Microservices Architecture Enables DevOps: Migration to a Cloud-Native Archit...Pooyan Jamshidi
A look at the searches related to the term “microservices” on Google Trends revealed that the top searches are now technology driven. This implies that the time of general search terms such as “What is microservices?” has now long passed. Not only are software vendors (for example, IBM and Microsoft) using microservices and DevOps practices, but also content providers (for example, Netflix and the BBC) have adopted and are using them.
I report on experiences and lessons learned during incremental migration and architectural refactoring of a commercial mobile back end as a service to microservices architecture. I explain how we adopted DevOps and how this facilitated a smooth migration towards Microservices architecture.
Migrating your Existing Applications to the CloudNestweaver
Cloud migration is the process of moving the applications, data or business elements from on-premise location or organization computer to the cloud or migrating from one cloud environment to another. The transition of data between cloud environments is called cloud to cloud migration and transitioning to a different cloud provider is called cloud service migration. In some cases, the successful migration to service provider environment may require middleware or cloud integration tool to bridge the gap between the service provider and the customer.

How to Guarantee High Performance for Application Data in the CloudBuurst
Just a few years ago, companies were only beginning to experiment with cloud storage possibilities. Today, mainstream usage of the cloud has proven former cloud concerns around security, compliance and cost are less relevant. As more cloud use cases move beyond backup and disaster recovery (DR) to now include running mission critical applications, a new set of concerns around achieving high performance in the cloud has emerged.
In this webinar with SoftNAS and Modus, learn how Modus moved its eDiscovery App from an on-premises datacenter to AWS for greater scalability without sacrificing performance.
How to Make Your Move to the Cloud with ConfidenceCloud Spectator
Choosing the right Cloud provider is crucial to the success of your organization. The stability and performance of critical applications; and infrastructure cost management are two of the most pressing concerns for the modern CIO. But selecting the right IaaS provider can be a daunting task, especially considering that price-performance of seemingly similar VM's between providers varies so dramatically.
Because of price and performance discrepancies throughout the industry, you run the risk of grossly over-paying for your infrastructure. Learn how Cloud benchmarking of your applications on the leading Cloud providers can ensure that you're not overpaying for your services. Find out how we helped a client in the Oil and Gas industry save over $1.8M per year in infrastructure costs (a 47% savings) by identifying the actual projected cost of running their applications on the shortlist of providers.

Do you use Cloud? Why? What about the 15 year legacy of your data center? How many Enterprise vendors tried to sell you their "Hybrid Cloud" solution? What actually is a Hybrid Cloud?
Cloud computing is not just a new way of running servers or Docker containers. The interesting part of any Cloud offering are managed services that provide solutions to difficult problems. Prime examples are messaging (SNS/SQS), distributed storage (S3), managed databases (RDS) and especially turn-key solutions like managed Hadoop (EMR).
Hybrid Cloud is usually understood as a way to unify or standardize server hosting across private data centers and Public Cloud vendors. Some Hybrid Cloud solutions even go as far as providing a unified API that abstracts away all the differences between different platforms. Unfortunately that approach focuses on the lowest common denominator and effectively prevents using the advanced services that each Cloud vendor also offers. However, these services are the true value of Public Cloud vendors.
Another approach to integrating Public Cloud and private data centers is using services from both worlds depending on the problems to solve. Don't hide the cloud technologies but make it simple to use them - both from within the data center and the cloud instances. Create a bridge between the old world of the data center and the new world of the Public Cloud. A good bridge will motivate your developers to move the company to the cloud.
Based upon recent developments at ImmobilienScout24, this talk tries to suggest a sustainable Cloud migration strategy from private data centers through a Hybrid Cloud into the AWS Cloud.
Bridging the security model of the data center with the security model of AWS.
Integrating the AWS identity management (IAM) with the existing servers in the data center.
Secure communication between services running in the data center and in AWS.
Deploying data center servers and Cloud resources together.
Service discovery for services running both in the data center and AWS.
Most of the tools used are Open Source and this talk will show how they come together to support this strategy:

