Cloud Strategy & Architecture
Solution Overview
A Cloud Strategy and a Cloud Architecture are the blueprints that define your cloud transformation. Developing the right foundation is critical to the success of your transformation.
Cloud Strategy
Motivations or Drivers - a move to cloud can be driven by an event (a merger, acquisition, office or datacentre relocation) or part of a long-term strategic move
Business Outcomes or Alignment to organisational goals - identify the organisational goals that a move to cloud will support. It’s crucial to identify the business (not just technical) outcomes of your investment in cloud.
Strategic Support - strong executive support and stakeholders that extend beyond IT will contribute to the sustained success of your cloud transformation.
Score existing progress - Lets review your progress to date and see if there are any opportunity to remove blockers or identify improvements
Cloud Architecture
Architecture Framework - built upon the Azure Cloud Architecture Framework - Cost, DevOps, Resiliency, Scalability and Security.
Design Patterns - develop design patterns, leveraging common, well known patterns to solve common issues.
Architecture Styles - architecture styles that share certain characteristics, such as N-tier, or more modern styles such as micro-services, or event-driven styles.
Design Principles - leveraging the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework to develop design principles for your applications and infrastructure
