This presentation aims to present the challenges in culture change during a transition in develop applications to the Cloud.

1. First steps in
Native Cloud Applications

2. Is your application ready to
scale out ?

3. Is this my
problem ? I think it should
be handled by
the infra guys
I will think
about that later.
Let’s focus on
my code.
Yes. The
sizing is well
cover for the
whole year

4. Resources
are Infinite
and Cheap
Infrastructure is
Immutable
Very
specialized
and Silo
Linear
Thinking
Little
Monitoring
(or none)
No
Production
Feedback

5. Change is Hard
Change is Expensive
Change is Labor intensive

6. “Any organization that designs a
system (defined broadly) will
produce a design whose
structure is a copy of the
organization’s communication
structure”Melvyn Conway
1967

7. Web Design

Knowledge &
Experience

8. No
Experience
Shared
No Cross
Knowledge

9. Cloud is a Solution?
Scale On
Demand
Improve
Time to Market
More Resilient
Systems

10. Low Productivity
High Control

"A Native Cloud Application (NCA) is a
program that is designed specifically
for a Cloud Computing Architecture."

12. "NCAs are designed to take advantage of cloud computing
frameworks, which are composed of loosely-coupled cloud
services. That means that developers must break down
tasks into a separate services that can run on several
servers in different locations. Because the infrastructure
that supports a Native Cloud App does not run locally,
NCAs must be planned with redundancy in mind so the
application can withstand equipment failure and be able to
remap IP addresses automatically should hardware fail."

14. Resources
are costly
It can
change
anytime

15. Technology Process
People
Organic
Observable
Prioritize
Fail Fast
Measurements
Cross
Functional
Group
Empowerment
Small Pieces
Standards
Open
Manageable
Elastic Circular
Automation
Utility
Focus on
Products

16. Creating
Native Cloud Applications

17. Highly
observable
Modeled around
business concepts
Culture of
Automation
Autonomous
Small and
Focused
Design for
failure
Products not
Projects

18. 1.0

19. Orchestration
(Central brain to guide and
drive the process)
Choreography
(Inform each part of the
system of its job and let it
work out the details)

20. Deploy
independently of
the rest of the
system
Faster boot
(Elasticity also faster)
Isolation quickly
(in case of failure)
