Operational considerations
Network access Instance types, AMI, Oracle DB and Applications tier
Storage
Security and controls Housekeeping functions Cloning, patching needs for
custom application Backups, monitoring configurations
Migration approach to AWS
Network accessAmazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Multi-AZ configuration for HA Isolated subnets for various tiers Security groups, ACL for data firewalls Trend Micro security services IPSEC tunnels via Amazon VPC
– Cisco CSR for B2B interactions– Advanced logging and monitoring– HA config across multi-AZ– Agility to meet Soc1 controls
Internet
Instance types and AMIs
High memory instances for databases Oracle maps to AWS cores for licensing options Oracle Linux versus Red Hat Linux
– Apply prerequisite rpms, kernel updates– Create custom AMI for templatized deployments
Similar approach for Windows OS
Database and application tiers
Templatized versions of OS is best practice– Coupled with release management cycles
Single Database tier (non-RAC)– Consolidated into fewer VMs
Applications tier Leveraged Amazon Elastic Load Balancer
SoftNAS solution for file systems HA configuration across multi-AZ Core solution for various file operations Facilitate extensive batch operations
S3 to replace legacy document management system
Elastic Load Balancer
Auto Scaling
Storage consideration Databases and File server was key consideration for our solution Apps Associates expertise in running complex databases on AWS was key
Performance with SSD and PIOPS Leverage Oracle ASM feature Cost optimization with right mix of AWS storage options Backup and restore processes to meet SLA to our customers
Blend of off the shelf tool (N2W) and custom developed scripts DR solution with storage based replication across multi-AZ
File system on SoftNAS backed by Amazon EBS storage Windows and Linux systems HA configuration across multi-AZ
Housekeeping functions
Cloning environments to support testing and development
Developed a process for automated refresh of test environment with ‘cleansed’ production data
Monitoring Easy to extend corporate
monitoring platform to AWS Oracle Enterprise Manager for
database operations
Post-AWS observations
Lower infrastructure costs Costs easily tracked and managed Uptime equivalent to private third-party data center Reconsidered disaster recovery needs
and capabilities Leveraging AppsLens

Future plans relative to AWS
Implement DevOps / DevSecOps practices to optimize application deployment efficiency
Evaluate Amazon Redshift and related solutions for modernizing BI
Amazon RDS for managed databases Further Application modernization to leverage AWS platform
