Open Source Summit North America 2017

Cloud computing provides an array of hosting and service options to fit your overall company strategy. Sometimes a public cloud is your best option and other times your data requirements demand a private cloud. As needs converge, a hybrid solution continues to gain popularity. Developers must consider if their applications might be run on either or both.

In this session, drawing from her operational experience with Rackspace Cloud, on-premise OpenStack and AWS, Susan will discuss the considerations for moving applications from legacy environments to cloud. She will also the discuss the best practices for moving applications from cloud to cloud, how to decouple applications from managed services and map them to the equivalent services in the new cloud. Susan will also provide a checklist on the tasks that operators and developers should consider once they’ve decided to move their applications from one cloud environment to another.
