Legacy Migration First

Legacy Migration First
Why shouldn’t you take a big expansive existing application to prove out the cloud platform?

13. www.mammothdata.com | @mammothdataco
Critical First
{OSI / CloudBees Webinar}

14. www.mammothdata.com | @mammothdatacowww.mammothdata.com | @mammothdataco
Mission Critical First
Why not take your most important application to the cloud first?
Good availability
Good recovery
“who needs backups”?

Amazoning
{OSI / CloudBees Webinar}

16. www.mammothdata.com | @mammothdatacowww.mammothdata.com | @mammothdataco
Amazoning
Take your existing VMs, Move them to Amazon.
Any new VMs, set them up on Amazon largely with your existing processes.
Easy to do!
Now we can say we are Cloud using IaaS mainly!
Whoohoo we went to the cloud!

17. www.mammothdata.com | @mammothdataco
Amazoning with Puppet
{OSI / CloudBees Webinar}

18. www.mammothdata.com | @mammothdatacowww.mammothdata.com | @mammothdataco
Amazoning with Puppet
Okay get serious, manually doing all of our VMs on Amazon, no one is that stupid...
We’re going to use puppet to eliminate the steps!
Devops + Cloud, if we can get NoSQL or BigData in there we will be at the leading edge of the industry
in buzzword compliance!

Islands In The Cloud

20. www.mammothdata.com | @mammothdatacowww.mammothdata.com | @mammothdataco
Islands In The Cloud
Each application or system was evaluated independently “fast it” and the best solution was picked.
The user is the integration platform… (open one screen, copy and paste from one system to the
next)
Authentication is done 1999 style (remember your 20 usernames and passwords)

The Big Bang Theory
{OSI / CloudBees Webinar}

22. www.mammothdata.com | @mammothdatacowww.mammothdata.com | @mammothdataco
The Big Bang Theory
If the cloud is so great and it is the inevitable future of things to come, why don’t we just
start the migrate everything project right here and now!

Forgetting Standards
{OSI / CloudBees Webinar}

24. www.mammothdata.com | @mammothdatacowww.mammothdata.com | @mammothdataco
Forgetting Standards
As with each new stage of development of the technology industry, vendors will
overpromise and offer you extensions...their own way of doing things…

Go It Alone
{OSI / CloudBees Webinar}

Go It Alone
There are some organizations that deal really well with transitions and are neither
paralyzed nor do they step in it.
Some of us forge ahead and go first either as a warning for others or because we want to
be the one to lead after learning from our mistakes...
