Join this live session with Magnus Mårtensson ft. Massimo Crippa for the next episode of The Cloud Show with Magnus Mårtensson on February 28, at 01:05 PM (EST).
The show is about cloud leadership and all the important questions relating to cloud projects. Certainly, many matters when a company is going to and wants to be successful in the cloud, are about technology. However, there are many additional matters, adjacent to technology, that we also need to tend to regarding business strategy, human resources, organizational change, planning for a technical cloud approach, and many more questions. These conversations are critical for a healthy cloud and for a swift and accurate cloud approach.

1:39
general API management the way we govern
1:39
general API management the way we govern API the way we package API the way we
1:41
API the way we package API the way we
1:42
API the way we package API the way we expose it to our to the outside world

1:51
we need to apparently govern our apis why are we governing our apis the thing
1:53
why are we governing our apis the thing

why are we governing our apis the thing is we should ask ourself what do we want
1:56
is we should ask ourself what do we want
1:56
is we should ask ourself what do we want to do with our API so which kind of De
1:59
to do with our API so which kind of De
1:59
to do with our API so which kind of De velop ER experience which which kind of

customers we need to keep under control
2:16
customers we need to keep under control governance which means for example the
2:19
governance which means for example the
2:19
governance which means for example the uniformity between apis so we want to if
2:23
uniformity between apis so we want to if
2:23
uniformity between apis so we want to if you are exposing three 4 10 20p we want
2:26

