Application Modernization

Cloud Migration Strategy

OUR WORKSHOPS

App Modernizationand Cloud Migration

80% IT BudgetSpent on maintenance and upkeep

Application Changesbecome too complex, difficult,and/or costly to implement

Stuck Keeping the Lights Onmaking it difficult to keep up with

accelerated standards

Application Modernization focuses on improving the value proposition of our technology.

It re-positions IT as an asset, not a cost-center.

What happens if we migrate but don’t modernize?

Critical Thinking Time…

What benefits do we get from a holistic modernization and migration strategy?

Critical Thinking Time…

RetireRemove the application or platform completely.

ReplaceReplace the application or platform with a new version or competing solution.

RemediateInvest in extending the lifeline of the application or platform.

Re-ArchitectRedesign the application or platform to meet demands.

Re-PlatformRedesign the application to run on different infrastructure.

RebuildRewrite the application to remove overwhelming technical debt or change the implementation.

to automation • SLA’s

How to Manage The Modern Datacenter

Modern DatacenterManaged Services

Service and Operations is the path to realizing the full ROI of Modern Data Center.

Service and Operations will help standardize & solidify processes while also making processes and systems scalable.

Through benchmarking these processes an organization begins to realize the full ROI of the Modern Data Center.

The Modern Data Center also comes with modernized processes that streamline tasks saving time and money.

Service and Operations – Why?

• Provides operational agility and efficiency

• Increase business performance by continually evolving processes in ways that increase responsiveness and innovation

• Streamlining operations through automation

• Governance for control and maintaining operational efficacy

• Delivering standardized processes and procedures

• Security best practices

• Cost Containment which are built into the processes through proper governance

Continuous Delivery

Continuous Delivery – 3 Ways

Flow Feedback Experiment

Limit work-in-process

Make work visible

Reduce batch size

Identify and elevate constraints

Eliminate hardships and waste

Reduce handoffs

Flow

See problems as they occur

Work safely in a complex system

Swarm and solve problems to build knowledge

Enable optimization for downstream

Keep pushing quality close to the sourceFeedback

Create a safety culture

Enable continuous learning

Institutionalize continuous improvement

Inject resilience into daily work

Leaders reinforce learning culture

Transform local discoveries to global knowledge

Version Control

Trunk-based Development

Commit to pushing changesto trunk

Commit Early & Often

Push changes to trunk several times throughout the workday.

Minimize Branching

Branches should be fewand short lived

Everything in Source

Everything goes in source control-code, database scripts, configuration, infrastructure

Build

Every Change Triggersa Build

Commit should build the codebase to ensure code can integrate.

Independent Build

Build the changes outside of developer tools with scripts

Notify on Failure

All team members are notified when builds fail

Visible Dashboards

Internal team members and external stakeholders can see the history of build quality

Test

Automate Tests

Every build should run baseline tests and code analysis

Threshold Failure

Fail if test coverage or code analysis are under threshold

Test Coverage

The amount of code coveredby tests should be trackedand managed

Visible Dashboards

Internal team members and external stakeholders can see the history of test quality

Deploy

Automate Deployment

All deployments are scripted automated

Test the Deployment

A series of verification tests should quickly verify the build

Realize from Build

The build process triggersthe release process

Visible Dashboards

Internal team members and external stakeholders can see the release history
