One of the signals to emerge from this month’s three-week re:Invent conference is that while cloud has redefined the enterprise, the enterprise is also redefining cloud.
This subtle dynamic can be seen in statements from key Amazon Web Services Inc. executives who are indicating a stronger interest in meeting the operational needs of enterprise customers.
“It’s interesting to see the maturity of messaging from AWS to recognize where enterprises are in their journey,” said Steve Mullaney (pictured), president and chief executive officer of Aviatrix Systems Inc. “It’s not just about wiring it and building it up; you’ve got to operate it. AWS’ marketing slogan within the next year is going to change. They are not going to say ‘go build’ anymore. What they are going to say is ‘go consume.’”
Mullaney spoke with John Furrier, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio, during AWS re:Invent. They discussed how enterprise need for observability will impact future cloud services and growing interest in a common centralized architecture. (* Disclosure below.)
New monitoring tools
Recent announcements from AWS have reflected an interest in providing tools more focused on observability and monitoring for cloud native applications. News from this week’s conference events revealed that AWS would offer a new console within AWS Systems Manager for monitoring workloads. On the same day, Grafana Labs announced a partnership with AWS to run its dashboards for visualizing logs and metrics natively as a managed service.
“The enterprise is a different beast,” Mullaney said. “The cloud providers say: ‘I deliver a service, and I deliver it to everybody, and it’s the same service, and you don’t need to know.’ That does not fly with the enterprise. I’ve got to have that visibility and control.”
In the pursuit of visibility and control, enterprises are not going to cease leveraging services and basic infrastructure from cloud providers, according to Mullaney. However, enterprises are also expressing a desire for one architecture to power a common global network, and that is where AWS and its competitors will need to meet a growing need.
“Enterprises are architecting on top of cloud, and they’re doing it in a multicloud world. All of our customers are doing this,” Mullaney said. “They want one architecture abstracted away above the clouds. That’s what enterprises want to do, and the individual clouds are going to have to understand they are each a piece of the puzzle; they are not the puzzle.”
