Learn how to accelerate and
de-risk your cloud migration project
Despite the surge in enterprises migrating applications to the public cloud, more than half of all projects are delayed or over budget and an even greater number are more difficult than expected.1
Cloud Migrations don’t begin when you start moving applications into the cloud. They begin with your application landscape discovery and assessment. The second phase comprises the actual migration where applications are moved to the public cloud. Working with purpose-built enterprise-grade cloud migration platforms, especially those that partner to integrate both phases greatly simplifies and accelerates projects.
RISC Networks and Velostrata have teamed up to deliver this webinar where we’ll share real-world examples, tips, and tricks on crafting a seamless cloud migration from start to completion.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network.[1] At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.
Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just "the cloud", also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users. For example, a cloud computer facility that serves European users during European business hours with a specific application (e.g., email) may reallocate the same resources to serve North American users during North America's business hours with a different application (e.g., a web server). This approach should maximize the use of computing power thus reducing environmental damage as well since less power, air conditioning, rackspace, etc. are required for a variety of functions. With cloud computing, multiple users can access a single server to retrieve and update their data without purchasing licenses for different applications.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

3. THE CLOUD ERA
• Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider is credited with the invention of the
Cloud Computing concept in the 1960s devising the 'logical pool'
concept for cloud resources.
• Rapid technological advances in 'Cloud Computing' after Google's
big table innovation saw a rapid succession of innovations around
cloud computing from the Hadoop white paper in 1998 laying the
foundational groundwork for cloud computing as we know it today.
• The last 10 years saw the 'web 2.0' paradigm shift to user
interactivity revolutionize software design, capabilities and the
internet. The era of the Cloud was born.
• Gartner magic quadrant rates AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform
(GCP) and IBM Cloud as the top 4 cloud IaaS cloud providers in
2022 (source).

4. WHY USE THE CLOUD?
• Availability and Flexibility of Use.
• Architectural redesign opportunities.
• Massive range of cloud native services increasing effectiveness
and digital product quality.
• Scalability of cloud fleet.
• Highly resilient cloud products (e.g. Azure VM, AWS RDS Cluster).
• Fraction of the time to deploy resources.
• Native integration with IaC and DevOps practices (e.g. Azure
DevOps, AWS CodeStar).
• Better cost control and monitoring services integrated with Cloud
Vendor platforms (e.g. Azure Monitor, AWS CloudWatch).
• Lower cost of compliance (AWS Config, Azure Blueprint).
• 'CapEx' V 'OpEx' – Cost & Tax efficiency.

LIMITATIONS
Technical Debt.
Security Costs and Maintenance.
High 'CapEx' costs maintaining data center location
and hardware.
Misconfiguration harder to detect and at
times overlooked creating security and operational
vulnerabilities.
Capacity ceiling in throughput.
Highly available architecture often not implemented.
Scalability ceiling.
Harder and more costly to make changes.
6. ON-PREMISE V CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
Availability
Can be lowly available
with no service level
agreement
Above average
performance to highly
available with service
level agreements
Can be solutioned with
the help of managed
products e.g. AWS
DataSync, Azure
HCI/APC
Resiliency
Enhancement very

maintenance and
upgrades
On demand paradigm
has resiliency set into
core products e.g. Azure
VM has rack separation
across 3 standard VM
copies by default
Solutions can be

Scalability
Limitations defined by
data center capacity
limits
Can scale without real

8. PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH
8
POINTERS
• Keep focused on what we already
have and what we need, then want in
the cloud ref MoSCoW method.
• Assume knowledge gaps exist in the
technical team based on a recent
'aCloudGuru' (aka. Pluralsight) survey
where 8% of engineers considered
themselves advanced cloud
practitioners and 75% of technical
managers expected to utilize
advanced cloud features.
• Ensure a data-driven approach to the
cloud migration underwrites the main
project. Segment or iterate your project
management approach to have a
discovery iteration/segment that
initially defines what we have and then
what we need to have to achieve our
STRATEGY
• Map out existing infrastructure
architecture.
• Map out existing data architecture
including, schema, data at rest
loads/locations and data generation
rates per day/week/month.
• Map out existing network infrastructure
in-terms of architecture I/O and
throughput to consider over internet
data transfer options for data in-transit.
• Is what you have secure? If not, what
security objectives should be set.
• Map resource types, configuration and
project objectives to solution the best
fit spread of target cloud resources.
• Devise a migration strategy taking
timeframe, security, cost and
acceptable data loss for the migration

12. PROJECT COST TOLERANCES
• Cost your project for success as it will be always be cheaper than failure in a
migration project to the cloud.
• Consider your project goals and associated requirements, are they considered
critical in the company's road map for development? If so, ensure appropriate
technology and associated funding for this fundamental shift in
your company's technological paradigm is in place. This task requires a
funded project step/segment/cycle (aka. requirements analysis).
• Ensure non-functional requirements like training and development road maps
for technical staff are in place for post-project adoption.
• On-premise costs will be radically different so assign a stage/iteration to get a
data driven view of the new cost profile upon completion of the project.
• Ensure project monitoring solutions are part of your project's non-
functional requirements.
• Have an overrun budget (similar to an SRE style error budget) to account for
contingencies in such a complex project. Only large overruns
should invalidate a project's continuance given the increasing cost of rollback
over the project's lifecycle.

13. RECOMMENDATIONS
Cloud Migration Projects 13
Fail to plan, plan to fail. Ensure you fund your project fully and sanity
check your project scope, reach and objectives against your functional
and non-functional requirements.
Know your current infrastructure in detail and where the actual gaps
are.
Ensure you document what you know into a workflow and
validate/complete it with an initial project cycle/segment around
discovery. Leave assumptions at the door on what you have and what
can get in the cloud.
Data is king. Make sure your migration strategy is tailored to your actual
data profile at rest and in transit/generation.
If a hybrid strategy is your only option, it can over time lead to a full
migration to the cloud if you plan with enough foresight and knowledge.
Cost your project for success, and ensure your project details a data-
based cost profile for your end solution given it will be radically
different to an on-premise cost profile.
Consider your project objectives in terms of value-creating goals and
efficiency-creating objectives. Sanity-check them to ensure they are
realistic. This should see periodic segments/iterations in your project
that evaluate these criteria for continuing project feasibility
Embrace cloud-native features as much as possible in your solution as
