Public Today’s Agenda 3 2 Who is this guy? Introduction 1 Once upon a time ... and it‘s still What happened before the cloud? Omg, what do we need to do? Why do we need to migrate to the Cloud? Conclusion 5 The Pain Points Of course we didn‘t avoid making embarrassing mistakes ;) 4 Q&A 6

Public Evolved to platform product Container, K8s Automation Framework Web components Started > 25 years ago Python support REST interface 2014 New Generation (unmanaged legacy (C++) and managed (C#) code). Windows® application (component & full integration in internal products) 2018 ~ 8200 files ~ 2,9 Mio LOC Linux components (data, Python) 2022 ... “A legacy system is outdated computing software and/or hardware that is still in use. ” ~ 800 customers ~ 23000 users The application to migrate in the cloud: AVL CONCERTO
Public An evolution happens – why even more automation? 2021 .. ~ 30 years Huge testbed for single unit under test (UUT) 1 Operator per testbed Very high costs Exchanging of unit is labour-intesive One testing unit for multiple UUTs (Battery Cells) 1 Operator for whole lab Costs per UUT are much lower UUT exchange works automated 2021 ..
Public Cloud Migration Strategy Decide for a strategy before starting the implementation Lift & Shift (Rehost) Whole application is taken and pushed into container not possible / would cause to much costs Refactoring Rebuild
Public Lift and shift to container using Azure Kubernetes Service Source: https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/azure/architecture/solution-ideas/articles/migrate-existing-applications-with-aks “Easily migrate existing application to container(s) and run within the Azure managed Kubernetes service (AKS)”
Public The goal of the first implementation Azure Container Registry Azure Kubernetes Service Azure Virtual Machine Azure File Share Container running Concerto 1 2 3 4
Public The faults 1. ACR not properly attached with AKS 2. Missing statements in Workload 3. Wrong Firewall Settings nodeSelector: kubernetes.io/os: windows tolerations: - key: "kubernetes.io/os" operator: "Equal" value: "windows" effect: "NoSchedule" restartPolicy: Never backoffLimit: 4
Public Automated Resource Provisioning in Azure with ADO Pipelines and Terraform Terraform Configurations State Files .tf .tfstate Azure Subscription ADO Pipeline
Public Conclusion Decide for a Cloud Migration Strategy Avoid to start with a too complex implementation – start lightweight Don‘t do manual provisioning – use Infrastructure as Code approach Be aware of the costs, monitor them
