About CloudComputing-Insider

CloudComputing-Insider

CloudComputing-Insider is the German cloud-computing trade portal, published by the Vogel IT-Medien GmbH within the Vogel Communications Group (Würzburg). "CloudComputing-Insider bietet Unternehmen punktgenaue Informationen über geeignete Produkte, Technologien und Anbieter" (offers companies pinpoint information on suitable products, technologies, and providers): the current news, the whitepapers, the webcasts, the downloads, and the case studies — plus the extensive provider database with the focus on cloud services, software as a service in general, and the available platforms. The newsletters supply the IT pros with the newest, success-relevant information from the IT cloud's broad field.

Overview

The portal serves the IT decision-makers: the CIOs, the IT managers, the architects, the developers — plus the providers' marketers. The digital-native concept — the online portal, the newsletters, the webcasts, the whitepapers — gives the cloud's information: the products, the technologies, the providers. The editorial program covers the cloud's agenda: the platforms (the hyperscalers, the sovereign clouds), the SaaS (the applications), the cloud-native (the containers, the Kubernetes, the DevOps), the security, the sovereignty.

The Insider family — the Vogel IT-Medien's portal series (CloudComputing-Insider, DataCenter-Insider, Storage-Insider, and others) — covers the IT infrastructure: the cloud, the data center, the storage. The provider database — the extensive directory — lists the vendors: the cloud services, the SaaS, the platforms. The Vogel IT-Akademie — the events (the CLOUD NATIVE Conference: the keynotes, the live sessions, the panel discussions) — gathers the community: the experts, the practitioners.

History

CloudComputing-Insider — the Vogel IT-Medien's cloud portal — built its position in the German cloud journalism: the pinpoint product, technology, and provider information. The Stammhaus — Vogel IT-Medien, Augsburg — is the 100% subsidiary of the Vogel Communications Group: the leading German specialist-information provider with some 100 specialist journals and 60 websites plus the numerous international activities, headquartered in Würzburg (Max-Planck-Straße 7/9, 97082 Würzburg, telephone 0931-418-0).

The Insider concept — the digital-native trade portals — modernized the Vogel's B2B: the online-first, the newsletters, the lead generation. The CLOUD NATIVE Conference — the Vogel IT-Akademie's event (the virtual premiere: the cloud-native in two parallel tracks — the container orchestration with Kubernetes, the microservice management and observability, the DevOps and GitOps culture; the keynotes: Erik Vellmete/MLP, Prof. Dr. Alexander Benlian/TU Darmstadt) — extended the portal: the events, the community. The editorial team — the journalists — deserves its telling. Dr. Stefan Riedl — the Leitender Redakteur (executive editor) — writes the software and cloud topics: the Volontariat, the Redakteur, the Leitender Redakteur stations at Vogel IT-Medien — the blockchain technology, the artificial intelligence, the data mining as the special interests. The colleagues — the DataCenter-Insider's Paula Breukel (the Germanistik and applied linguistics studies in Würzburg and Milan; the data-center infrastructures, the site developments, the digital sovereignty), the Storage-Insider's Dr. Jürgen Ehneß (the German literature PhD, the Mittelbayerische Zeitung freelancer, the guitar magazine interlude) — cover the family: the beats, the backgrounds. The disclaimer — the bylined articles' opinions not necessarily the publisher's — marks the independence: the authors' voices — the trade journalism's plurality.

Coverage and Content

The editorial program follows the cloud year's rhythm. The platform coverage — the hyperscalers, the sovereign clouds, the private clouds — treats the infrastructure: the IaaS, the PaaS. The SaaS coverage — the software as a service — serves the applications: the business software, the collaboration. The cloud-native movement — the development's paradigm — deserves its telling. The containers — the Docker, the Kubernetes orchestration — package the applications: the portability, the scale. The microservices — the decomposed architectures — modularize the systems: the agility, the resilience. The observability — the monitoring, the tracing — makes the distributed visible: the insights. The DevOps and GitOps — the culture and the practice — unite the development and the operations: the automation, the collaboration. The CLOUD NATIVE Conference — the Vogel IT-Akademie's event — gathered the movement: the keynotes (Erik Vellmete's MLP practice, Prof. Benlian's TU Darmstadt research), the live sessions, the panels — the technical and the organizational debated. The portal's cloud-native coverage — the technologies, the practices — serves the developers: the modern architectures' journalism. The security coverage — the cloud security — protects: the threats, the defenses.

The cloud market's dynamics — the portal's reporting context — deserve their telling. The cloud's growth — the hyperscalers' expansion, the SaaS's proliferation — transforms the IT: the CapEx to OpEx, the agility, the scale. The sovereignty debate — the digital sovereignty, the data centers as the critical infrastructure — politicizes the cloud: the Gaia-X, the European alternatives, the societal acceptance. The AI's hunger — the GPU clouds, the model training — drives the demand: the infrastructure, the energy. The FinOps — the cloud-cost management — disciplines the spending: the optimization, the transparency. The multi-cloud — the vendor diversification — complicates the architectures: the portability, the governance. The portal's coverage — the platforms, the SaaS, the native — tracks the dynamics: the IT cloud's broad field — the pinpoint information, daily. The case-study coverage — the practice reports (the Vogel Business Media's own 2014/15 cloud migration: the 100+ web portals' infrastructure to the ProfitBricks cloud) — documents the implementations: the lessons. The provider coverage — the database — lists the market: the vendors, the services.
