Gartner defines strategic cloud platform services (SCPS) as standardized, automated, public cloud offerings integrating infrastructure services (for example, computing, network and storage), platform services (for example, application, data and value-added services such as AI/ML) and transformation services (resources to help customers adopt cloud-oriented IT delivery models). Although owned by the service provider, infrastructure and platform services may be hosted in providers’ infrastructures or customers’ data centers. Services should be elastically scalable, metered by use and consumable via web-based interfaces and programmable APIs. Transformation programs may be delivered by automated, self-service interfaces, and managed interactions facilitated by account teams/partners.

Strategic Cloud Platform Services

Integrated systems combine server, shared storage and network devices, along with management software and support in a preintegrated stack.
The integrated system market has four segments: integrated infrastructure system, integrated reference architecture, integrated stack system and hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) segment. The overall HCI segment is further subdivided into Hyperconverged Integrated Systems (HCIS), which provides both software and hardware in an appliance model and the software only segment in which vendors provide the Hyperconverged software. This is then integrated with HW by a reseller or the end customer.

Sr. SDE - Platform Engineering

I have been using Oracle Cloud since few years. It provides cost-effectiveness and flexibility in terms of computing resource sizing. While setting up the base infrastructure, it requires skill and solid core concept knowledge of Networking, Identity and Access Management (IAM). VMs sizing flexibility feature gives tough competition to other cloud providers in OKE and VMs. A shell script is needed for Taint and customised boot disk sizing of the node during the OKE node pool setup. From a DevOps perspective, it was challenging overall, improved competence and clarified the concept in cloud context.
