We live in a world where we can instantly make use of infrastructure via cloud providers. Albeit via cloud providers where you can autoscale your infrastructure, or via Software-as-a-Service providers who offer you functionality out of the box. Gone are the days of creating large project plans and business cases.

Areas to apply InnerSource Cloud Infrastructure The landscape of cloud architecture is evolving and growing increasingly intricate. These entities primarily shoulder the responsibility of managing shared infrastructure within cloud environments. Notably, many companies are witnessing the emergence of Cloud Centers of Excellence (CCoE).

If you think rigorously about exactly what access every service and user needs, and implement that carefully, you’ve blocked the most important path through which an attacker can breach your infrastructure. Similarly, Tim Hope said that open source is critical in building an engineering culture and developing systems.

A simply managed solution encompasses more than just code or infrastructure. When designing a solution, the more transparent it is within your organisation, the simpler it is to maintain. As seen over the years , people, transparency, and technological choices are overlooked in favour of what is currently trending or easy.

I was working for a big company that had a strong vibrant engineering culture. Hiring tanks to get the core and infrastructure solid is getting harder to do, driving them away by getting them tangled up in operational issues is self-defeating. We were doing very complex, low-level work. Very cutting-edge at the time.

Using a template also provides the consistency of having the same tools and structure across every project, with the added benefit of promoting good practices from day one, regardless of the nature of the project — for example, the cost of adding a test to a proof-of-concept is much lower if all the infrastructure is already in place.

It took some years to evolve to a software architecture that supported such teams, but eventually small, independent services owned by two-pizza teams made up the core of Amazon’s infrastructure. At the heart this approach to infrastructure are the core strategies of isolation, redundancy, fault detection, and automation. This is lean.
