planning & governance

Planning the
Right Approach

For companies that are not already cloud native, it would be advisable to define and articulate the reasons for moving to the cloud, since this will influence the migration plan as well as determine which workloads and data need to be migrated to the cloud. While the cloud offers a lot of advantages, there are also some risks that need be mitigated when drawing up a plan. Our approach includes the following:

Business Value of Cloud Migration
Pre-Migration Prep Task List
High-Level Work Plan for Migration Phases
Risks and Mitigation Strategies
Key Deliverables and Sprint Plan
Stakeholder Alignment
Communications Plan

Governance:
The Path to Control

The migration plan should also define a governance framework that lays out policies and processes to administer the cloud from various aspects: Technology, Finance, Security, etc

Development Framework: White Listing of Services
Policy Framework: Data, Process, IT
Operations Framework: AAA, Monitoring, Production Support
Management Framework: Finance, Risk, Security, Privacy Policy

Cloud infrastructure provisioning

Nuts and Bolts

With a migration plan in hand and governance around policies and processes defined, the next step would be to build out the infrastructure. This involves the following steps:

Cloud Solution Architecture
Landing Zone Creation
IAM and Cloud Policy Administration
VPC, IP Space, DNS, API, Inernet Gateway Provisioning, Sub-nets and Route 53
Cloud Compute, Storage and DB Provisioning and Initialization (EC2, Lambda, Containerization-Fargate)
Data Caching and Cloud Front
Security Policy and Guardrails Implementation
Monitoring (Cloud Watch)
Cloud Data Migration Tool and DevOps Tool Suite

migration and refactoring

The Smart Advantage

With an AWS landing zone and services provisioned, data and application migration can be started. Migration involves the following steps:

Proof of Concept
Data Migration
Application Migration
Re-factor the Application
Activate Other AWS Services as Needed
Bleed Queues and Cutover to Cloud Instance
Optimization of the Environment
Ongoing Governance
