Google, Cisco pitch hybrid cloud benefits for modern apps

Google and Cisco aim to deliver hybrid cloud benefits to customers with modern apps through a service that dynamically provisions resources in-house and on the public cloud. Once unheard of, deals to bridge public and private cloud resources have become the norm. The latest, an agreement between Google and Cisco, aims to bring hybrid cloud benefits to modern application frameworks. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Cisco this week said they will offer a hybrid cloud service next year that incorporates an amalgam of the two companies' orchestration, management, networking and security tools. This joint engineering effort is the latest acknowledgement that, despite the torrid growth of public cloud, most IT shops aren't ready to ditch their private data centers any time soon.
