Go with the Cloud’s Native Management

Lately I have seen some questions and discussions that I have also been involved around which management services/tools should be used when you are doing multi-cloud. Before diving into that area let’s first dive into the multi-cloud thingy. RightScale has report for year 2019 called STATE OF THE CLOUDREPORT that give us what is the current state of companies in that area. If we look at the report we will see that multi-cloud strategy is rising but if we look in the details the strategy of having multiple public or private clouds is actually starting to decline, slightly but still decline. I think that decline will continue over the next years. For me it makes sense if you have the bigger part of your cloud workloads in a single public cloud and may be some small part into another public cloud. My opinion is that it is better to put your bets into a single public cloud. I do not think there are much of benefits if you do multi-public cloud strategy. As for putting workloads on-premises the hybrid cloud strategy I think will be still valid at least for the next 10 years. With that said never the less there are still companies that have multi-cloud strategy with multiple public clouds. And this brings us back to our topic. You have probably heard similar questions like:

What is OMS and a Brief History of It

While discussing Azure/OMS topics in the community I often see incorrect usage of OMS (Operations Management Suite). That is understandable of course as Microsoft hasn’t done good job at clearing out all the terms but I still think we should be using the correct term when posting questions or discussing OMS in forums and other sites. This can help us communicate better between each other and especially in forums could result to answering question faster. As we the move from OMS Portal to Azure Portal it was about time to write this blog post which I’ve intended to do for quite some time but always delayed due to different circumstances.

Free E-book: Inside #MSOMS v2 now available

It took us some time but we’ve managed to update the one and only free OMS book. We had plans to release it earlier but unforeseen things has happened which prevented us to do it earlier. I hope you will understand but you will still enjoy it. The other authors and me put a lot of effort to get it out along with the reviewers.

The new query language of Log Analytics is not included in the book but that should not discourage you as the content is still relevant.

Go grab Inside the Microsoft Operations Management Suite for free. Let us know if you have any feedback.

I mostly would like to thank my fiancée for being patient with me and supporting me while I was writing my chapters.
