The cloud providers also have different reference architectures for certain compliance standards as well, such as with PCI-DSS and such which can also be used as a baseline. Once that main material is in place you need to build a foundation which typically consists of network design including security and governance mechanisms, including other monitoring services to ensure that we can properly monitor the availability of services on public cloud.īefore we start to build services or migrating workloads we should always have a foundation in place, here we recommend looking at what the cloud providers already offer of predefined templates, as with Microsoft and enterprise-scale architecture here → Cloud Adoption Framework enterprise-scale landing zone architecture – Cloud Adoption Framework | Microsoft Docs The journey needs to be split into different workflows to first give the organization insight into the provider(s) then into an assessment to ensure compatibility of application and services and once that is complete look into what kind of tooling and expertise needed to run services in the cloud. However, the move to a cloud platform is moving to an entirely new ecosystem which requires understanding, expertise, tooling and ensuring that existing services can properly run in the new ecosystem or if it requires changes. Since the pandemic started, many organizations have accelerated their cloud journey to take advantage of the properties and innovation the cloud provides. The different building blocks of the journey That latency increase will affect the end-user performance, and secondly VDI workloads should always be placed together with the data to ensure that when moving or building these new services that they are grouped together. Moving to Cloud might mean moving heavy services and business critical applications to a datacenter which might be a lot further away than it is today.

One of the first things that we should always consider is understanding the destination. Moving a VDI service to Public Cloud is not a simple task, and also with new services such as WVD from Microsoft, which one should you choose for your organization when starting your cloud journey? In this blog post I will try and write a summary of the various stages that should be part of the journey and also some of the pitfalls that you can encounter when moving your VDI workload to Public Cloud. Article originally posted by Citrix CTP, Marius SandbuĪ couple of weeks ago, I had a webinar together with Goliath Technologies about what we need to consider before moving your VDI workloads to Public Cloud.
