Let’s build a SharePoint 2016 Hybrid farm following best practices on Azure in real time. During the build process we will discuss how the new features in 2016 affect the farm architecture and what new features need to be configured. We will also configure the farm to enable a hybrid farm with Office365. Following the session, the attendees will receive all scripts used during the demos.
Attendee Takeaways:
1. Tips and shortcuts to how to build a SharePoint 2016 farm.
2. Learn about many of the new SharePoint 2016 features.
3. Learn how to enable hybrid scenarios between On-premise SharePoint 2016 and Office 365.

Questions
4. What is a hybrid cloud?
Hybrid cloud is a cloud computing environment which uses a mix of on-premises, private cloud and third-party, public
cloud services with orchestration between the two platforms. By allowing workloads to move between private and public
clouds as computing needs and costs change, hybrid cloud gives businesses greater flexibility and more data deployment
options.
5. Why a hybrid cloud?
Great so why should we care?
Hybrid cloud adoption grew significantly.
Private cloud adoption increased from 63 percent to 77 percent, driving hybrid cloud adoption up from 58 percent to 71 percent
year-over-year.
Cloud users leverage 6 clouds on average.
More enterprise workloads shift to cloud, especially private cloud.
17 percent of enterprises now have more than 1,000 VMs in public cloud, up from 13 percent in 2015.
Private cloud showed even stronger growth with 31 percent of enterprises running more than 1,000 VMs, up from 22 percent in
2015.
Enterprises increase alignment on role of central IT teams in cloud use.
Enterprise business units increasingly acknowledge the role of central IT to set policies (up from 31 percent to 44 percent year-
over-year), select public clouds (up from 34 percent to 42 percent), and select private cloud technologies (up from 35 percent to 44
percent).
With greater alignment comes progress on cloud governance, as 38 percent of respondents have now established approval
policies for cloud, up from 30 percent in 2015.
Security is no longer the top cloud challenge.
Lack of resources/expertise is now the #1 cloud challenge (cited by 32 percent), supplanting security (cited by 29 percent).
Even the most security conscious respondents — enterprise central IT teams and security pros - no longer see security as the #1
challenge.

6. Why a hybrid cloud?
Cloud cost challenges increase, but optimization efforts lag.
26 percent of respondents identify cloud cost management as a significant challenge, a steady increase each year from 18 percent in
2013.
Cloud cost management provides a significant opportunity for savings, since few companies are taking critical actions to optimize
cloud costs, such as shutting down unused workloads or selecting lower-cost clouds or regions.
DevOps grows and Docker spreads like wildfire, especially in the enterprise.
Overall DevOps adoption rises from 66 to 74 percent, with enterprises reaching 81 percent.
Overall Docker adoption more than doubles to 27 percent vs. 13 percent in 2015; and another 35 percent have plans to use Docker.
An even higher percentage of enterprises use Docker (29 percent) and plan to use it (38 percent).
Use of Puppet and Chef also grow with each now used by 32 percent of respondents. Ansible makes strong gains, used by 20 percent
of respondents vs. 10 percent in 2015.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues to lead in public cloud adoption, but Azure (Iaas & PaaS) gain ground.
Overall, AWS is used by 57 percent of respondents, flat from last year. Enterprise adoption of AWS grew from 50 percent to 56
percent while adoption by smaller businesses fell slightly from 61 percent to 58 percent.
Azure IaaS grows strongly from 12 percent to 17 percent adoption, while Azure PaaS grows from 9 percent to 13 percent.
Combined, 20 percent of respondents use Azure (IaaS, PaaS, or both) as compared to 57 percent for AWS.
Private cloud adoption grows across all providers.

7. Why a hybrid cloud?
Significant growth in hybrid cloud adoption.
From 2015 to 2016, 77 percent of respondents are now adopting private cloud up from 63 percent last year.
As a result, use of hybrid cloud environments has grown to 71 percent.

8. Why a hybrid cloud?
As cloud maturity has increased, the role of cloud architect has emerged. Among respondents with an architect role, 40
percent identify themselves as cloud architects.

9. Why a hybrid cloud?
Cloud users gain speed benefits.
In 2016, more cloud users reported speed benefits from cloud. The two benefits that had the largest increase were faster
access to infrastructure, which grew from 57 to 62 percent, and faster time-to market, which grew from 48 to 52 percent.
