scale with our traffic patterns and
heal themselves when an issue is
found
• Reduce after hour support calls by
83%
• Improve server side response time
for desktop – 54% faster
• Improve server side response time
for mobile web services – 55%
faster
• Most importantly … a happier
DevOps team!

24. Application runs flight paths against
large volumes of meteorological and
historical data, The demand of
compute power is absolutely
massive.
Running the route optimisation
exercise for a single aircraft for five
years would typically have taken
Qantas four weeks on its own
hardware.
A task completed in an hour that
once took four weeks proved that the
cloud offered features of
“significant and material
commercial benefit” to Qantas over
the full lifecycle of an application.

53. AWS SEMINAR SERIES 2015
IAIN ROUSE
GROUP DIRECTOR – CLOUD
TECHNOLOGY ONE
54. About TechnologyOne
Largest publicly listed software company in Australia
We develop, implement and sell enterprise software in 7 key
vertical markets
Continuously profitable for 23 years
1,100 people in 14 offices around the world
R&D team of 350 people, right here in Brisbane
56. Five stories
1. Moving our business to the cloud
• Spotlight on R&D
2. Like tags, hate host names
3. Financial control
4. Break things
5. Smell the roses
57. Story One – To the Cloud
BC (Before Cloud)
1,400 virtual machines
200 VMs with no identified (remembered) use
Custom built data centre
Disaster recovery linked via dark fibre - on 24/7
Hundreds of build servers that were 80% idle on average
Today
100 instances scaling to 800 each day
Time of day, day of week processing
Just plain Internet
58. Story Two – Love Tags, Hate Host Names
Hate host names
Remember the IAIN_SQL server
It was on 24/7
No one knew what it did, except Iain
He loved his server very much
Love tags
They force an understanding of usage
They force change by challenging the status quo
They can bring internal teams together
You can use them to automate in a simple manner
59. Story Two – Love Tags, Hate Host Names
For the love of tags
60. Story Three – Financial Control
Demonstrate control from day 1
Start with open source tools
Consider your paid options second
Be ready for the consumption argument
How big is your cloud?
Low unit costs means high transaction volume
10M transactions lines per month on average (2014)
Get ahead of the questions, know the data
61. Story Four – Reserved Instances
Why?
You will save an enormous amount
What we have learnt
Identify and separate your workloads
Select RI’s that match these workloads
Use them like data centre capacity
Adding RI’s is like adding a rack
Link them to a calendar cycle, at worst monthly, at best quarterly
62. Story Five – Smell the Roses
A retrospective every quarter
You will take a lot for granted
Adding capacity
Updating networks
Upgrading links
For example
Infrastructure in Oregon, Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore, Dublin
Changes that would have taken days, now take hours
65. CALL TO ACTION
