Cloud Migration and Cloud Architecture Design

Organizations must continuously acquire new customers, satisfying their needs while working in a fiercely competitive environment. Today’s organizations must be more agile to respond to increasing customer demands, which requires quickly scaling up to millions of customers and scaling down as needed without impacting the budget. Cloud migration could be the answer to achieving agility and speed. The cloud enables frequent application releases and reduces costs by applying automation and data center consolidation.

The cloud is becoming essential for every enterprise strategy. Most organizations decrease spending by moving into the public cloud and, in addition to saving costs, they convert upfront capital expenditure into operational expenditure. Many start-ups born in the last decade started in the cloud and were fueled by cloud infrastructure for rapid growth. As enterprises move to the cloud, they must focus on cloud migration strategies and the hybrid cloud.

Public clouds such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) are becoming the primary destinations to host applications, so learning about strategies and methods to migrate to the cloud is essential. In this chapter, you will learn about the various aspects of the cloud and develop “cloud thinking,” which will also help you understand the upcoming chapters better.

This chapter covers the following topics:

Public, private, and hybrid clouds
Solution architecture in the public cloud
Cloud-native architecture
Creating a cloud migration strategy
Choosing a cloud strategy
Steps for cloud migration
Application optimization in the cloud
Creating a hybrid cloud architecture
Taking a multi-cloud approach
Implementing CloudOps

By the end of this chapter, you will have learned about the benefits of the cloud and you will understand different cloud migration strategies and steps. You will also have learned about hybrid cloud design, taking a multi-cloud approach, and implementing CloudOps.
