There are options beyond a straight forward lift and shift into Infrastructure as a Service. This session is about learning about how Azure helps modernize applications faster utilising modern technologies like PaaS, containers and serverless
6. Customers and
employees experience
Customers have access to more
information on you and your
competitors and expect a good
experience
Virtually anywhere, anytime
access to information
multi-device, or multi-device
and omni-channel and multi-
sense
Analytics insight
Support informed decision
making for the future
7. • Outdated hardware
• Legacy software
• Old models of doing business
• Maintenance and purchasing
• Hardware/Virtual Machine and application
management
• Operating the Datacenter
• Outsourcing
9. Past
Long application cycles
Monolithic apps
Servers and VMs
Less data
Desktop
Distinct infrastructure and operations teams
Today
Rapid innovation
Loosely-coupled apps, microservices, and containers
Serverless
Big Data
Mobile
Service-focused DevOps teams
CaaS
Container Platform
On-Premises
Infrastructure Platform
PaaS
Application Platform

“lift & shift”
24. The Absolut Company
Faster time to market
Improved website capabilities
Elimination of physical servers
Increased time for IT staff to focus
on new digital initiatives instead
“In a marketing-centric organization, you cannot
wait days for a new server. We go into the portal,
interface directly with Azure, and launch our
websites and have them running in minutes”.
Country: Sweden | Industry: Retail | Employees: 500
30. Xerox DocuShare
Onboard customers faster
Enable self-service environments
Reduce administrative overhead
No code modification required
“Thanks to Azure Kubernetes Service, we can now spin
up customer environments in 10 minutes instead of 24
hours. Moving DocuShare Flex from virtual machines to
containers in Azure allows us to provision environments
faster, empowering our sales and partner network”.
Country: United States | Industry: Manufacturing | Employees: 35.300
33. Alaska Airlines
Improved performance and reliability
Savings at scale
Greater control over infrastructure
Safe and consistent deployments
“We love the pristine and predictable environments
provided by Windows Server Containers. Service
Fabric brings us a safe and consistent deployment
strategy that maximizes uptime. The marriage of the
two in Microsoft Azure gives us unlimited potential”.
Country: United States | Industry: Travel and Transportation | Employees: 21.561
36. Challenge:
Counting Fish
in Darwin Harbour Challenge: 5x more water than Sydney Harbour
Challenge: 7m tides causes low visibility
There is also a security issue…..
More coral species than the great barrier reef
Shark species that are threatened or critically
endangered
Goal: ID species accurately to manage species
and stocks in the harbour
41. Lower your TCO by moving to Azure
Azure offers many ways to save money

savings by migrating
datacenters to Azure
instead of staying
on-premises
savings by rehosting
applications on
Azure PaaS
savings by rearchitecting
applications for Azure
lower cost for Microsoft
workloads compared to AWS

Value#workloads
• Complete a cloud native
platform
• Create organization that
develops and runs the cloud
platform
• Integrate with current IT
• Bring additional workloads live
• Establish workload management
(intakes, backlog, priorities)
• Become the standard for
innovation
• Customer/ Business focus
• Continued platform
development
• Scale up to factory model
• Additional self-service functions
• Proof of value
• Launching workloads
• Playgrounds
• Cloud native service
delivery and operations
• Scale up workloads
• Development and re-use
of certified services
• Increase maturity
• Further reduction of
time to market
• Further enable
business innovation
Experiment
with Azure
• Customer invests in Azure
• Build Technical Foundation
53. Summary
1. App Modernisation is a great opportunity to ‘clean house’ - retire applications
that are no longer used or consolidate and transition functionality to off-the-
shelf solutions where possible.
2. No cloud hosting model (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) should be taken off the table too
early.
3. Move custom applications in stages:
• Move simple workloads directly to PaaS: web sites, static portals, standard
three-tier applications
• Migrate complex solutions to IaaS first and gradually modernize later to
unlock immediate benefits
• Keep legacy/undocumented code as-is and surround it with serverless
functions to add features
