    Most people now agree that the cloud has become a core element of any enterprise’s technology strategy. Indeed, in the past few years we have seen the conversation around cloud adoption move from “if” to “when” and “how.” It is, in short, a fact of life.

    What if you were able to achieve both efficiency and innovation in all the
    business domains and applications across your entire portfolio? What if
    you could take advantage of the cloud and all of its resources and

    With a good roadmap to lead the way, you can. This chapter covers

    well as from those of our customers.

    Cloud migration: three stages
    There is always a first cloud application. In every IT organization, some
    brave soul will either move an existing application to the cloud or create
    a new one there. In so doing, this person will gain an understanding
    beyond all the hype of what developing, testing, deploying, and
    maintaining a cloud application is all about.

    Table 3-1: Cloud migration principles
    Sooner or later, it becomes obvious that running a large number of the
    IT portfolio perhaps even the majority of it in the cloud makes sense
    from a variety of perspectives. In most cases, running in the cloud
    provides substantial cost savings; reduces or eliminates the need for an
    enterprise to maintain its own datacenters; reduces or eliminates the
    need to manage hardware and software updates; and enables the sort
    of innovation we discussed in Chapter 1. The cloud is very compelling;
    yet the migration phase typically involves many more applications and

    any other by far.

    During your migration to the cloud, some perhaps the majority of your
    applications will be moved more or less intact as virtual machines (VMs).
    This Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) style of migration has a number of
    advantages, as discussed in previous chapters. After they are in the
    cloud, applications can take advantage of the numerous services
    available to them, quickly giving those applications far more function and
    return on investment. This chapter first looks at how you can redesign
    your applications to better take advantage of the underlying cloud
    framework, and then how you connect them to services in the cloud to
    rapidly expand their features and functions.
