25 materials about IaaS and virtual infrastructure: cases, guides and collections for developers
Today we have prepared for you a digest with cases of migration of IT infrastructure of companies to the IaaS cloud, guides on working with virtual machines, as well as useful materials about programming. The selection includes the latest publications from the First blog about corporate IaaS and IT-GRAD blog on Habré, prepared by our experts.

According to a KPMG study , 82% of auto business leaders believe that a car needs its own cloud ecosystem. In this article we will tell you what problems automobile companies (including Russian ones) are solving with the help of virtualization. For example, how cloud infrastructure helps BelkaCar to cope with service scaling, and Jaguar Land Rover - to deal with potholes on the roads.
')
In this article we explain how the cloud helps in agriculture: from monitoring crops to remote sensing of the Earth and geological surveys.
We share cases of Russian and foreign companies: PickPoint, Dostavista, VAPIANO and the Delivery Club and tell you what tasks these services solve with the help of IaaS.
We understand what benefits foreign companies have found in the cloud: we single out 4 reasons for which young corporations choose a virtual environment. Let us dwell on cases Netflix, Uber and Snapchat and look at the forecasts and trends in the industry.
We continue the topic of migration to the cloud: in this material we will discuss 5 cases from Russia. Find out what the cloud is used in RailCommerce, City-call and other companies, and what advantages it has in comparison with the traditional infrastructure. In addition, we will discuss issues of legislation and the implementation of IaaS projects in Russia.
Another post about cloud migration. At this time, we understand the reasons for the transition to on-premise. Consider the cases of companies Dropbox, Instagram, MemSQL, and also explain why some still prefer to rent the cloud infrastructure.
As ZDNet and Gartner point out , the global cloud services market is moving towards XaaS today, so cloud providers are offering an increasing range of services to their customers. In this article, we describe how the Russian cloud is: the development of package services and the trend towards atypical SLA. The review is based on the 2017 Cloud Technology Conference.
We dedicated this article to the case of the Azoft developer company. Read about how Azoft uses virtual infrastructure to host a group of “Thank you from Sberbank” mobile applications.
Disassembling the Faberlic case: as a transition from on-premise to a hybrid infrastructure, we reduced the time required to allocate additional computing power from several weeks to several hours and increased the speed of IT products.
We are talking about how the "wagon exchange" received a certificate of information security using the Cloud FZ-152 service. A detailed look at each of the stages: market analysis, infrastructure preparation, migration and testing.
The City-call company with the help of IaaS has automated its business processes: it has organized backup and quick recovery of virtual machines. This allowed us to pay more attention to our clients and strategic goals. About the features of the City-call business and what other cloud solutions the company uses, read our material.
Since Pulkovo has three data centers, the organization pays special attention to response time to failures and control over technical processes. Therefore, the airport uses IaaS for data backup. We have prepared a material on how the IT-GRAD cloud testing process took place as a backup site.

Here are the tasks that the cloud copes with better than other infrastructures. Each of the tasks we consider the example of specific working cases. We will explain why our data center is not always a good solution, how to combine several remote sites into one, and due to which the cloud saves companies money.
In this article we will focus on the vSphere and vCloud Director technologies, as well as their components. Explain how to create a virtual machine step by step using a template or from scratch so you can easily do it yourself.
The material will be useful to those who have to manage a large number of virtual machines. We understand the intricacies of the VMware DRS workload monitoring tool: what it is, how it works, and what is the benefit of using it. Separately, let's talk about DRS metrics and how to calculate the balance between the hosts in the cluster.
Delve into virtualization technology from VMware. First, let's look at the requirements for a blockchain project, and then tell you how to deploy it to Kubernetes using the Blockchain on vSphere tool.
Why transfer infrastructure to another cloud? This may be necessary if you need to expand the pool of resources or change the service provider. In the article we will analyze the main VMware tools for migration between the clouds: vCloud Connector and vCloud Extender, as well as possible scenarios for their use.
We continue to talk about VMware-tools. This time, let's open the topic of business-critical applications (BCA): what are these applications, what can their “breakdown” turn into and how VMware solutions help to avoid it. Find out why organizations do not want to transfer BCA to the cloud and what to consider when choosing a cloud provider.

We decided to analyze which programming languages are most popular on the platforms GitHub, Stack Overflow, HN and Habrahabr. You will also learn why the salaries of programmers who write in different PLs differ, and for what reason some languages are more popular than others in the evenings. We will also tell you which languages will gain popularity in the next 10 years.
In this material, we will check how true the legends about the "rock stars" of programming are. Let us tell you whether it is possible to develop thinking outside of the box and how important it is to be part of a team, and not “that guy” that nobody knows. We consider questions from a scientific point of view and evaluate the opinions of the developers themselves.
Illiterate management ruins half of IT projects. In this post, we have collected the top 8 "bad advice" for project managers. Planning, micromanagement, training, meetings: does your team need this? We understand how not to do, and draw conclusions.
Does the US Department of Defense use computers of the sixties? So it is, and here we explain why it happened. We will also tell you who still works on a multi-kilogram Excel processor, why data from space is collected by outdated machines, and in what cases people have to use old software without documentation.
For this digest, we picked up publications that are highly valued by programmers from Stack Overflow, Hacker News, Quora, and other specialized platforms. The selection can be useful for newbies and advanced developers who want to work out their Linux-skills, software design skills or learn more about programming languages and general development approaches.
Inside you will find resources that are recommended to follow the residents of Quora, Stack Overflow, Hacker News, Reddit. In addition to materials on user interface design and web development, this includes blogs in which programmers write about life or reflect on the philosophy of the craft. Among the authors of blogs there are university lecturers, authors of popular books, and just people with an interesting sense of humor.
In this collection, we have collected the most readable blogs on the topics mentioned. Among the authors there are those who write for beginners and fill blogs with tutorials, and those who create deep works on quantum mechanics. Especially a lot of materials about Haskell and the practical implementation of mathematical projects.
