What we learned from Supercloud 22

TheCUBE: Breaking Analysis + upcoming episodes [What we learned from Supercloud 22]( Last week theCUBE gathered the IT community to discuss the new computing architecture dubbed "supercloud." In [this week’s]( Breaking Analysis, our analyst Dave Vellante reveals what he learned from [Supercloud 22]( including the five essential properties of a supercloud and three real-world deployment models. Snowflake Inc.’s Data Cloud is an example of a nascent supercloud, and Vellante poses key questions to test its “supercloud-ness” against the model that emerged from the [Supercloud 22]( event. Citing Snowflake co-founder Benoit Dageville and other expert speakers at [Supercloud 22]( Vellante examines Data Cloud’s architecture, security model, how it deals with latency across a global network, whether it has a "super PaaS" to enable a common developer experience, and other essential elements indicating supercloud status. More than one path to supercloud status Databricks Inc. is taking a different direction. Instead of a proprietary path, the company is supporting the development of the open-source Delta Lake standard. Comparing the approaches, Vellante introduces ETR spending data, of particular note given Snowflake and Databricks’ respective endeavors on Wall Street, and discusses Snowflake’s support for the open-sourced Apache Iceberg. “The similarities may be greater than the differences,” he concludes, quoting Ralph Nader.

But tech providers and customers have been hacking away at the problem and are beginning to build applications that combine resources from multiple public and private cloud platforms in a way that is nearly invisible to the user.]( - [This extension of multicloud computing goes by various names. Our researchers adopted the term “supercloud,” a term coined by Cornell University researchers in 2017. Others have referred to them as “metaclouds,” “cross-clouds” and even “cloud of clouds.” The nomenclature matters less than the expected payoffs.]( - [The need to bridge cross-cloud incompatibilities has been driven by several factors. One is the rise of edge computing. Each of the big cloud providers has its own edge strategy, but enterprises with far-flung networks don’t want to be tied to a single provider.]( [Meet the next-gen innovators of cybersecurity]( Tune in to theCUBE on September 7, when top cybersecurity startups take the spotlight during the AWS Startup Showcase Season 2 Episode 4 event: “[Cybersecurity: Detect and Protect Against Threats]( New episode coming!
