Context​

A $21B privately held company decided to begin implementation of a hybrid cloud strategy to utilize both AWS and Azure. This required analyzing hundreds of on-prem applications, database services and several thousand workloads (VMs). The objective was to create a reusable set of reference architectures, automations and methodologies that their delivery teams could utilize to both migrate existing on-prem workloads and accelerate the deployment of new workloads into the clouds.​

Accomplishment​

Performed Application Analysis​

• Identified common architectures and platforms​

Built New Hybrid Cloud Environment for AWS and Azure​

• Identified and designed Security Requirements​
• Designed reusable Reference Architectures for identified common architectures and platforms​
• Developed reusable Landing Zones and Terraform Automation​

Migrated Pilot Applications to AWS and Azure​

• Developed Business and Technology Scoring Methodology and Cloud Decision Tree ​
• Identified pilot applications using scoring methodology​
• Designed the solution architecture for each application​
• Mentored the customer as they executed the pilot applications​

Outcome​

This project provided the customer with a solid foundation that they could use to complete the journey to their Hybrid Cloud.  Deliverables included: Reference Architectures, Security Requirements, Landing Zones, Terraform Automation, Scoring Methodology, Solution Architectures, and hands-on experience executing migrations to both AWS and Azure.​
