I am trying to address when companies should orchestrate cloud providers offerings as managed service in their IT portfolio. This article doesn't take a stance of cloud providers. First thing first, size of the enterprise matters. If it is small or medium, it doesn't make lot of sense to form a big division to make managed offerings for cloud. If IT spend is small (< 5Million) or medium (< 100 million), it makes sense to use cloud provider services with some governance and without any orchestration layers. Remember more than 20% of your IT budget might be in Shadow IT. If you are a big enterprise and you are going to play a lot in the technology field based on your customer base, then it makes sense to have your own Center of Excellence with Governance and also with orchestration. Manufacturing, transportation and some services may NOT always need lot of spend on IT. On the other hand Financial services, Retail, Restaurant  and Healthcare might need lot of IT spend due to...

Invest in yourself, you will never be disappointed. I want to share my story of strong morning routine. I have been a morning runner since Sep 2018. Few things got added since the pandemic began in March. Increased my run a little bit more every day. Now I am running 2.5 Miles @ 6.2 MPH. From Sep 2018 to now I completed close to 43 accumulated marathon miles. Here is a screen shot, I lost 12 of my marathons to previous phone change, thats why you only see 31. I added daily routine as shown in picture below after Work From Home started around March. Roughly in a week I complete 300 crunches, 200 pushups and 100 biceps and 15 miles with a fasting day. Continuing reading books, writing articles and learning new topics on cloud, teaching chess to my son. I do few minutes of meditation every morning and play a game of chess/puzzles every evening right after I close my work for the day. Few things I may not be doing right... Hooked up with few Netflix series like "Better Call Saul"...

Once upon a time there was a big forest named Chugach, coyotes used to be the king of the jungle. As the forest is too big , some Bisons came crossing the river and started settling there. Slowly over the years Bisons started killing coyotes and took over the Chugach forest. Bison is the new leader of the forest now. That forest has lot of green pasture and beautiful landscape. This forest has lot of empty land, so the Bison invited animals from other forests  to come and co-live with it. The animals struggling for survival in other forests became interested. Peacocks living in Chandak jungle , bears living in Spruce forest, Dogs living in Lacandon jungle heard about this new forest and started moving one by one. In the early days Bison wants to build eco system and encouraged animals from other forests. Time passed by, Bison felt there are enough animals now, so started saying NO to new animals. The dogs that can't fit the rules started sneaking in. Slowly bisons started feel...

Be like postage stamp, stick to one thing until you get there. Every great thing start like falling dominoes. Find the lead domino. We are bombarded with more information and choices in a day than our ancestors in their life time. It ain't what you don't know thats gets you in trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so. Life is too short to chase unicorns and its too precious to rely on rabbit foot. Things which matter most can not be at the mercy of things matter least. The question is what are we busy about. Achievers do sooner what others plan to do later. on an average we get new thought every 14 seconds and with an average of 4,000 thoughts a day. Multi tasking is also known as monkey mind. we are driving ourselves bananas. A juggler will have one ball in one hand at any given point of time. What he is doing is task switching not multi-tasking. Success is about doing the right thing, not about doing everything right. Michael Phelps has ADHD, if he was ...

Here are some of the quotes from the books I read. Most of the quotes are from the book Range - David Epstein. If I had to single out one element in my life that has made a difference for me, it would be a passion to compete.  Sam Walton  Every human is work in progress claiming to be complete. Test and learn can be better strategy than plan and implement.  I know who I am when I see what I do. Virtually every good thing can be traced back to a misfortune. Hunger is more savage than sword. If you want to be a director of films, take a camera and shoot. - James Cameroon Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection. You need not be engineer, you need to be producer. Producer should know what problems semi conductor can solve, need not be expert on semi conductor engineering.  It's difficult to make a prediction especially about the future. Experts are roughly as accurate as a dart throwing chimpanzee.  Best forecasters are genuinely curious a...
