Taking a cloud first approach requires a different approach than you probably had to consider for your initial few workloads in the cloud. You’ll be deploying hybrid environments, and that means taking a broad view of your IT strategy, architecture, and organisational design. In this session, we cover how the CAF framework offers practical guidance and comprehensive guidelines to enterprise organisations, particularly around roles, governance, and efficiency.

54. Our Journey with AWS
• From Singapore Fling • To Cloud First / All In

55. 2011: Dev / Test POC
Key Focus
• Learn how to provision quicker
• Be able to run more projects
• Trial new tools/methodologies
Key Building Blocks
• Singapore AWS Region
• Internet VPN
• Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Key Learning’s
• LOTS of new IaaS concepts to learn
• External Partner = Quick Start
• Limited by VPN to Singapore

56. 2012: Dev / Test + Prod Ready
Key Focus
• Learn how to provision quicker
• Be able to run more projects
• Establish production capability
Key Building Blocks
• Singapore AWS Region
• Internet VPN / VPC
• Internet Gateway
Key Learning’s
• Security Design to internet critical
• External Partnering still of value
• Replicating our overly complex DC
security zone model over complicated
things !

57. 2013: Bringing it all back home
Key Focus
• Establish On-shore Environment
• Ensure benefit of low latency
• Online launch (Taste.com.au)
Key Building Blocks
• Sydney AWS Region
• Direct Connect
• Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Key Learning’s

58. 2014: Growing Pains – Time to stretch out
Key Focus
• Fix resource limits via VPC Peering
• Provide more granular design options
• Establish the base camp for wider
adoption
Key Building Blocks
• Sydney AWS / Direct Connect
• Shared Services ‘Hub’ VPC
• VPC Peering
Key Learning’s
• Use Network ACL’s sparingly
• Aim for reuse but expect exceptions
• VPC’s are ‘free’ so should have started
at least with Prod / Non-Prod VPC’s
when redesigning prior V2

59. 2015: Cloud First / All In
Key Focus
• Establish repeatable Enterprise wide
model
• Create framework for policy governance
& cost allocation
• Ensure security between LoBs
Key Building Blocks
• Sydney AWS / Direct Connect
• Multiple LoB Virtual Private Clouds
(VPCs)
• VPC Peering
Key Learning’s
• Now it is standard and in ‘code’ – can
spin up new LoB VPC in a day
• Access to AWS ‘public’ services – “It’s
Complicated”
• AWS Technology partners still needed to
address some requirements

60. Summary
• Understand the key Business drivers, opportunities but also constraints
• Conduct a Cloud capability assessment (what do we already have in the cloud? You
will be surprised!)
• Develop a clear set of Cloud principles and a Reference Architecture/ Operations
strategy
• Organisational assessment (how ready are we, and what changes do we need?)
• Ensure Executive Sponsorship of a clear Roadmap but don’t be afraid to iterate, pivot
and iterate again!
