As OpenStack adoption increases, companies are looking at ways to migrate workloads from traditional virtualization solutions like VMware or System Center to cloud infrastructures based on OpenStack.
There are multiple angles to this problem to consider:
- Pets vs Cattle: when is OpenStack the right choice and when not
- Lift and shift: when is worth to use automated migration tools like Coriolis to move virtual machines
- App migration: when to migrate individual applications and their data to a new platform (e.g. a PaaS)
- Re-develop: when to adopt modern paradigms like microservices, containers etc and redevelop applications
There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but knowing what your options are, you can do the right choice for each use case. Costs also have a big impact, for example it can be worth to lift-and-shift and use the saved money to re-architect the next app generation.
We will also do a fully automated lift-and-shift and DRaaS live demo using the Coriolis project.
Attendees will learn about the best and fastest routes to adopt an OpenStack cloud infrastructure for existing workloads and perform informed decisions on the strategy to adopt.
Attendees will also learn how to use automated tools to perform migrations effortlessly.
