Solution A multi-cloud migration strategy was executed.

  • Data Solution: Migration of application data for over 1500 applications to AWS (e.g., S3, RDS, Redshift) and Google Cloud (e.g., Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, BigQuery). This would involve data assessment, cleansing, and transformation.

  • Integration Solution: Establishing secure network connectivity (e.g., AWS Direct Connect, Google Cloud Interconnect), setting up VPCs/Vnets, and using cloud-native integration services (e.g., AWS API Gateway, Google Cloud Endpoints, Pub/Sub) or enterprise ESBs for application communication.

  • Data Science Solution (Operational & Cost Analytics): Implementing cloud monitoring tools (e.g., AWS CloudWatch, Google Cloud Monitoring) and cost management dashboards (e.g., AWS Cost Explorer, GCP Billing reports) to analyze operational performance and optimize cloud spend for the 1500+ applications.

Achievements

  • Large-Scale Cloud Migration: Successfully managed the cloud migration to AWS and Google Cloud for more than 1500 applications.

  • Increased Agility & Scalability: Leveraged cloud capabilities for faster service delivery and resource scaling.

  • Modernized IT Landscape: Moved a significant application portfolio to modern cloud platforms.

  • Potential Cost Optimization: Opportunities for optimizing infrastructure costs through cloud services.

  • Enhanced Resilience: Improved application availability and disaster recovery capabilities using cloud infrastructure.
