The beginning of the Cloud journey
• You realize that “Digital“ is part of your core business, and software
is taking over
• But something is wrong with what you have today
• Static vs. Dynamic/Innovative
• “Everything is a ticket“ vs. Self-Service
• Task-based scripting vs. Automation
• The failures of the past still haunt you
•Data center efficiency…
•That ill-sized network fabric/SAN/… you bought… and that
hasn‘t fully depreciated yet…
The beginning of the Cloud journey
• You ask yourself questions like…
• How can you bring the value of computing closer to end users, customers,
developers, and IT?
• What do your developers need to ship more value more often?
• You explore operating modes:
• Traditional data center ops
• Managed Service Providers
• Private vs. public cloud
• DevOps vs. traditional release management
• Eventually, you decide for public cloud because of cost, limitless capacity & agility
Why agility matters to your business
• Business is about...
• Execution...not ideas!
• Good execution means you are:
• Faster to deliver
• More cost efficient
• Deliver at the right quality for your market
• Closer to your customer
• Constantly improving
• Good execution means you are competitive
• “Execution is the discipline of getting things done”
• AWS allows you to focus on execution
Why agility matters to your business
• How does AWS enable you to focus on execution?
• By going from manual, partially scripted build of
infrastructure and code to fully automated deployment of
everything...
• By shipping not once per quarter, but continuously
IF IT’S NOT AUTOMATED,
ITS NOT FINISHED
We automate all the things.
• You‘ll do something frequently, automate it!
• You need it done correctly and uniformly, automate it!
• You want to be faster, automate it!
• You (probably) do it already:
• Testing... in software development
• Deployment, patching, updating... of applications & OS
• In the cloud, we automate the lifecycle of everything
• In particular, we automate…
Code Build + Deploy Run
What gets automated
• End to end lifecycle for all infrastructure resources
• “Cradle to grave“: creation, configuration, runtime, termination
• Spans all elements in the infrastructure
• Security Groups (firewall rules)
• Monitoring, logging configuration
• Virtual servers
• Load balancers
• NAT Gateways
• Authentication configuration
• …
13
Cloud Automation
• Automate end-to-end lifecycle for the whole infrastructure...
because in the cloud, infrastructure is (can be! should be!) code
• Repeatable
• Reusable
• Versioned
• Can you do this on-premises?
• Kinda, sorta, clumsy, vendor specific…
• It just wasn‘t designed for this purpose...
...and you will need procurement involved
• Many cloud feats are unavailable. E.g. you can't...
• „Magically“ create things
• Easily automate infrastructure configuration
• Pure “Cloud Magic“ is access to limitless capacity, and
Cloud Automation is the key to access to it!

“Traditional“ on-premises approach
Automated Cloud approach
The Nordcloud Approach to Cloud Automation
• We help you build the
infrastructure in AWS
through automation (at
“design” or “migration” stage)
• Our services extend into the
full lifecycle
• With our Managed Cloud
Service we can operate your
service for you
• Automation reduces cost of
support

What to automate 16
Don‘t automate / use services:
• Stateful resources
(database/cache/CDN)
• Slow to deploy resources
• Certain shared infrastructure
Automate:
• Stateless
• Fast deployment
• Frequent redeployment beneficial
Automation Results & Benefits
• Deploy more quickly, more often and with confidence
• Easy, fast scalability & availability
• Faster testing
• Improve time to market:
• Increased developer productivity via combined infrastructure and deployment
automation
• Enable microservices
• Availbility improvement
• Defined state every time, full-stack knowledge, single source of truth
• Test against same configuration in test/dev/production
• Error free deployments due no manual steps

CLOUD AVAILABLE,
OPTIMISED,
& SECURE
Operations in the Cloud
• Even with automation there are plenty of things to
manage
•Security (Incidents, Config, Policy...)
•Backup – snapshots & services (like AWS RDS)
•Monitoring
•Availability
