Business
agility
Operational
resilience
What is it?
Launch of new products
75% faster (Unilever)
Critical workloads run in
multiple availability zones
and regions for robust DR
(Expedia)
50%+ reduction in TCO
(GE)
More than 500 hours per
year of server configuration
time saved (Sage)
AWS customer
success
Infrastructure cost savings/
avoidance from moving to
the cloud
Efficiency improvement by
function on a task by task
basis
Benefit of improving SLAs and
reducing unplanned outage
Deploying new features/
applications faster and reducing
errors
Example Data center consolidation Large-scale, compute-
intensive workloads
Improved agility and
developer productivity to
drive innovation and digital
transformation
IT process efficiencies
Initial
focus
Most compelling
cloud benefits

What direction should customers go?
Answer: “It depends”

Rehosting options for Windows workloads
Right size on AWS VMs
Virtual machines
Pros:
• Usually the fastest
migration strategy
• No architectural
modifications
Cons:
• Miss most “cloudy” benefits
of target platform—both
technical and financial

Why AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM)?
It’s cheaper…

Why AWS SAM? It’s cheaper…

AWS customers are pioneering modern applications
reduced overall compute costs by 95%
releases more than 50+ deployments per hour
created a stock trade validation system in three months
cut processing time from 36 hours to 10 seconds

Other trends in application modernization
• CI/CD pipeline improvements: increase agility, stability, and security
• Building artificial intelligence into your applications is a huge trend
(improve end-user experience)
• Integrating monitoring into your applications to respond to issues faster
(for example CloudWatch and application insights)
