Overview

Worst Practices ContinuedForgetting StandardsGoing it alone your first time






Legacy Migration First





Legacy Migration First

Why shouldn’t you take a big expansive existing application to prove out the cloud platform?






Critical First





Mission Critical First

Why not take your most important application to the cloud first?Good availabilityGood recovery“who needs backups”?






Amazoning





Amazoning

Take your existing VMs, Move them to Amazon.

Any new VMs, set them up on Amazon largely with your existing processes.

Easy to do!

Now we can say we are Cloud using IaaS mainly!

Whoohoo we went to the cloud!






Amazoning with Puppet





Amazoning with Puppet

Okay get serious, manually doing all of our VMs on Amazon, no one is that stupid...

We’re going to use puppet to eliminate the steps!

Devops + Cloud, if we can get NoSQL or BigData in there we will be at the leading edge of the industry in buzzword compliance!






Islands In The Cloud





Islands In The Cloud

Each application or system was evaluated independently “fast it” and the best solution was picked.

The user is the integration platform… (open one screen, copy and paste from one system to the next)

Authentication is done 1999 style (remember your 20 usernames and passwords)






The Big Bang Theory





The Big Bang Theory

If the cloud is so great and it is the inevitable future of things to come, why don’t we just start the migrate everything project right here and now!






Forgetting Standards





Forgetting Standards

As with each new stage of development of the technology industry, vendors will overpromise and offer you extensions...their own way of doing things…






Go It Alone





Go It Alone

There are some organizations that deal really well with transitions and are neither paralyzed nor do they step in it.

Some of us forge ahead and go first either as a warning for others or because we want to be the one to lead after learning from our mistakes...






Thank You!
