When the automobile was invented, nobody ever thought of a superhighway. After millions of cars had come off the assembly line, government leaders had to adjust and design highways that could accommodate six lanes and high-speed travel for everything from a motorcycle to an eighteen-wheeler.

The same is true with cloud computing. Years ago, Vivek Kundra started to talk about taking baby steps to the cloud. Well, today we have multi-million-dollar data centers and huge cloud providers that are handing increasingly federal large amounts of data. Federal leaders have reached a point where "going to the cloud" is like driving a Model T. We have much more serious matters to consider.

DataDog is a company that can help federal leaders manage the cloud as part of a digital transformation. They help improve application performance, ensure reliability, and streamline multi-account account management. The net result is a transition to a hybrid cloud that is flexible, fast, and safe.
