In this episode, Jez and Dave are joined by Bethann Cregg, Head of Software at Cloudreach, to discuss how Cloud Management Platforms (CMPs) can help enterprises migrate and operate optimally in the cloud.
They cover how platforms can provide the data to help with complex decision making, how cross-cloud support is becoming a must-have, and how we will soon reach the stage where such platforms can automagically optimize your cloud environment.
They also discuss how ‘automagically’ is a really great word.
