Mistake #1 – Leaping Before You Look
Cloud is a means to an end. You want happy end users using applications that meet your security and compliance needs.

#cloudmistakes
Mistake #1 – Leaping Before You Look
ü Can the cloud deliver my applica3ons with acceptable performance? ü Do I have any compliance considera3ons that restrict my ability to use shared infrastructure?
ü Will the cloud meet my availability requirements?
Key factors to consider:

#cloudmistakes
Mistake #2 – Thinking You Have Found the One
Choosing a cloud provider is not like marriage. You may want to to change providers later on.

#cloudmistakes
Mistake #2 – Thinking You Have Found the One

Mistake #3 – If It Fits, It Ships
14
Don’t make the assumption that every cloud supports your most complex applications.
#cloudmistakes
Mistake #3 – If It Fits, It Ships
Key factors to consider:
15
ü How many 3ers does my applica3on have? ü Do I require layer 2 connec3vity between 3ers? ü Do I need to cluster my DB for performance and availability? ü Do I need specialized networking devices in the configura3on?
#cloudmistakes
Mistake #4 – Believing Tomorrow Will Be Like Today
16
The cloud may be what you need today. In all likelihood, it won’t be the only thing you need tomorrow.
#cloudmistakes
Mistake #4 – Believing Tomorrow Will be Like Today
Key factors to consider:
17
ü Do I want to use a single provider to help manage my porFolio of applica3ons?
ü As my applica3on grows, will I need physical infrastructure for performance reasons?
ü At larger scale, do the economics of the cloud work out?
#cloudmistakes
Mistake #5 – Not Leveraging the Full Potential of the Cloud
18
The cloud is a tool that opens up new possibilities.
#cloudmistakes
ü Am I sizing VMs based on previous physical specs or am I op3mizing? ü Am I leveraging the on-‐demand aspect of cloud to deal with the “bursty” parts of the app?
ü Am I designing for horizontal scalability and Layer 3 communica3on? ü Can I create an en3re test/dev, staging, and produc3on environment in the same cloud?
