Adopting product design in the context of product ownership

Product owners are usually expected to balance business objectives, stakeholder interests and user needs. But there is one area that often gets less attention than it deserves in product ownership: it’s the product design. Traditionally seen as the responsibility of designers, in my opinion, product design is increasingly becoming a strategic skill for product owners. Because understanding and adopting product design principles helps us to build better products faster with more confidence that we’re solving the right problems.

Cloud maturity model

The shift to cloud computing isn’t a simple lift-and-shift operation. It’s a transformative journey that requires strategic planning and systematic execution. Cloud maturity models serve as strategic frameworks that guide organizations through this transition by helping them assess their current position and chart a course toward cloud excellence.

Cloudified telecom industry

Everything is transforming everyday, and so is technology. In this blog post, I will share my opinions about cloud transformation in the telecommunications industry. Let’s call it a cloudification.

Sweden notes – August 2024

I have always wanted to start a trip in Scandinavia. This year, I did have a chance to plan it. The starting point should have been Sweden. I don’t know where and when to go next, but I know that this journey will continue.

Architecting hybrid cloud with AWS Direct Connect

Hi, long time no talk. It’s been very busy for me to find enough time to write a blog post. But here I am now. While the sun is starting to warm up here a little bit, I am trying to heat my blog too.

Private network for enterprises: AWS Private 5G

Telecommunications technologies have been transforming for a few decades, and so does infrastructure. With the aim of fifth-generation mobile networks (5G), there are a large number of edge devices that should be connected to the internet. For example, all electric vehicles (EV), Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and massive manufacturing equipment will be integrated with the network itself. Thus, this network is expected to handle a wide range of smart devices seamlessly in order to provide lower latency, higher bandwidth, and higher speed. This is where the need for Private 5G comes in.

The integrations between AWS and on-premise networks

The technology world is evolving, and so is the networking world. But where do we stand as network developers contributing to the field? As already mentioned, this world is changing, but it’s more digitalized due to the cloud. Some say it’s replacing the entire telco networks, which I disagree. The cloud is not targeting to eliminate the current legacy networks. Contrary, it has a crucial role for enterprises and carriers for being connected to other network branches easily and alternatively. So in this post, I will cover more about the future of legacy networks, and their potential integrations with the cloud – also named as hybrid cloud in this case. Also, a real-life use case with AWS Networking products will be discussed.

Cloud-native principles for networks and key network applications

Networks have been always like a backbone for the digital innovations since decades. Now we are in an era that the backbone -aka these networks- keeps evolving non-stop. So the evolution of networking is synonymous with innovation, and is transforming how we communicate, collaborate and conduct business. However as demands for scalability, agility and efficiency continue to rise, traditional networking approaches face limitations. Here the cloud comes in. A paradigm shift that has revolutionized how we design, architect and manage applications.

Spine-leaf network architecture in data centers

Hi all, I am thinking of next-generation data center architectures in these days. Even though it is already a widely-used design in well-known DCs, I decided to cover spine-leaf network design with the comparison of the traditional Tier-3 DC design.
