Cloud-native architectures, fueled by large-scale workloads including big data and machine learning, are creating growing challenges for IT in the configuration and optimization of supporting infrastructure. At Hyperpilot, we witnessed these challenges in every public and private cloud customer we engaged.

Another hurdle to decision making is when technology leaders feel that the skills needed to deliver big changes don’t exist within the organization like the lack of DDD, architecture, or cloud skills. Choosing where to focus is a balancing act: delivering new products, fixing legacy software, and improving engineering culture.

Changing hard controls, such as reward schemes and changing the organization architecture, are not always available for managers as tools to achieve enterprise change. Part of this playing field is that they are both managing people while at the same time being managed themselves.

A great example of this is the overuse of micro-service architecture. I myself fell into this exact trap when I created a micro-service architecture.
