Nutanix Hybrid Cloud Scholarship

A Quick Explanation of my Visual Challenge piece: Migrating to the Cloud is generally a very big step for any organization. A lot of capital and resources are involved and therefore, it is important to take all steps to avoid failing. My infographic explains a strategy that would help organizations to successfully approach their migration.

It starts with building a plan that involves every member of the organization from the highest leaderships to the development team and create a plan. It is only when everyone is involved, the decisions made will be fruitful. Next is understanding that every application that the organization has does not need to move to cloud. This research needs to be done by the development team to analyze which applications require cloud level scaling and which do not. The team also needs to be properly skilled in the technologies that they will be following. Two important tasks required throughout the migration are digital transformation – meaning, moving small project management excerpts to digital mediums and revisiting every step regularly to keep an eye on the scaling of applications.

Favorite part of the Challenge: I have always been a visual learner. All the text information never really gets into my head. My favorite part of the challenge was the existence of the challenge itself, because I could relate to it on a very personal level. I have made infographics of every lesson and almost every concept. Having said that, there is no challenge in the entire course of this scholarship that can be complete without the awesome community that we have. I cannot really express it in words how glad I am to be part of this group, but the vivid participation from everyone and seeing all the drawings and visuals that everyone made, won my heart! I studied every visual very carefully, because creativity is not something we can learn from books. It’s from all these experiences and other’s thoughts that we learn artistic ways of thinking.
