Forrester estimates that cloud adoption will soar 91% from $100 billion to $191 billion in 5 years. The next phase of cloud adoption will feature more diverse workloads, more applications that bridge public clouds and private data centers, and a greater emphasis on cost efficiency. In this webinar, we’ll discuss the impact of cloud adoption on the industry and on your business, including realignment of tech budgeting and applications, retooled staffing to enhance the skill sets of your internal teams, and the role of specialist firms in accelerating your progress. Join Vikram Garlapati, Manager of Solutions Architect, AWS, Forrester Vice President and Principal Analyst John Rymer, along with Amit Khanna, VP of Cloud Services at Virtusa, to gain insight into the state of cloud adoption and to learn the lessons and best practices gained from multiple engagements that helped customers transform their application landscapes. Learning objectives: 1) Understand overall trends in cloud adoption 2) Learn best practices for migrating diverse workloads – to take full advantage of cloud services

29. Recap: Cloud Adoption Phases
Applying best practices across the complete journey
CLOUD MIGRATION BEST PRACTICES
Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3
Exploration
• Establish quantifiable goals
and objectives
• Factor in your existing
organizational constraints
• Choose cloud platforms
wisely
Rationalization
• Do not lose focus on business
value of the application
• Balancing risk vs reward
• Consider interdependencies
of Applications
• Vendor Lock-in benefits
Optimization
• Pipelines and Continuous
Delivery
• Rationalize Security
Models
30. Establish quantifiable goals and objectives
Focus on improving the business capability

nal Cost
• Faster time to market
• Scalability and availability
• Improve user experience
• Capability led innovation
• Reduce application
maintenance cost
• Remove application
duplication
• Reduce cost of developing
new capability
• Reduce hardware and
software costs
• Reduce cost of maintaining
the IT infrastructure
• Capex vs Opex
Lower cost alone should not be the goal
31. Financial: Current cost models, existing contracts etc.
Regulatory: Data security and ownership, compliance and other
related requirements
Organizational: Current skillsets and competencies, vendors,
team structures
Service: Existing service level agreements, contracts in place etc.
Technical: Technology stacks, software licenses, integration
requirements
Operational: DevOps, governance , risk management etc.
Existing organizational constraints are important
EXPLORATION BEST PRACTICES
Document, plan and incorporate constraints
32. Cloud platforms are very diverse ( SaaS, PaaS, IaaS) - Choose wisely
Vendor lock and constraints increase from IaaS, PaaS to SaaS

33. Do not lose focus on business value of the application
Technical possibilities alone may not provide the optimal rationalization plan
RATIONALIZATION BEST PRACTICES
Business Value
• Agility
• Innovation
• Risk
• User Satisfaction
• Financial
IT Efficiency
• Operational Cost
• Potential Cost
• Standardization
• Reuse
• Operational Maturity

• Strategic

Business value should be the key driver
Efficiency / Suitability
34. Do not de-risk to the extent of making the program irrelevant
Adopting a rational level of risk paves the way for high returns
RATIONALIZATION BEST PRACTICES
• Pick lowest risk application (something we can live without – in the worst
case)
• Also end up being the lowest impact application
General tendency when moving to the cloud;
Downside is that even with great success, only minimal positive impact will be
realized
We recommend a balanced approach, where a representative group of
applications are picked including low impact low-risk, but also some
high impact applications that can validate the promise of cloud
computing
Balance low hanging fruits and complex migrations
35. Interdependencies of Applications
RATIONALIZATION BEST PRACTICES
Take a holistic view of applications, where does the application fit in, in the grand scheme
Dependency
Structure Matrix
End points remediation can be a huge undertaking
36. Vendor Lock-in is not always a bad thing
RATIONALIZATION BEST PRACTICES
Clearly understand the upside and downside of avoiding vendor lock-in
Pros
• Provides portability across
cloud platforms
• Protects against platform
cost increases
Cons
• Requires additional effort
• More expensive to build,
operate and maintain
• Increase in time to market
• Can leverage only the lowest
common services
• Platform specific services
can not be leveraged
Be pragmatic about vendor lock in
37. Focus on Cloud Pipelines and Continuous Delivery from the onset
OPTIMIZATION BEST PRACTICES
Continuous Delivery reduces Time To Market and increases operational agility
Transitioning to a Cloud DevOps model can yield huge benefits
38. Re-think security models
A tiered security model is the key; leverage shared security model, application and
infrastructure security capabilities of cloud
OPTIMIZATION BEST PRACTICES
Application
Security
• Most likely the enterprise architecture will
be hybrid, plan for it
• Federated SSO
• Identity providers and Service Providers
• Common authorization model
Data Security
• Encryption at rest and in motion
• Key management
• Data residency
Infrastructure
Security
• Virtual Private Clouds and Subnets
• Access Frameworks ( IAM)
Rationalize and simplify security models
