In this episode of “Status Go,” Jeff Ton speaks with Ramiro Berrelleza, CEO of Okteto, about the significance of investing in your development team, offering insights on industry trends and actionable advice for technology leaders to enhance productivity and innovation.

Join Jeff Ton and John Gray on this episode of Status Go as they debunk the myth that cloud technology is too expensive for businesses, providing real-life examples of cost optimization and expert recommendations to make cloud technology work while saving money.

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), like its cousin Backup as a Service (BaaS), provides technology to ensure business continuity, a target site and infrastructure, and the management of the process that it takes to ensure its success—all delivered to you as a service. The key for DRaaS is that the target site and infrastructure are in the cloud, rather than in a on-premises datacenter as a traditional DR solution might usually entail. The management is provided by a team of professionals who live and breathe DR and backups, which allows your IT staff to reallocate valuable time to business projects of greater daily importance.

For CIOs and other IT leaders who must demonstrate early cloud wins to help gain wider stakeholder buy-in needed for a full migration, Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) to AWS makes an ideal candidate for demonstrating that the cloud can be a successful driver for the business. It also encourages cloud-hesitant IT members to learn the ropes of the AWS environment in a non-production scenario.

More than half (62%) of recent survey respondents say they have experienced stalled or slower-than-expected cloud migration. Most believe the delay in cloud migration is primarily due to unanticipated skills gaps (41%).

AWS cost optimization is the process of examining and correcting existing conditions within the AWS environment to better fit within a predetermined budget.

Identity Access Management (IAM) has captured a growing share of the overall IT budget in recent months, since business leaders want to verify that administrative capabilities don’t suffer during times of uncertainty and evolving cyber threats.
