Everything I Know About the Cloud, I Learned from Game of Thrones
summary
Advice for moving to IaaS: start with a PoC and migrate noncritical apps first, don’t forklift legacy systems. Use automation — create images with Puppet rather than converting VM formats — and plan monitoring, quotas and chaos testing (pets versus cattle, Netflix Chaos Monkey). Expect to incur technical debt, budget for it, and don’t count on cost savings; done right one admin can manage what used to take ten.
