Application Cloud Migration and Cost Saving
Cloud migration is not simply lifting the app and migrating it to cloud. It is an iterative way that helps the technical architect and his team to create the design and processes. This results in saving cost and keeping a robust plan for speed and efficiency in place.
Discovery
What apps needs to be migrated to cloud? Start with asking simple questions and build upon it. Start with small applications first. Simpler applications are less risky and easy to act upon your cloud migration journey. The idea is to explain the non-IT people with layman terms of what and how the process and planning occurs. Therefore, starting with small legacy apps and general apps is a terrific way to carve the first stone in the path of cloud migration. Try not to throw technical jargon to business department.
Planning and Assessment
Once the app is chosen for cloud migration, the champion architects take the leading role. Their experience and deep knowledge are the driving factor in your journey of migration. Refactoring and analyzing the essential aspects of the apps that makes the smooth migration to cloud begins here. Many a times rehosting and refreshing or refactoring of the existing app can be the best action during cloud migration for simple yet large enterprise apps. While other times the bridge in design to do the migration of existing apps with minimum changes to the app is considered. In either way, the cloud architect studies the ways to save cost as well as reduce the risk and increase the returns in long run.
Refresh and Replan
Once the analysis of the apps is done, the execution to refresh and refactoring begins. There are times where the iterative nature of migration kicks in and minor changes becomes essential for smooth migration. However, a major change of plan and design is highly discouraged in any application migration. Simple reason of losing time an effort as well as demotivating the tea. As a result of which, it makes the entire migration a redundant process. Therefore, following the design and roadmap for the given migration is essential factor to successful migration. It calls for great teamwork and leadership to do the migration and follow the design and roadmap for migration.
Automation
Migration is the fantastic opportunity for automating manual processes of testing, deployment,
auto scaling and cloning the environment. Let’s consider the example of auto scaling. using automatic balancing to reduce of load on server during off season as the traffic and less users are on the application, whereby a major cost cutting can save dollars to the large or small enterprise.
Additionally, automation can reduce downtime and frees your staff for new projects and new training program. Thus, leverage automation to make existing apps efficient with reduced downtime. Automation during migration can optimize the resources at hand for small and large enterprise.
Concluding Remark
Cloud migration is simple if you have the right people with great attitude and experience. There are uncertainties during the migration and its processes, so along with experience, you need a great collaborative team who can jump into migration boat and stay with it till it reaches its destination. Start to finish you may need to engage the same team as they know how to navigate and has developed the insight into migrating the application. Therefore, to ensure the successful migration of any application, people and processes must marry and stay married till they migrate. With that humor, good luck on your cloud migration journey.
