MoveBeyond - SmartDrive Use Case

The SmartDrive project

Drivers that opt into the Smart Drive app will be evaluated and scored based upon driving behaviors. In an effort to improve road safety, favorable drivers will be rewarded with discounted premiums through Fidelidade Car Insurance and toll credits through Via Verde.

Slide /

Performance

Build for the most demanding scenarios and capable of processing a large number of transactions per seconds.

Scalability

Ability to increase workload size within existing infrastructure (hardware, software, etc.) without impacting performance.

Elasticity

Ability to grow or shrink infrastructure resources dynamically as needed to adapt to workload changes in an autonomic manner, maximizing the use of resources.

Availability

Provides redundancy and fault tolerance. Ensure that the service is always available even in the event of a failure of individual component.

11

A-to-Be Cloud Journey –Our Platform design goals

Define your platform design goals (1/3)


Slide /

Reusability

Maximize the reuse of existing data and services making an easier and faster system integration.

Adaptability

Swiftly adapt to requirement changes or customer choices through product configuration.

Security

Ensure security measures are in place throughout the systems, including data encryption, identity, and access control, monitored connections, and automatic notification of suspicious activity.

Resilience

Ability to adapt to failures and to resume normal operations when the failure has been resolved.

12




Slide /

Auditability

Maintain an audit trail of all actions performed by the application or by system users.

Analytics

Provide dashboards with real-time statistics, performance and monitoring KPIs.

Visibility

Facilitate the tracking of data across all processes, trends, and user activities.

Accuracy

Guarantee system consistency trough robust validation mechanisms assuring that no data is loss or duplicated.

Economics

Minimize cost and effort to integrate new custom gateways and services.13

A-to-Be Cloud Journey –Transform your application stack

Rethink your application stack (1/2)

From Monolithic to a Microservices Approach

Scaling microservices

Horizontally scale up or down in seconds and in an auto-scaling manner

Independently

Deploy and test a new service release without impacting other services (teams)

Fit with agile development environments

Self-organized and autonomous groups

Decoupled & asynchronous

Each service processes each event as soon as possible without locking resources or active waits


Slide / 15

A-to-Be Cloud Journey –Transform your application stack

Rethink your application stack (2/2)

Streaming and Event Driven oriented

Scale and Sizing independently

Ability to have more resources and more processors allocated to the services that need them the most

“Reactive” Systems

Services in non-active-wait waiting for work

System stress management and resilience

Services are independent and each one consumes events using the maximum resources available for each service

Multiple processors for multiple purposes

For example: one consumer to send the event to Search, other to Fraud Management, other to logging, other to Reporting Stage area

Cost effectiveness


Slide / 21



Benefits

Elasticity

Be able to adapt to workload changes by provisioning and de-provisioning resources in an autonomic manner

Security

Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) and EBS encryption with EC2

Secured communication between microservices

Standard compliance out-of-the-box by inheritance (PCI DSS, SOC 1-3, ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO27017, ISO27018, NIST, CSA,…)

AWS WAF in the cloud with Jira, out-of-the-box , secured front-end and traffic management securitization


Slide / 22



Challenges

Market & cultural barrier

Infrastructure/Technology strategy and roadmap prioritization

In-house cloud knowledge and expertise to tackle so many sub streams

Cloud waste, invest on a correct cloud cost management

Legacy systems, change from Monolithic to a Microservices architecture
