Pre-cloud Case Study: ZATZ

Launched in 1997

PHP was still at 1.0

Windows was Windows 95

Mac OS was System 7

PC: 8MB RAM, 500MB HD, $1700

Titanic was the big movie of the year

Blogs were still considered “zines”

Mark Zuckerberg was 13

If we ran out of server capacity, we had to buy a

new box

Pre-AWS migration was very challenging

It took three full years

12




Distributed systems were almost impossible to keep in sync


13





Distributed workloads were nearly impossible to monitor and manage


14






When we had some kind of race condition, tracking it down was brutally challenging


15







Debugging and maintaining multi-server code was nearly impossible


16









Delivering code updates without downtime was absolutely impossible

17










Monitoring each workload process in real-time was impossible

18











As we increased flexibility due to the cloud, complexity increased exponentially

19











As we increased flexibility due to the cloud, complexity increased exponentially

Diagnosing where problems occurred (infrastructure or code) was very slow

Measuring the migration to the cloud is critical

Create baselines (black-box, frontend and

backend app metrics)

Compare and understand deviations from baselines

Discovery

• How do you identify and prioritize infrastructure, apps, and teams to migrate?

• How can you easily baseline customer experience and availability pre-migration?

• Do you understand infrastructure, app & service, and team dependencies?

Key Discovery & Cloud Readiness QuestionsProve the cloud has improved your application and prepare to show progress

Cloud Readiness

• Are your tools built for and priced for the cloud?

• How can you baseline customer experience and availability pre-migration?

• Can you see where your workloads are in real time?

For time sensitive lift and shift migrations or packaged apps, Synthetic monitoring is fast and easy.

APM Service Maps & Transaction Data Easily Surface Dependencies

Re-Architecture Discovery Strategy: Inventory On-Premises & App Dependencies

Recommendation:

1. Inventory on-premises infrastructure

2. Surface app and code dependencies with APM.

3. Map high potential infrastructure to apps to teams and prioritize sequence to optimize learning & success

Monitoring On-prem and cloud hosts with the same tool enables migration tracking and investment protection

Infrastructure Monitoring

• Choose infrastructure and cloud agnostic monitoring

• Work with a vendor with flexible terms for migrations

• Track your progress at a glance.

Migrate & Acceptance Testing

62

Migration

• What types of acceptance criteria should determine if the application is considered stable and performing well in the cloud?

• How is the overall migration initiative tracking across applications, application health, and infrastructure?

Acceptance Testing

• Does the team have confidence in the health and stability of the migrated application?

• Has an application’s performance gotten faster or slower?

• Is an application more or less stable than before?

Key Migration Measurement QuestionsMake sure your migration projects are on time and on budget

When a workload reaches the cloud, prove it’s happy.

AWS Migration Programs

AWS Global Migration Segment - ISVKalpan Raval

Disruption demands a response

BCG research indicates that leaders believe the biggest impacts on their industry will come from:

• Speed of adopting new technology

• Big-data analytics

• Technology platforms

• Enhanced operations processes

80

Migration Acceleration Program (MAP)

• Mature organisations are often built upon a complex digital tapestry that embodies years of technical debt

• Addressing this issue allows IT organisations to better serve the needs of the business, and enable digital transformation

81

Source: McKinsey Global Survey

But it is hard to drive real change when so much

budget just supports the status quo


Responding to disruption requires a new model

Focus IT on what differentiates your business.

Retire technical debt.
