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
