Cloud Trends: Platform Engineering, Cost Control and Sovereign Clouds – what really works?
Free
Dutch
The cloud has accelerated the development of digital platforms and ecosystems. But now, as an organisation, you are faced with fundamental choices. Cloud costs are rising, especially with AI workloads. Development teams want to deliver faster without additional complexity. At the same time, there is growing pressure to reduce dependence on American tech giants.
In our role as a Tier 1 partner of AWS and Microsoft Azure, and with experience in implementing EU-based private cloud environments through Combell, we at iO regularly see how organisations struggle to strike a balance between innovation, cost control and strategic independence.
How do you keep control of costs, architecture and innovation without slowing down innovation? In this webinar, you will get clear answers and practical tools that you can use right away.

From cloud growth to thoughtful platform choices
In this session, we delve into the most important cloud issues of the moment. Can you continue to scale indefinitely with serverless? How do you set up platform engineering in such a way that it accelerates development teams rather than slowing them down? Who is responsible for what is within the shared responsibility model of cloud providers? And how do you keep costs under control in a world where AI expenditure is becoming increasingly unpredictable?
We will also look at the strategic side of cloud choices: how dependent do you want to be on American hyperscalers, and which sovereign cloud approach from AWS, Azure and Google Cloud suits your organisation's requirements? We combine strategic insight with concrete, directly applicable tips for both budgeting and architecture decisions that pay off now and in the future.
After the webinar, you will know:
How to strategically use the shared responsibility model for clear responsibilities
How to increase your development speed and shorten your time-to-market with self-servicing developers
How AI within platform engineering makes your teams more autonomous and flexible
What concrete ways there are to control cloud costs, even with unpredictable AI spending
The differences between the sovereign cloud approaches of AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
How to assess which cloud strategy fits your compliance and data requirements
