Igor Agile Stacks
5
Not only using the cloud but
doing it right.
Organize around the use of
DevOps in the cloud.
Automation-driven model for
collaboration across Dev and Ops.
DevOps is a methodology and requires
a training and culture reset.
Agile took 20 years for most organizations
to adopt and execute well.

● Move from Water-Scrum-Fall to Continuous Delivery
● Shift Left: Automate Compliance and Security
● Deliver an integrated software release at the end of every Sprint
● DevOps Toolchain: build automation, CI, testing, CD, IaC
● CI/CD: Jenkins, GitLab, Spinnaker, CodePipeline

Eliminate manual provisioning of networks and ec2 instances, enable agility
through DevOps automation, and provide developers with proper tools and
sufficient flexibility”

‘DevSecOps’: Combating Security Threats At The Source✔
Organizations are now turning to a DevSecOps approach to IT and software
development, moving from a patch-based approach to protection to
integrating security into all aspects of development.

By 2022, more than 75% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in
production – a significant increase from less than 30% today. - Gartner

TOP TAKEAWAYS: Scaling
More services are coming out every day✔
There are lots of different options for scaling✔
When possible, use a Managed Service vs. running your own✔
The architecture path go down will affect your cost✔

TOP TAKEAWAYS: Cost Savings
Keep in mind there is a “migration bubble” but your cost savings will be
significant in the long term.✔
Lift and shift can end up being expensive✔
TCO - very useful for getting an idea of cost on AWS and make decisions✔
Utilize additional cost optimization strategies such as RIs, spot instances,
ASGs with mixed instance types, moving to serverless, etc.
