If you are keeping up with the fast pace of the revolutionary IT sector, you are most likely to gain a competitive advantage in the market. Year of the pandemic has proved businesses that are more agile in nature bound to suffer less loss even in adverse conditions. The jungle law of survival of the fittest applies to our markets too. The only difference from that is changed fitness measuring criteria such as customer centricity, innovation, adaptability.

Incorporation of cloud platforms and services is one way of revamping and reviving your business. Once you have decided to move on to the cloud, the only hurdle that remains is choosing wisely the cloud service provider, the process, and the strategy for migration. Worry not; we are here to make it easy for you!

Why should you go for Microsoft Azure?

More Paas capabilities - While Azure and AWS are almost equal in SaaS, Azure has an advantage in PaaS capabilities. Azure provides environment, tools & building blocks for building and deploying cloud services. It also has dev-ops connections monitoring, managing, and fine-tuning cloud-based apps.

.Net compatible - Since .Net and Azure both are Microsoft products. Azure remains the first choice for organizations using .NET. Another value addition is azure is compatible to work with both old and new applications developed using .NET.

Security - It is to get the EU data protection authorities' approval. It is also the 1st cloud service provider compliant with the international standard for cloud privacy, ISO 27018.

Seamless hybrid solutions - It facilitates better cloud connectivity for hybrid solutions and provides a platform with easy mobility between cloud and on-premise. Hybrid apps can use resources of data centers, on-premise solutions, or those present within Azure. It provides a broader range of hybrid connections between VPNs, CDNs.

Integrated environment - Its integrated environment is best suited for developing, testing, and deploying. You can also take leverage of ready-made services, APIs for development.

Enterprise Agreement Advantage - Most of the organizations already had an agreement with Microsoft for software such as Microsoft Office. So subscribing to Azure costs 5-11% cheaper than AWS. Moreover, there is room for negotiating the price of azure for an existing customer of Microsoft.

The Process of Migration

1. Assess:

Begin with the evaluation of applications to check how they could be moved into the cloud and how it will benefit. These migration project needs to be discussed with stakeholders. This step will help you in building a layout clearly stating your goals and objectives. Key factors that determine the migration of application are

1. Networking: Check if the same performance and stability could be achieved as that of the on-premise data center. Check how DNS will be managed via Azure DNS service or Active Directory.

2. Storage: Look out for the most appropriate plans of storage required depending on the number of operations and nature of data (hot or cold).

3. Scalability: It is one of the major factors for migration of the applications to the cloud as it is easy to upscale your work using existing cloud-based tools.

4. Dependencies: Carefully evaluate applications and their dependencies. It will help you in the sequential migration of the application without interrupting the operations.

Readiness to move to the cloud could be checked either by Virtual Machine Readiness Tool or by Microsoft Assessment and Planning toolkit. These assess the current environment and provides a checklist for both physical and virtual workload migrating to Azure.

2. Migrate:

Select one of the migration strategies that you will follow. Identify tools and technology that will migrate. Start with a small POC (proof of concept) of various applications that will return high benefits or are simple to migrate. Then, proceed with complex or less profit-bearing applications.

3. Optimize:

After successful migration, keep a tab on the application and how it can be improved further. Optimize your solution to

1. Check your operational & storage costs.

2. To achieve even better performance

3. To lay a foundation for the next migration to gain new capabilities.

4. Secure and Manage:

Get acquainted with the security measures of the new cloud-based applications and test them thoroughly. Use Azure's security recommendations and tools for an extra layer of security.

Data Protection is another important factor when shifting to the cloud. Use backup, disaster recovery, and encryption mechanisms to safeguard your data. Multiple services are provided by Azure for data protection.

Monitor the performance of your application regularly. Use tools like Azure Traffic Manager or AppDynamics for real-time monitoring. Azure Log Analytics will help you to make fruitful insights from the monitoring.

Let us now go through the migration strategies we were referring to in the second step of the migration process.

Migration Strategies:

Microsoft advised four strategies for migrating an application to the cloud.

1. Rehost / Shift and Lift

This strategy talks about moving your application from an on-premise environment to the cloud without any changes. It is best used for legacy migration or applications with limited cloud skills.

Pros: Fast and easy migration, Lower risk of application breakage

Cons: Less efficient usage of cloud, difficulty to scale.

2. Refactor / Repackage

It involves moving applications with some code changes to leverage the benefit of cloud services like Azure SQL Database Managed instances and Azure Container Services. It is suitable for critical business applications where disruption in ongoing functionality is a concern but there is room for infrastructure improvement or modernization.

Pros: Fast and Easy migration, Infrastructure Improvement.

Cons: No major architectural change possible like breaking an application into microservices.

3. Rearchitect

It includes the renovation of the complete code of the application and making it compliant with a cloud-native architecture. Applications that require maximum flexibility and scalability should follow this migration strategy.

Pros: Creation resilient, easily scalable application which takes maximum benefit of the cloud.

Cons: Complex to convert code to the cloud-native form, susceptible to a service disruption in early deployment cycles.

4. Rebuild

This strategy disposes of the old code and builds everything from the scratch using Azure Platform as a Service (PaaS) capabilities. Predefined Azure functions and APIs should be used with the Azure SQL database and other Azure data services. It is best suited for less complex and less dependent applications.