Gartner did an Audience survey at the Gartner US data center conference Dec 2013 showing that the No. 1 Issue Slowing Adoption of Public Cloud Computing was Security. Cloud is a place where 82% of organization will store sensitive data in the next 2 years according to a study from Ponemon Institute. The Ponemon Institute concluded that Cloud security is an oxymoron for many companies. Sixty-two percent of respondents do not agree or are unsure that cloud services are thoroughly vetted before deployment. Sixty-nine percent believe there is a failure to be proactive in assessing information that is too sensitive to be stored in the cloud. 46 percent of IT professionals in this study say their organizations have stopped or slowed the adoption of cloud services because of security concerns, indicating there is still work to be done to continue advancing cloud adoption. Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) showed that reported cloud outages due to “Insecure Interfaces & APIs”accounted for 29% of all threats; and “Data Loss & Leakage” accounted for 25% of all threats reported. 25% of reported cloud outages did not reveal the causes of the outages. The aim of this report is to encourage transparency and accountability from cloud service providers. Consumers have no control over security once data is inside the public cloud. Completely reliant on provider for application and storage security. A private cloud gives a single Cloud Consumers organization the exclusive access to and usage of the infrastructure and computational resources. But Consumer has limited capability to manage security within outsourced IaaS private cloud. Depending upon the type of Cloud Deployment Model additional threats vectors (that would have not come into the equation for a non-cloud deployment) could be induced. An example of such a threat vector in a SAAS deployment would be induced by multi-tenancy when the same application run time is being used to service multiple tenants and their segregated data. Cloud computing may present different risks to an organization than traditional IT solutions. Examples from Cloud Security Alliance highlighting concerns that Virtualization is bringing. This is one of the key elements of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud offerings and private clouds, and it is increasingly used in portions of the back-end of Platform as a Service (PaaS) and SaaS (Software as a Service) providers as well. Just to mention a few examples: A few exmples of Hypervisor Architecture Concerns include: VM Encryption - Virtual machine images are vulnerable to theft or modification when they are dormant or running. The solution to this problem is to encrypt virtual machine images at all times, but there are performance concerns at this time. For high security or regulated environments, the performance cost is worth it. Encryption must be combined with administrative controls, DLP, and audit trails to prevent a snapshot of a running VM from “escaping into the wild,” which
Using the Amazon cloud requires a lot of moving parts like AMIs, ASGs, and ELBs. See how a small Netflix team developed web-based tools to abstract and clarify these cloudy components for use by hundreds of engineers.

Multi-tenancy refers to the ability to run multiple users of an application on a shared infrastructure. Such an infrastructure makes oblivious the need for having a dedicated infrastructure for each user or user group. This helps in the economies of scale by saving on the per user cost of operations.
Several SaaS based applications like SalesForce.com provide a fine grained multi-tenant model. The common way to implement multi-tenancy is at the data layer, however this introduces a fair set of challenges when one decides to move to the cloud. Most solutions would focus around spreading the users across the cloud, however, what happens when a user is large enough to spread across the cloud? If you have an existing application, it requires a complete rewrite and also forces fairly significant changes to the existing data model. The current set of multi-tenant practices do not address the challenges of dynamic elasticity. The session tries to look at the challenges and possible solutions for the context.

Making the Journey_ 7 Essential Steps to Cloud Adoption.pdfAnil
Cloud adoption can be a transformative journey for businesses, offering scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency. Here are seven essential steps to successfully adopt cloud technology
Application Darwinism: Why Most Enterprise Apps Will Move to the Cloud (SVC20...Amazon Web Services
(Presented by Skytap) Complex multi-tier enterprise applications that have been under development for decades assume reliable hardware and typically have dependencies on underlying operating systems, hardware configurations, and network topologies. The boundary between one application or service and another is often fuzzy, with many interdependencies. These traits make some enterprise applications difficult to refactor and move to a public cloud. Even the teams that manage these applications can be unfamiliar with cloud terminology and concepts. In this session for enterprise IT architects and developers, Brad Schick, CTO of Skytap and Skytap customers Fulcrum, DataXu and F5 will share their insights into why the evolution of enterprise applications will lead to hybrid applications that opportunistically take advantage of cloud-based services. Brad will then demonstrate Skytap Cloud with Amazon Web Services and discuss how enterprises can easily achieve this integration today for application development and testing.