2:35
man right so and um so I was saying we
2:35
man right so and um so I was saying we have to make them consistent we have to
2:37
have to make them consistent we have to
2:37
have to make them consistent we have to make sure that those apis they are
2:40
make sure that those apis they are
2:40
make sure that those apis they are assessed from a security point of view
2:42
assessed from a security point of view
2:42
assessed from a security point of view as well we have to make sure that there
2:44
as well we have to make sure that there
2:44
as well we have to make sure that there is that we can guarantee agility agility
2:46
is that we can guarantee agility agility
2:46
is that we can guarantee agility agility means we keep under control for example
2:50
means we keep under control for example
2:50
means we keep under control for example how we govern the breaking changes how
2:53
how we govern the breaking changes how
2:53
how we govern the breaking changes how do we govern the versioning and then for
2:56
do we govern the versioning and then for
2:56
do we govern the versioning and then for example compliancy we are in Europe
2:58
example compliancy we are in Europe
2:58
example compliancy we are in Europe Belgium the heart of Europe Europe you
3:00
Belgium the heart of Europe Europe you
3:00
Belgium the heart of Europe Europe you know gdpr you might important things
3:03
know gdpr you might important things
3:03
know gdpr you might important things gdpr an example of of compliance that
3:06
gdpr an example of of compliance that
3:06
gdpr an example of of compliance that you might have you have compliancy at
3:08
you might have you have compliancy at
3:08
you might have you have compliancy at Country level you might have also
3:10
Country level you might have also
3:10
Country level you might have also compliance in industry healthare or
3:12
compliance in industry healthare or
3:12
compliance in industry healthare or things like this so keeping all of these
3:14
things like this so keeping all of these
3:14
things like this so keeping all of these different dimensions different angles of
3:17
different dimensions different angles of
3:17
different dimensions different angles of apis in control that's all about of API
3:21
apis in control that's all about of API
3:21
apis in control that's all about of API governance okay that's the role of API
3:23
governance okay that's the role of API
3:23
governance okay that's the role of API governance okay so when you need to
3:27
governance okay so when you need to
3:27
governance okay so when you need to version something in your API and and
3:30
version something in your API and and
3:30
version something in your API and and then you have to like manage how that is
3:33
then you have to like manage how that is
3:33
then you have to like manage how that is rolled out and you have to be able to
3:35
rolled out and you have to be able to
3:35
rolled out and you have to be able to describe it it's a it's a when there is
3:38
describe it it's a it's a when there is
3:38
describe it it's a it's a when there is a governance word into into the in place
3:41
a governance word into into the in place
3:41
a governance word into into the in place it's all about a procedure so having
3:44
it's all about a procedure so having
3:44
it's all about a procedure so having bringing together people a process and
3:48
bringing together people a process and
3:48
bringing together people a process and the technology right so the technology
3:50
the technology right so the technology
3:50
the technology right so the technology is the the tool of the product if you
3:52
is the the tool of the product if you
3:52
is the the tool of the product if you want to model the process and bring
3:55
want to model the process and bring
3:55
want to model the process and bring together for example cross functional
3:58
together for example cross functional
3:58
together for example cross functional people the governance is not only
4:01
people the governance is not only
4:01
people the governance is not only delivering an API it's also about
4:04
delivering an API it's also about
4:04
delivering an API it's also about bringing these business people together
4:07
bringing these business people together
4:07
bringing these business people together in the same place with technical people
4:10
in the same place with technical people
4:10
in the same place with technical people and design from the a all to the
4:13
and design from the a all to the
4:13
and design from the a all to the everything was good and then people yeah
4:15
everything was good and then people yeah
4:15
everything was good and then people yeah people is people is one of the uh of the
4:19
people is people is one of the uh of the
4:19
people is people is one of the uh of the key elements in in the equation we
4:21
key elements in in the equation we
4:21
key elements in in the equation we cannot do anything about people that's
4:22
cannot do anything about people that's
4:22
cannot do anything about people that's true that's true we we love technology
4:24
true that's true we we love technology
4:24
true that's true we we love technology but but we need to support them to be
4:26
but but we need to support them to be
4:26
but but we need to support them to be able to uh to make the right calls
4:28
able to uh to make the right calls
4:28
able to uh to make the right calls exactly yeah yeah yeah all right so how
4:29
exactly yeah yeah yeah all right so how
4:29
exactly yeah yeah yeah all right so how do we break this down like what is the
4:31
do we break this down like what is the
4:31
do we break this down like what is the what are the elements of of governance
4:33
what are the elements of of governance
4:33
what are the elements of of governance that you want to yeah so uh for sure one
4:36
that you want to yeah so uh for sure one
4:36
that you want to yeah so uh for sure one very important things is discoverability
4:38
very important things is discoverability
4:38
very important things is discoverability right you cannot govern something or you
4:40
right you cannot govern something or you
4:40
right you cannot govern something or you cannot secure something that you don't
4:42
cannot secure something that you don't
4:42
cannot secure something that you don't know that exist of course you have to
4:44
know that exist of course you have to
4:44
know that exist of course you have to know where it is exactly so Discovery is
4:47
know where it is exactly so Discovery is
4:47
know where it is exactly so Discovery is extremely important in governance so you
4:49
extremely important in governance so you
4:49
extremely important in governance so you create an API catalog for example so you
4:52
create an API catalog for example so you
4:52
create an API catalog for example so you can keep under control every single
4:55
can keep under control every single
4:55
can keep under control every single stage of these assets from the the
4:59
stage of these assets from the the
4:59
stage of these assets from the the beginning design all the way to the
5:02
beginning design all the way to the
5:02
beginning design all the way to the production and also to the the sunset so
5:05
production and also to the the sunset so
5:05
production and also to the the sunset so you when something is not used anymore
5:07
you when something is not used anymore
5:07
you when something is not used anymore you want to retire you make it first in
5:08
you want to retire you make it first in
5:09
you want to retire you make it first in the first stage of Sunset and and all
5:10
the first stage of Sunset and and all
5:10
the first stage of Sunset and and all the way so all the modeling of the life
5:13
the way so all the modeling of the life
5:13
the way so all the modeling of the life cycle that's one thing so okay if you
5:15
cycle that's one thing so okay if you
5:16
cycle that's one thing so okay if you have a catalog you can discover and life
5:18
have a catalog you can discover and life
5:18
have a catalog you can discover and life cycle okay from discoverability to to
5:20
cycle okay from discoverability to to
5:20
cycle okay from discoverability to to all the way to Sunset right got it y
5:22
all the way to Sunset right got it y
5:22
all the way to Sunset right got it y That's one one of the things so the
5:24
That's one one of the things so the
5:24
That's one one of the things so the catalog then the second things is like
5:27
catalog then the second things is like
5:27
catalog then the second things is like once you have a catalog is like we
5:28
once you have a catalog is like we
5:28
once you have a catalog is like we talked before about the process how do
5:31
talked before about the process how do
5:31
talked before about the process how do you model the process and the process
5:33
you model the process and the process
5:33
you model the process and the process always change Company by company so you
5:36
always change Company by company so you
5:36
always change Company by company so you are in pharmaceutical for example you
5:38
are in pharmaceutical for example you
5:38
are in pharmaceutical for example you have some compliancy rules that you want
5:41
have some compliancy rules that you want
5:41
have some compliancy rules that you want to adhere to of course so you can design
5:44
to adhere to of course so you can design
5:44
to adhere to of course so you can design it's very important to design this uh
5:46
it's very important to design this uh
5:46
it's very important to design this uh process you can design it on paper you
5:49
process you can design it on paper you
5:49
process you can design it on paper you can use your tool and today for example
5:51
can use your tool and today for example
5:51
can use your tool and today for example we talk about Azure API center that is
5:53
we talk about Azure API center that is
5:53
we talk about Azure API center that is one tool to model that process got it so
5:56
one tool to model that process got it so
5:56
one tool to model that process got it so the catalog the process and the disc
5:59
the catalog the process and the disc
5:59
the catalog the process and the disc Discovery once you have the catalog so
6:01
Discovery once you have the catalog so
6:01
Discovery once you have the catalog so you know what are your assets once you
6:04
you know what are your assets once you
6:04
you know what are your assets once you have a process the second step and the
6:05
have a process the second step and the
6:05
have a process the second step and the third step is the Discovery simple all
6:08
third step is the Discovery simple all
6:08
third step is the Discovery simple all right okay so when uh somebody needs to
6:12
right okay so when uh somebody needs to
6:12
right okay so when uh somebody needs to uh become better at that because I'm I'm
6:14
uh become better at that because I'm I'm
6:14
uh become better at that because I'm I'm assuming that many just kind of publish
6:17
assuming that many just kind of publish
6:17
assuming that many just kind of publish their API and and then that basically
6:19
their API and and then that basically
6:19
their API and and then that basically that's it like it's just out there right
6:21
that's it like it's just out there right
6:21
that's it like it's just out there right yes um that that it boils down to the
6:24
yes um that that it boils down to the
6:24
yes um that that it boils down to the what is called API strategy first so if
6:27
what is called API strategy first so if
6:27
what is called API strategy first so if you look at API strategy you have or
6:29
you look at API strategy you have or
6:29
you look at API strategy you have or business model if you want four apis you
6:31
business model if you want four apis you
6:31
business model if you want four apis you have different approach the most used in
6:33
have different approach the most used in
6:33
have different approach the most used in the developer Community is the code
6:35
the developer Community is the code