Pros: Economical, no dependency on middleware, Scalable.

Cons: Same level of functionality as present in on-premise might not be available. Please check in advance which part can be successfully built or not.

With the mushrooming of new technologies and innovations, building and delivering enterprise software has also changed significantly.

In the last decade, there were dedicated servers for a particular application or a group of applications. But today, these applications are hosted on the cloud. Computational power, storage capabilities, and performance have increased many folds due to the cloud.

The global market size of cloud computing is expected to a new high of USD 832 billion in 2025 from USD 371 billion in 2020 with a 17.5% forecasted annual growth rate. SaaS (Software As a service) alone has grown from 2% of the enterprise software market in 2009 to 23% in 2020. 77% of the enterprises are on legacy or on-premise systems. Current pandemic scenarios have indicated an acceleration in the shifting of enterprise software to the cloud.

Here are 4 emerging trends that will change developing and delivering enterprise software for this decade.

Earlier, we used to depend on automation and configuration tools such as scripts and schedulers to manage and coordinate the workflow between various systems and services. These tools work in a sequential fashion that lacks real versioning and requires regular DevOps intervention to keep running.

Now, companies are building more dynamic, complex, interoperable infrastructures using the cloud. We could see the '-aaS' version of almost everything from application to database, from the platform, infrastructures to virtualization layers. Modern architecture has made it possible to connect many services seamlessly.

The laborious and time-consuming task of repetition is replaced by programmatic workflows where even infrastructures are written as code and owned by developers. These methodologies would free up essential human resources and would help in reassign them to other tasks.

New open-source projects are coming on the frontline with new ways of building, managing and operating every layer required in software development. HashiCorp and BridgeCrew are two companies aiming to provide tools to secure, run, and connect cloud-computing infrastructure.

DevOps has been a transformational approach to old conventional waterfall builds, working in silos. It has led to innovations with faster, more scalable software delivery.

The main idea behind DevOps was to bring developers and operations together. So that any changes made in infrastructure were released as code and could be used by any developer. But this approach has turned into a role now known as DevOps engineer. They are majorly accountable for continuous running of the infrastructure, setting up new clusters, environments, or pipelines. Making new infrastructure means an increase in the number of DevOps engineers. It is a widening division between developers and operations.

This is about to change. The DevOps will be a way of bringing building and delivering the software together. Just like the QA role is accommodated by the developers as functional. The same will happen with DevOps. In a budget and resource-constrained organization, everyone will be responsible for developing, pushing code, and creating robust software. The definition of these roles will be redefined.

As a result, only developers will be found. There will be

1. Application developers: One who is responsible for building and monitoring applications and new services.

2. Infrastructure developers: One who will deploy and monitor new infrastructure.

3. Data developers: One who will create and monitor data flows.

It will allow developers to leverage infrastructure as code and manage operations as its features. DevOps will be established by an infrastructure engineer who will build infrastructure through code.

One of the major challenges enterprises face is services on public clouds are multitenant in nature. It means only one instance runs on a server and serves multiple tenants. With ever-increasing data, it aggravates the problems of data leakage and security concerns. So enterprises are moving towards hybrid clouds.

Virtual private cloud (VPC) has risen as an alternative to meeting data security and performance issue any enterprise faces. Virtual private cloud is a private cloud hosted within a public cloud. In this way, the enterprise can take advantage of both public cloud benefits of on-demand infrastructure, reduced operational costs, and of private cloud maintaining data, resources, and network isolation.

VPC comes with its own sets of disadvantages. They don't offer all the features or capabilities of a regular cloud. Since it has an isolated instance and base, monitoring and uptime of different instances are not the same that often leads to slower resolution times.

Cloud service providers are providing VPC-as-a-Service. Enterprise can take advantage of both public and private cloud. These services offer network isolation, access management, customized SSO/SAML, and encryption. They are reliable, scalable, and ultra-secure. MongoDB's Atlas has laid the foundation stone of enterprise-friendly reference architecture.

In the past 10 years, we have seen a reinvention of data, runtime, middleware, OS, and virtualization layers. Open-source companies have catalyzed new methods and approaches. MongoDB, HashiCorp, Puppet Labs, and Cockroach Labs are some of the open-source communities.

As the cloud evolves, so do the reference architectures. In the coming time, we will see a new wave of migration of legacy and on-premise systems that are less scalable, robust in nature.

These migrations will keep a sharp eye on the infrastructure, storage, data flow, and network with IaaS and Paas. These services are likely to reinvent Oracle, SAS, SAP & IBM. IaaS & PaaS will become the fastest-growing component of the cloud.

Enterprise will mix and match between the services, lowering the cost of ownership. These services are environment-adaptable and are written as code. Open Source projects will empower the infrastructure for the next generation of enterprise software.

In A Nutshell

Open Source Companies like MongoDB, Hashicorp are just scratching the surface of these emerging trends. As the globally giant companies began to increase spending on the cloud, a new generation of companies that modernize the way software is delivered will emerge. Programmatic infrastructures will replace a complex multi and hybrid cloud. These infrastructures are built by developers rather than DevOps engineers. Such architecture won't require manual correction and constant operator intervention.

Welcomes these trends and adapt to them to grow more.
Now it is not about delivering software anymore, it is about delighting customers.
