OpenStack cloud adoption is driving the need for industrialized migration strategies to move business critical applications, and their associated workloads, from legacy cloud environments to OpenStack cloud platforms.
The challenge: how can enterprise IT perform the migrations of the complex, in-production business critical application systems from legacy clouds to OpenStack clouds in an efficient, reliable, and industrialized manner?
Strategies currently being used and perfected in actual migrations to OpenStack clouds will be presented, and specific toolsets and services/process will reviewed and discussed in detail.
A tenant migration & management lifecycle model will be presented & discussed. This model will illustrate how the services approach and toolsets described above can be a highly effective solution in the onboarding, management, and optimization of business critical applications within OpenStack clouds.
The audience will gain an understanding of this complex migration challenge, and multi-faceted strategies being currently employed and perfected to meet the challenge. Participants will also gain an overview understanding of approaches to structuring and industrializing a large migration program, key technical toolsets needed, and risk mitigation.
