Having an understanding what hybrid cloud is and how it facilitates the activities of any organization, now, we need to understand some factors that have to be considered before the deployment of hybrid cloud.

 Selection of best suitable platform for cloud: As discussed, the need of every organization is not same. Before deployment of the hybrid cloud, organizations need to have a plan for the services; it will borrow from the public cloud. If it is going to use only SaaS, then it is not a problem but it is going to use IaaS or PaaS and then it is very important to take the correct decision from the commencement of the service as building a hybrid structure that would not be able to handle additional workload generates severe problem.

 Whether to use unified OS or not: In true hybrid cloud, a unified OS is installed in the middleware that basically governs the overall functionalities. But in some cases, on-premise system may be operated by its own OS then just with the help of internet they can connect to public cloud. The performance of this architecture will be vast different from unified OS. OpenStack, VMWare cloud, Nutanix, and Kubernetes are some example of cloud OS framework. These frameworks are sufficient building the middleware and it provides OS and all supporting application for the smooth execution of all activities in hybrid cloud.

 How to manage different activity: Huge amount of data need to be handled in case of hybrid cloud. A hybrid system should look into smooth accessibility of data, and at the same time, security of data needs to be guaranteed. Anyone cannot host any data onto the public cloud. Proper personnel with adequate experience need to be engaged for the management of dedicated applications.

 How security of data will be guaranteed: Since data is moving in between public and private cloud, it needs to be secured. Through security mechanisms of public cloud, it has developed much from its early date but still it is not 100% secure. There are always threats of data breach. Migration of sensitive need special care as sight alteration in business sensitive data might cause severe problem in the business.

 How to integrate public cloud with existing on-premise system: Amalgamation of public cloud onto an existing on-premise system often needs several alterations in the working of the existing on-premise system. Overall performance of the system should always improve with the addition of the public cloud, and it should not degrade.

 How to manage common backup and disaster recovery: Data need to be backed up to ensure reliability and availability. Backing up of all the data both in private and public cloud need to be done. At the same time, the system should be able to handle catastrophic failure or disaster. How to maintain a common routine for all the operational data to accommodate those situations is key to the success of hybrid cloud deployment.

Building a hybrid cloud is a complex procedure but successful implementation will provide scalability, flexibility, security, and cost saving. More and more organizations approaching toward hybrid cloud for the current benefit and future growth.
