Idea
Why Cloud? Why AWS? How many do
we migrate?
Evolution – physical -> virtual -> cloud
Not only infrastructure playInitial – Global Support; Cloud maturity;
Market leader; Complete ecosystem.
Later – Technology innovation; Pre-
Sales and After-Sales Support
POC & Non live environments only?
Not mission critical only?
Hybrid – New vs Legacy? Or All in?
Hardware infrastructure savings
only?
Opportunity Cost is high
Start of the Cloud Journey
What is the ROI?

cycle – one-click deployment
* Explore and POC Serverless computing direction (true form of cloud computing)
Phase 2 –Security & Automation & Serverless
* New enterprise Data Platform – Data Lake, Data Warehouse, and Big Data
Platforms to support Advanced Analytics
* New Advanced Analytics and AI systems – Machine Learning (Lead Score,
Retention, Learning Behavior and Results – Personalized Learning) and AI
(Chatbot and AR)
Phase 3 – BI & AI
Phase 1 – DC to Cloud Migration
Whole vision of the Journey
Serverless is the true form of Cloud.

are running on AWS Cloud.
Phase 1 – 2017/03, 70% of Boston DC migrated to AWS Singapore
Phase 2 – 2017/06, 100% of Boston DC migrated to AWS Singapore
Phase 3 – 2017/08, MPLS connection established between AWS Beijing and Singapore
Phase 4 – 2017/10, 100% of China DC migrated to AWS Beijing
Strategy and Decision – 2016 Aug, Move all products to AWS Cloud
Cloud Migration - Roadmap

Migration
New Mindset /
Think Differently
* A means to an end
* To the new cloud world
Explore AWS Cloud World
* Capacity Planning
• Old way - Plan for the max (just add)
• New way - Plan for min (+ resource/cost optimization)
• New new way – No need to do capacity planning? Serverless
* Design & Architecture
• EMR – Allows us to separate data layer from the compute layer – can
add more data without adding more nodes – can bring up and down
compute clusters anytime
• HDFS vs EMRFS / S3

expanded the number of
schools from 200 to 300.
AWS infrastructure supports
this rapid growth flexibly.
轻松运维,团队提升
Our operational pressure is
greatly reduced,DevOps!!!
And our team expands and
improves technical ability
constantly.
客户体验,业务创新

customers. We can leverage
more AWS technologies to
help us to build our systems
faster and innovatively.
突破边界,始终前行
Allowing us to easily tap into
the leading edge technology
in the cloud such as
AI, machine learning, Big
Data...without any
infrastructure investment,
AWS cloud has all the
technologies and services
that we need.