"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.

2. INTRODUCTION
This presentation looks at the practical issues for
moving applications to the cloud.
It addresses the need to choose the applications
carefully and how to decide which type of cloud
platform is suitable for delivering cloud benefits.
2 How to move to the cloud?
3. INTRODUCTION
We want to lay down some straight-forward advice and steps on how this
can be achieved.
That’s what this presentation delivers.
3 How to move to the cloud?
4. INTRODUCTION
The issues addressed are:
WHAT APPLICATIONS GO WHERE?
CHOOSING A CLOUD DEPLOYMENT MODEL
• IaaS
• PaaS
• SaaS
YOUR MIGRATION TO THE CLOUD
• Migration paths to the cloud
ASSESSING RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
• Cloud premiums
4 How to move to the cloud?
7. WHAT APPLICATIONS GO WHERE?
Not every application is suitable for cloud deployment.
Advising customers on what applications should be deployed in or out of
the cloud can be complicated.
7 How to move to the cloud?
8. WHAT APPLICATIONS GO WHERE?
8 How to move to the cloud?
1. Is the application data business-
sensitive?
2. Where will the data be held:
locally, or in the cloud with the
application?
3. Can the location of the data be
determined to ensure that
compliance is adhered to?
4. Is the application business-
critical?
5. Does the cloud provider offer
better disaster recovery
capabilities than you currently
use?
6. How is data secured?
10. WHICH DEPLOYMENT MODEL?
There are three key deployment models that underpin the right cloud migration
path to take:
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• IaaS is a basic cloud service. It provides resources such as virtual
machines (VM), network load balancers, storage and connectivity.
• To take advantage of this model, computing resources such as
CPU, memory, storage and network are added to a VM and then an
application is deployed into that same VM.
• While the underlying platform is managed by the cloud provider, the user of
the platform is responsible for maintaining their applications and taking
backups.
10 How to move to the cloud?
11. WHICH DEPLOYMENT MODEL?
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• PaaS is a computing platform, operating systems, databases and
applications delivered by the cloud provider.
• Customers deploy onto, and developers write code for, the PaaS. This is
often a highly automated and scalable environment.
• Management tools ensure resources are provisioned when demand
reaches a given level.
11 How to move to the cloud?
12. WHICH DEPLOYMENT MODEL?
Software as a Service (SaaS)
• The application software is installed in the cloud and accessed by the user
only when needed.
• The cloud owner manages the software and owns the licenses and
effectively rents the software to the users which means they make
significant savings by only paying for software when they are using it.
12 How to move to the cloud?
15. MIGRATION PATHS TO THE CLOUD
According to Gartner, there are five key migration paths to a fully enabled
cloud environment:
Re-host on IaaS
Re-factor for PaaS
Revise for IaaS or PaaS
Rebuild on PaaS
Replace with SaaS
Each of these has their pros and cons and offers opportunity for the systems
integrator to add value.
15 How to move to the cloud?
16. PATHS TO THE CLOUD
Re-host on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
16 How to move to the cloud?
Pros Cons
• Speed: Applications can be easily moved
from physical to virtual using a variety of tools
and the application can then be uploaded
directly to the cloud provider’s environment
• Cost savings: No local hardware to buy and
no power or cooling costs
• Scalability: Customer is responsible for adding
or removing resources which can lead to a delay
in incident response
• Maintenance: Customer is still responsible for
the maintenance and patching of their virtual
machines
• Distributed applications: These require careful
checking to ensure that all relevant elements of
the application have been captured in the virtual
machine otherwise the applications will fail
• Backups: If data is uploaded, there must be off-
site backups by the customer
17. PATHS TO THE CLOUD
Re-factor for Platform as a Service (PaaS)
17 How to move to the cloud?
Pros Cons
• Familiarity: Developers are using the same
languages and tools that they currently use
• Integrated management: Operations teams
are using a single management tool to
manage local and cloud based systems
• Savings: No need for retraining the IT
department to learn new management tools or
languages
Lock-in: There is a risk of lock-in when the
developer embeds access to other services from
the cloud provider. This can be avoided by
