This book covers a practical approach for adopting and migrating on premises systems and applications to the Public Cloud. Based on a clear migration master plan, it helps companies and enterprises to be prepared for Cloud computing, what and how to successfully migrate or deploy systems on Cloud, preparing your IT organization with a sound Cloud Governance model, Security in the Cloud and how to reach the benefits of Cloud computing by automation and optimizing your cost and workloads.

This book is your systematic cloud migration guide. Experiences shared by the author are drawn from real-life migration projects and contain practical advice, as well as step-by-step architecture, design, and technical implementation instructions using sample application code on GitLab. Following the guidance in this book will provide much needed support to your teams, and help you successfully complete the application cloud migration journey. Systematic Cloud Migration consists of four major parts. Part one starts with a fundamental introduction of cloud computing to establish the context for migration, including paradigm changes in five important areas: software application, DevSecOps, operations, infrastructure, and security. And these are the areas that the book follows throughout. Next, it introduces a real-life migration process that your team can follow. Part two presents the migration process for the application code, including architecture diagrams and presented by demo application code and supporting infrastructure in AWS cloud. Part three dives into DevSecOps and automation. In addition to concepts, a real-life migration diagram and sample pipeline code implemented with GitLab are include. Part four deals with efficient cloud operations. Each chapter has a practical structure: objectives, roles, inputs, process/activities, outputs/deliverables, best practices, and summary. There is a wealth of cloud production-grade template style artifacts that can be used as is. You will: Design applications in the cloud, including determining the design criteria (e.g., solution cost is a design criterion, same as security, and is not an afterthought) Understand the major migration areas: software development (application code, data, integration, and configuration), software delivery (pipeline and automation), and software operations (observability) Migrate each application element: client and business components code, data, integration and services, logging, monitoring, alerting, as well as configurations Understand cloud-critical static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), containers compliance and security scanning, and open source dependency testing Know the directions and implementation details on cost-efficient, automated, cloud-native software operations.

Cloud computing is an amazing resource that can provide fully managed platforms, auto-optimizing and even auto-healing operations, per-second billing, pre-trained machine learning models, and globally distributed transactional data stores. Cloud is also a critical enabler for organizations to compete in economies of speed. So, it's no surprise that most enterprises are engaging in a cloud migration or cloud transformation, as it's often called. Migrating a whole enterprise to the cloud isn't as easy as pushing a button, though. Simply lifting and shifting legacy applications is unlikely to bring the anticipated benefits whereas re-architecting applications to run optimally in the cloud can be cost prohibitive. Enterprises thus need a more nuanced strategy than simply proclaiming "cloud first!" A strategy isn't something you can copy-paste from a recipe book or from another organization. Diverse starting points, objectives, and constraints imply different choices and trade-offs. In addition, a cloud strategy doesn't just consider technical change but also includes close alignment across business, organization, and technology. Unfortunately, most books on cloud computing either stay at a very high level or are limited to specific vendors and products. This book closes this gap by questioning existing assumptions and presenting technology-neutral decision models ideally suited to defining and communicating a well-thought-out migration journey. NOTE: This book is available only as a print book on Amazon. For the DRM-free ebook in all formats and more information see CloudStrategyBook.com This book is a valuable guide and a comprehensive reference for: Enterprise architects who are tasked with defining and communicating a comprehensive and balanced cloud strategy Cloud architects who seek to understand the trade-offs embedded in cloud platform architectures IT executives who want to harvest the full benefits of cloud computing and anticipate the ramifications of product and architecture choices Business executives who are looking to align organizational changes with the technical transformation 30 chapters guide an organization along its journey to the cloud, focusing on options, decisions, and trade-offs -- the core elements of a sound strategy. Part 1: Understanding the Cloud - Cloud is very different from traditional IT procurement, so you'll have to rethink the way your IT works. Part 2: Organizing for the Cloud - Cloud impacts more than your tech landscape. Part 3: Moving to the Cloud - There are many ways to the cloud; please choose wisely. Part 4: Architecting the Cloud - Look beyond products and buzzwords and instead use rational decision models. Part 5: Building for the Cloud - The cloud is a formidable platform, but applications running on top of it need to do their part, also. Part 6: Embracing Cloud - To reap the full benefits of cloud, you need to go all in.

How do you start? How should you build a plan for cloud migration for your entire portfolio? How will your organization be affected by these changes? This book, based on real-world cloud experiences by enterprise IT teams, seeks to provide the answers to these questions. Here, you’ll see what makes the cloud so compelling to enterprises; with which applications you should start your cloud journey; how your organization will change, and how skill sets will evolve; how to measure progress; how to think about security, compliance, and business buy-in; and how to exploit the ever-growing feature set that the cloud offers to gain strategic and competitive advantage.
