What is the point of hybrid cloud – or, is it time to re-evaluate hybrid?

Source:- cloudcomputing-news.net Opinion There used to be a buzz around hybrid cloud. The idea was simple, host your mission critical applications in-house where they were more secure and manageable and then burst into the cloud for additional capacity. Sounds great; but in reality, it didn’t really work. Many organisations tried and while some succeeded most failed. Why? The primary issue was network latency between stacks but there was also a huge degree of complexity in orchestrating different technology platforms successfully.

SQL Server Database Continuous Integration (CI) Best Practices And How To Implement Them – Testing, Processing And Automation

Source:- glassgraden.com Test databases should be processed with unit tests In many shops code is unit tested at the point of commit. For databases, I prefer running all unit tests at once and in sequence against a QA database, vs development, as part of a Test step, in my continuous integration workflow pipeline. Yes, issues would be caught later than at check-in, but continuous integration largely solves this with frequent iterations, including at a commit itself. So the difference between
