2. In 20 Minutes
What to consider
Characteristics of cloud computing
Approaches to avoid
What to do instead

Cost (CapEx / OpEx)
Capacity
Elasticity
Security
Availability
Geography
Agility
Cool factor?
4. Cloud Characteristics
“There is no cloud, just other people’s computers”
“Everything fails, all the time” - uptime ownership
Multi-tenant
Less control over naming, addressing
More rapid provisioning of resources
5. Don’t do this
Forklift migrate
Cloud as DR
Manual provisioning/configuration/deployment
Mistake scalability for performance
Assume reliability
8. Design
Design to operate
KISS
Security design from day one
Use the strengths of the cloud platform
Segregate state
Treat instances as disposable
Use LB/failover for HA (across AZ)
Remain portable
