Workload placement principles
Sensitive data, low-latency ERP, or expensive per-core licensing often stays on-prem. Burst compute, DR targets, and managed services fit public cloud.
Document data classification before choosing cloud regions and connectivity models.
Connectivity and security
VPN, dedicated links, or private cloud interconnect define hybrid performance. Segment with hub-spoke designs, dual firewalls, and centralized SIEM logging.
Identity federation and conditional access are hybrid foundations — not just a wide VPN.
Backup, DR, and operations
Tier backups: local snapshots, immutable cloud object copies, and cross-environment restore runbooks. Practice FinOps with tagging and monthly idle resource reviews.
Intilogy designs pragmatic hybrid architectures for Indonesian enterprises.
Frequently asked questions
Is hybrid always cheaper?
Not automatically. Without governance, egress and orphaned resources can exceed on-prem costs. Hybrid wins on flexibility and DR — not always lowest TCO.
