- 8. • Speed innovation in service of solving customer problems! • Enable our product development teams to move quickly • Not directly solving for hosting costs, but added benefit Why Intuit Chose to Move Workloads to Cloud
- 9. What workloads are good to start with? 1
- 10. • Build environments • Load test generation • “Decoupled” systems • Non-production environments Workload Choice
- 11. Cloud-native or hybrid toolsets? 2
- 12. • We feel choosing cloud-native toolsets is the best option • Avoid things that add friction on the cloud side • Cloud-native toolsets give the most access to your cloud capabilities • The people we hire increasingly have cloud-native skills Hybrid: Attractive from an Engineering Mindset, but … What about cloud vendor lock-in?
- 13. Don’t treat your cloud like your data center 3
- 14. • Don’t bring legacy management patterns into your cloud environments • Insist on right patterns as you move to cloud! • You’ll track new metrics – average instance age (keep low), utilization • Anti-patterns to watch for when moving from legacy • Challenge yourself to realize these patterns from the start Don’t Make Your Cloud Feel Like Fog
- 16. Track Your Costs! • Public cloud allows elastic use of resources – You can save $$ – You can also waste $$ if your engineers aren’t used to tracking their spending – Remember to “shut the cloud off” • Empower teams to manage their own spending – New mindset – but part of enabling small teams – Make sure to keep enough central oversight on run rate
- 17. Don’t Let This Happen to You
- 18. Intuit’s results
- 19. Our Wins (and a Few Bumps) • Workloads moved to cloud have blossomed! • Small teams are successful at getting new products out quickly • Elastic capabilities help us make our hosting dollars go further – Load test generation usage up quite a bit – Emerging pattern of on-demand dev environment creation and automatic environment shutoff after a period of time
