Episode 1 - Cloud migration<\/b>
\nMigrating to the cloud is a buzzword these days. Every enterprise wants to say that they are \u201c100% cloud-enabled\u201d. If you are an enterprise looking to move over to the cloud, how should you go about it?<\/span>
\nFirst off, let\u2019s just clarify that \u201c100% cloud-enabled\u201d is a myth. Most enterprises will have a portion of their business running in their own datacenter, also known as on-premise. Therefore, a better way to quantify cloud enablement<\/a> would be \u201c100% of all applications that have been <\/span>found fit<\/span><\/i> for the cloud have been <\/span>migrated<\/span><\/i>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to decide if you really need to migrate?<\/b>
\nTo get the process off the ground, the first thing you have to decide is whether the cloud is the right fit for your use-case. If your application landscape consists of legacy code or is highly optimized for the hardware it is being run on, it is safe to say the cloud will do more harm than good. But, if your application comprises of a set of loosely coupled components, each being a small highly specialized hardware-independent function, these seem like ripe candidates for a cloud-based server-less implementation.<\/span>
\nThere should also be a good reason for this endeavour. Change for change\u2019s sake does not always equal to progress. The pros and cons of a cloud-based infrastructure must be taken into account, along with factors like cost and manpower requirements and whether they can be met.<\/span><\/p>\n

So you want to migrate. What\u2019s next?<\/b>
\nHave you decided that you want to jump into the cloud? If so, let\u2019s venture together into the labyrinth of choices you will have to make during this journey.<\/span>
\nFirst, you will have to look at various business dimensions <\/b>while contemplating your cloud implementation. For example, immediate cost benefits will be highest on IaaS implementations, after a lift and shift of on-premises applications to the cloud. Likewise, other dimensions like time to market, functional responsiveness, and scaling have to be taken into consideration and a balance has to be found. This will help you to decide if your implementation will be IaaS, PaaS or SaaS-based. Perhaps a combination may yield the best results.<\/span>
\nThe next step is app evaluation.<\/b> As mentioned earlier, it is necessary to check which applications are fit for the cloud. Low-risk applications from a business perspective can be safely migrated. However, an enterprise may feel more secure storing trade secrets, proprietary functionality, and security services on local servers. Let this be noted though, on-premise servers do not guarantee 100% security any more but cloud providers do. As a matter of fact, cloud providers take security very seriously and take strong measures to make sure that you know exactly where, and by whom your data is being accessed. Also, only authorized users can access your data.<\/span>
\nYou may be on the fence about migrating certain services, like client-server applications and supporting functions. For such cases, an <\/span>ROI analysis<\/b> will help you decide. Please note that on-premises implementation allows the enterprise to take advantage of financial levers like depreciation. In the end, let me emphasize that these decisions are highly case-specific and are not cast in stone. <\/span>
\nAn application in an enterprise is hardly ever standalone. Hence, you will have to go through <\/span>various levels of integration<\/b>. The usual options are synchronous and asynchronous integration. The on-premises data centre can be integrated with the cloud to create a hybrid cloud deployment topology. This means the cloud applications can access the on-premises applications directly, though a bit of latency will be at play. Maybe asynchronous or batch-based integration will help hide the latency.<\/span><\/p>\n

The migration process <\/b>
\nIt is a myth that cloud migration is a single-step process. As mentioned earlier, <\/span>the first step is usually a lift-and-shift approach<\/b>. This is where the existing on-premises architecture is cloned onto the cloud. This relieves the enterprise of the burden of maintaining a data centre, but that is all the benefits you\u2019ll ever get from this approach. After that, gradually, some of the functionality can be re-engineered to take advantage of managed cloud services, such as a database can be moved over to a cloud-provided database. <\/span>Then there is the concept of cloud-native applications<\/b>, where new components or functionality can be designed from the get-go to take advantage of platform-specific services built for media, analytics, or content distribution. This way the workload on the enterprise is reduced until you can be solely responsible for the business processes while letting the cloud handle the heavy lifting.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next step is to choose a cloud provider<\/a>.<\/b> Your hired or in-house Cloud expert can help you make an informed decision from myriad choices available to you. Which of these is suitable for you is highly situational, and requires you to take several factors into consideration, like cost, software or platform requirements, compliance requirements, and geographical zone availability. You may also want to take advantage of a specific API or managed service offered by a service provider. It should be noted that most of the top cloud providers have a nearly similar set of services, so if you don\u2019t have any highly specialised requirements, you cannot go wrong with either of them.  <\/span>
\nThe on-premises setup then has to be restructured to fit the cloud architecture<\/b>. Your cloud provider will definitely have a list of reference architectures available based on real-life use-cases and a list of best practices to follow, including but not limited to data and application migration tools. They also have an extensive collection of white papers to aid you in this task.<\/span>
\nImplementing the migration plan<\/b>
\nThe above discussion concludes the planning and selection stage of cloud migration. All that is left now is to implement the plan. This should begin with drawing up and implementing a proof of concept. Not only will this allow you to run performance comparisons with your existing application, but it will also highlight unforeseen challenges and complexity levels which may show up during the actual migration process, allowing you to be prepared for the same. This will also give you a good idea of the reliability of the chosen cloud provider and will allow you to evaluate its support system.<\/span>
\nWhile performing the actual migration, you should be careful to minimize the resulting disruption time and service outages. Dry runs should be conducted to identify potential failure points and minimize errors during the process.  Every use case will have its own set of steps to follow during the migration, but it generally starts by taking a backup of the databases, followed by the deployment of applications, and migrating the database. Also, there will be quite a few application components to manage and set up, like middleware, caching, warehousing, and file systems. All these components must be planned and mapped to the relevant cloud service. Don't forget to set access roles and policies! Make sure you have a clear idea of who should be able to access your applications and which components they can access, then assign appropriate roles for them. Parallel deployments of the application in the cloud and on-premises must be performed to check performance and detect failures.<\/span>
\nBenchmarking tests are a must. This will let you know how your cloud application runs in comparison to your on-premises setup and will allow you to fine-tune your setup and be sure if it is ready for deployment.<\/span>
\nCongratulations! You have successfully migrated to the cloud. As mentioned before, cloud migration is not a goal but a journey. Every new application will have to be evaluated whether it is a better fit for cloud or on-premises implementation. If it is destined for the cloud, integration with other applications that may still be on-premises will have to be taken into account. As new services are released by the provider, existing on-premises applications will have to be re-evaluated to see if they can take advantage of those new services. <\/span>
\nAs you can see, this journey is not easy, but once it has been completed, just sit back and watch the clouds do their magic! But with regular management and prompting from you of course!<\/span>
