Building Resilient Systems: The Power of Architecture “-ilities” in Cloud-Native and Hybrid Environments
Conference (BEGINNER level)
Room D
In today’s digital landscape, businesses are increasingly adopting cloud-native and hybrid cloud strategies to meet complex and evolving needs. Designing resilient and scalable architectures in these environments is essential to achieving operational excellence. This session delves into the architecture ilities—Scalability, Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Portability, Security and how they impact costs —that serve as the foundation for robust system design. 
We’ll explore how these critical non-functional requirements influence architectural decisions and enable success in both cloud-native and hybrid deployments. Using real-world examples we’ll discuss practical approaches to overcoming common challenges, such as integrating on-premises systems with cloud services, ensuring high availability, and maintaining cost efficiency. 
This session empowers attendees with actionable strategies to design systems that are not only functionally sound but are fault tolerant and adaptable to change, ultimately delivering better value for customers and businesses alike. 
 
Key Takeaways and Benefits: 
  1. Gain a clear understanding of the core architecture focus and their impact on building resilient systems in cloud-native and hybrid cloud environments. 
  2. Learn practical strategies and insights from real-world cloud migration
  3. Enable developers and architects to deliver robust systems that enhance performance, uptime, and user satisfaction.
