric: The Cloud COE should include members who will specialize in the cloud and cloudspecific functions.
•  Integrated: The individuals within the Cloud COE should be sourced from existing areas of the business to allow for easy integration into existing teams and organizational constructs.
•  Hands-on: Within a Cloud COE, there should be individuals who are able to do the hands-on work needed to build and test cloud solutions.
• Small: The Cloud COE should start as small as possible, ideally 10 team members or fewer, while still incorporating the knowledge and expertise to accomplish the other characteristics.
• Both the cloud maturity level of the organization and its business strategy determine the focus of the Cloud COE. Some Cloud COEs focus on best practices; others focus on standardization, improvements, or innovation. In terms of cloud maturity level, a focus on driving transformational cloud maturity for an organization would mean:
• Inspiring engineers to work on cloud technologies, including training and enablement
• Leveraging agile techniques and a fail-fast approach to research services that fit the model appropriate to the organization and existing data center platforms
• Collecting the data that will determine the patterns of future success Which focus to adopt depends on the most pressing needs and goals of the organization. Those needs and goals are defined by the executive team, and the Cloud COE streamlines its services based on them. The Cloud COE is designed to meet the needs of individual organizations. No two Cloud Centers of Excellence will look quite the same.

The evolution of the Cloud COE

• Individual Cloud COEs differ across organizations, and they also differ across time.
• The organizational knowledge and capabilities that the Cloud COE reflects will evolve over time, as will the cloud maturity level of the organization.
• The Cloud COE must evolve with it. As the Cloud COE evolves, it will increasingly be populated with engineers who have experience and a deep understanding of how critical functions currently operate.
• They will know how to translate existing data center–based platforms into cloud-based platforms, and how to host greenfield applications on the cloud platform using cloud-native services.
• A high-level view of the evolution and alignment of a Cloud COE captures the activities and outcomes in terms of timeframe:

The Cloud COE and measurement

• A successful cloud migration is determined by how well an organization adopts the cloud relative to their desired goals.
• The Cloud Adoption Framework anchors the concept of cloud maturity in four themes (Learn, Lead, Scale, Secure) and the corresponding workstreams (or epics) required to determine successful cloud adoption.
• To define their goals for cloud adoption, the executive team should agree both on the current cloud maturity level for the organization and on which level they’d like to take it to. With cloud maturity goals defined, success metrics can then be developed.
• These metrics should align both to the larger business strategy and to the cloud maturity goals, defining desired outcomes in terms of tangible, measurable results. The role of the Cloud COE is to drive progress towards these tangible and measurable results.
• Tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) allows the executive team and Cloud COE members to align communications, training, and practices to help employees internalize the change and incorporate the cloud into their work. Measuring and analyzing the right KPIs is critical for understanding the value delivered by the cloud both to individuals and to the organization.
• This, in turn, allows for more rapid cloud maturity, as measurable success drives user buy-in and senior sponsorship, as well as identifying key areas for focus and improvement.
