A Hitchhikers Guide to Building a Software Defined Datacenter (SDDC)

by Vamsi Chemitiganti

Softwaredefined data center (SDDC) is the next evolution of data center infrastructure. In the SDDC model, APIs govern access to and usage of infrastructure elements such as compute, network, storage. The goal is to provide business applications with a high degree of agility & at a low cost. When combined with DevOps, infrastructure automation tools and lean cloud management, the SDDC can become a powerful business differentiator. 

Topics covered in this series include:

  • An Introduction to and why SDI
  • Why Digital platforms need an SDDC
  • Deep dive on the major tech elements needed to build an SDDC – Docker, Kubernetes, Cloud Management
  • Culture and Implementation
  • The role of SDN
  • Serverless
  • Rounding it all together
