When presented with the case, it is hard to deny the allure of moving your nuts and bolts computing to the cloud. Everyone knows the arguments; computing is a utility, not a USP. There's no need to own the burden of supporting a server room. With network edge issues solved, time to market is reduced. Be flexible against peaks and troughs. Just taking the reductions on CAPEX alone can be reason enough - well, for those without a large budget to spend.

Good question. To get started on an answer - but not necessarily the answer - consider this:

Q: Who do you say "Yes, chef!" to in a DevOps team?
A: The lead engineer.

Not a project manager? Absolutely not.

Value based prioritisation should be at the centre of any organisation and form the building blocks of any agile methodology.

CEOs must embrace an agile mindset themselves and empower their people to truly see value.

Everyone has heard about the benefits of cloud and how it can accelerate your business, increase collaboration and boost security but with so many providers out there, who do you choose? There's familiarity with the big three - AWS, Azure and GCP, but this doesn't mean your search should end there; other providers, such as Heroku and OpenShift are out there too. However, your company will have unique requirements, which makes choosing a cloud provider overwhelming.

To help you out, we have compiled five of most important factors to consider when making this choice.

If you keep your finger on the ever-flowing pulse of IT, you can't fail to notice the rise of serverless computing. The name implies that a server is something tiresome like a hot water storage tank in a cupboard and that you're probably better off without it. In fact 'serverless' is known within the community to be a somewhat baseless name - many conference-goers jokingly say it could easily have been called 'Jeff'. In the end, the companies that own the most computing resources want to make using their services easier.
