AWS Cloud Adoption & Migration Frameworks

Cloud adoption is more than just technology…

Why? Cloud Strategy

Business strategy

Enabler of the Business DevOps

What are others doing?

How?

Industry

Cost Control

Reporting Operational Effectiveness

Talent Optimization

IT as Utility

Application TransformationSecurity

Compliance and Governance

Measure Continuous Deployment

On Demand

Fail early & Iterate

When? Cloud Adoption Roadmap

Cloud adoption is a journey

It requires planning and an adoption roadmap.

Cloud adoption strategy should be aligned closely with

business goals and objectives.

It can be disruptive and will drive significant change.

Most start small, learn, iterate, and accelerate.

Value can be achieved quickly.

Adoption Roadmap

Align on business requirements; bring all stakeholders with you.

Create your vision; incentivize team members to follow your lead.

Define architectures, patterns, governance; measure, monitor, iterate.

Publish guidance and guard rails for how to adopt cloud successfully.

Provide centralized expertise; guide decentralized innovations.

Define new operating models, policies, processes, economics; provide training.

Start small and iterate, measure, manage, and update plan.

Large migration planning and execution considerations

Data center lease ending Major capital depreciated Strategic decision to go all in AWS

Drivers

Business needs are a major factor in defining migration timelines: Short (< 3 months) Mid range (3 – 12 months) Longer term (1 – 3 years)

Timelines

Migrate dev first, then production Live migrate production, then backfill dev

Workload migration approaches

Hundreds to thousands of servers Aggressive migration timeline Large number of participants Combination of the above

What is a large migration?

Application migration challenges

Lack of accurate discovery tools and processes Lack of application contexts / information Inaccurate on premise costs Lack of detail and scope with respect to operating

model, governance, risk, compliance, security, software licensing, etc.

Increased cost

Longer time to value

Inaction

Challenges

Additional large migration challenges

Efficient coordination and communications across a large team made up of business, application, development, operations, and partner participants

Discovering, transforming, and deploying complex sets of workload components

Demand for automated management of AWS infrastructure and applications Insufficient WAN bandwidth to support ongoing operations + parallel server

and data migrations

Small to medium migration

Area Characteristic

Program & project management Can get by with PMs managing activities with Microsoft Project & spreadsheets

Can successfully leverage email and status calls to collect verbal updates, and report on status

Infrastructure provisioning & workload migration Can get by with manual AWS infrastructure provisioning and workload migration

Team size Small to medium IT team, possibly some business stakeholders

Team skills Combination of IT & business staff that manage and execute the migration; may use contractors/partners to assist

Level of project scope & visibility Smaller IT project or major business initiative in a smaller company

Large migration

Area Characteristic

Program & project management Requires automated workflow and tracking for technical and program-level visibility

Infrastructure provisioning & workload migration Requires automation of AWS infrastructure provisioning and workload migration

Team size 10s to 100s of staff performing coordinated/sequenced activities

Team skills Combination of IT & Business staff that have the context, and AWS and/or Partner staff that have the specific SME skills to drive down risk & optimize every aspect of the migration

Level of project scope & visibility Typically Tier 1 Business initiatives tied to strategic business goals/outcomes

Refactor

This is the “do nothing” option. Legacy costs remain and obsolescence costs typically increase over time

Decommission and archive data as necessary

“Lift and Shift” or “Forklifting.” Automated and scripted migrations are highly effective

Either a replacement through procurement, or/and upgrade

Opportunities to address significant infrastructure upgrades can be realized which positively affects compliance, regulatory and obsolescence drivers

Re-architecting and recoding require investment in new capabilities. Potentially significant business disruption

Workload Migration Playbook phases

Varies by customer but typically ~9 phases and ~40 high-level activities

Workload Migration Playbook variations

Application (infrastructure) migration option choices

Application disposition option choices

A number of factors drive the specific activities required for each individual workload migration
