What You’ll Learn in This Webinar
Alternative cloud providers occupy more than a third of the cloud infrastructure market. It’s a category often overlooked among the shadow of hyperscalers, yet one that plays a critical role in an increasingly cloud-based world.
This webinar will dive into the results of a recent study by Accelerated Strategies Group on how front-line DevOps staffers around the world define the essential characteristics and features of public cloud providers—from hyperscale mammoths like AWS, Google, and Azure, to alternative providers such as DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, and OVHCloud.
Topics covered will include:
- The cloud provider selection process and essential evaluation characteristics
- Roadblocks to using cloud infrastructure effectively
- Attributes of alternative cloud providers that make them competitive options
- And more