sticking to the capabilities of the generic
languages and frameworks.
• Missing capabilities: Only those features
supported by the cloud provider will be available
in the development and support frameworks. This
may mean that early in the cloud provider’s
deployment, there could be limitations on what
can be achieved.
18. PATHS TO THE CLOUD
Revise for IaaS or PaaS
18 How to move to the cloud?
Pros Cons
• Performance: Application extensions that are
written to perform natively on the cloud
platform will run faster and take advantage of
features that may not be available on the
existing platform.
• Faster time to market: Writing new front-ends
to legacy applications means delivering quick
wins to Business Units.
• Integration: Highly integrated applications will
make it easier for business units to take
advantage of IT systems and the data they
contain.
• Slower time to market: If the entire
application is to be moved to the cloud and
then extended to take advantage of new
services, this is likely to take quite some time
before benefits are available.
19. PATHS TO THE CLOUD
Rebuild on PaaS
19 How to move to the cloud?
Pros Cons
• Performance: Applications that are written to
perform natively on the cloud platform will run
faster and take advantage of features that may
not be available on the existing platform.
• Savings: Moving from large legacy hardware
estates that are often expensive to maintain and
run will result in significant cost savings.
• New platform features: Taking advantage of the
new features inside the cloud provider’s platform
will save the IT department having to add those to
existing applications. As a result, this should
generate a higher ROI than the Revise option.
• Lock-in: Once applications have been tightly
integrated with the service provider’s platform, it
may be difficult to move from that platform to an
alternative supplier.
20. PATHS TO THE CLOUD
Replace with Software as a Service (SaaS)
20 How to move to the cloud?
Pros Cons
• Cost savings: No local hardware, no
software licences and no power or cooling
costs. This is virtually the same as an
outsourced solution with the benefit of flexible
resource allocation for workload flows.
• Access to high value enterprise software
comes within the reach of SMEs who can now
afford to deploy software that can offer a
competitive advantage.
• Scalability: This is handled automatically by
the cloud provider through their SaaS
platform.
• Lock in: For commodity software such as office-
based applications this is not an issue, but where
the software needs significant customisation, any
breakdown in the business relationship between
the business and the cloud provider could be a
problem.
22. ASSESSING ROI
• The real ROI for cloud is about the costs that it would take to deliver the
same level of service internally.
• This includes hard and soft metrics such as uptime, user experience, cost
of hardware / software, integration, cost of bandwidth, data centre power
and cooling costs, and staff costs
22 How to move to the cloud?
23. ASSESSING ROI
Cloud Premiums
• The key to establishing an ROI on cloud is to look at what a cloud solution
enables that could not have been achieved using existing IT systems or
platforms. This should be thought of as a cloud premium
• The most effective way of determining the cloud premium as part of the
ROI is to compare the business case with what cloud offers.
• When doing this, consider what it would cost to deliver this using existing IT
infrastructures and tools. This will help clarify what is cloud premium and
what is simply a benefit from more flexible processes.

provisioned
• Ability to do more intensive and extensive testing of
applications
• Access to high value test tools on demand via SaaS
• Access to test professionals in different locations
Scalability • Ease of adding additional compute, network and/or storage
resources
• Ability to shrink resource pool when not required
Competitive advantage • Faster time-to-market for new applications and solutions
means new market opportunities can be quickly explored
• Speed of identification of trends and designing competitive
solutions
• Lower cost of IT releasing more money for other parts of the
business
This diagram demonstrates how cloud, location, performance and applications can be brought together. General applications such as e-mail and collaboration are not high performance and can be placed on public cloud. At the other end of the spectrum are applications that are business-critical, highly sensitive and require high performance systems, such as ERP, finance and M2M trading. These are best run on dedicated systems where the business can provide security and risk analysis.
