Abstract: Cloud adoption is growing at a 22% annual rate. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application revenue will reach $258 billion in 2020 (Forrester Research). This train is unstoppable. The economic and systems benefits are compelling and being leveraged by media companies worldwide. What does facility migration to the cloud involve? What low-hanging fruit can we migrate now? What are the tradeoffs? This paper is a short tutorial on cloud basics with tips on migration. Aspects of architecture, application delivery, economics, open systems, and operations are considered.
