## Cloud Migration Checklist
- [betterprogramming.pub: A Cloud Migration Questionnaire for Solution Architects ๐๐](https://betterprogramming.pub/a-cloud-migration-questionnaire-for-solution-architects-dec7ffcf063e) The questions you must ask your customers before migrating their on-premise workload to AWS Cloud:
- Why do you want to migrate to the cloud?
- How many code changes can you afford as part of migration?
- What type of database are you using?
- What type of load balancers are you using?
- What application servers and versions are you using?
- What operating system are you using?
- Is your application public facing?
- Is your application stateful or stateless?
- Is your application containerized?
- What are the current resource requirements of the servers?
- How is your workload variation?
- What are your logging and monitoring requirements?
- What is your current backup strategy?

## From SysAdmin to Architect
- [redhat.com: 5 strategies to shift your career from sysadmin to architect](https://www.redhat.com/architect/from-sysadmin-to-architect) Many engineers make the shift from hands-on-keyboard system administration to building architectures as an architect. Here are five ways they make the shift.
## Raft Consensus Algorithm
- [The Raft Consensus Algorithm ๐](https://raft.github.io/) [etcd](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd) is a โdistributed reliable key-value store for the most critical data of a distributed systemโ. It uses the Raft consensus algorithm which was designed to be easy to understand, to scale, and to operate. The protocol and the etcd implementation were very quickly adopted by large distributed systems like Kubernetes, large distributed databases or messaging frameworks, where consensus and strong consistency is a must.
## PaaS
- [What is Platform as a Service Software?](https://www.trustradius.com/platform-as-a-service-paas)
## Micro Frontends
- [dzone: Micro Frontends With Example ๐](https://dzone.com/articles/micro-frontends-by-example-8) Monolithic frontends are difficult to maintain, develop, test, and deploy. The solution is micro frontends. It is a type of architecture that can increase effectiveness and efficiency across teams.

## Monolith to Microservices Using the Strangler Pattern
- [dzone: Monolith to Microservices Using the Strangler Pattern ๐](https://dzone.com/articles/monolith-to-microservices-using-the-strangler-patt) The Strangler Pattern is a popular design pattern to incrementally transform your monolithic application into microservices by replacing a particular functionality with a new service. Once the new functionality is ready, the old component is strangled, the new service is put into use, and the old component is decommissioned altogether.

Questions to quickly spot red flags of a software project:
- how long does the CI pipeline take? - how long is the onboarding process? - how short are the working cycles? - what type of tests are integrated in the QA? - is there any micromanagement?
Everyone sensible in IT has been saying for years that if you buy COTS (commercial off-the-shelf software packages) you shouldnโt customize it - itโs wildly expensive and you end up with something hard to maintain and almost impossible to upgrade.
COTS is for business processes that arenโt strategic to your org. So you should MODIFY YOUR BUSINESS PROCESS TO FIT WHAT THE SOFTWARE DOES OUT OF THE BOX! Sorry for shouting, Iโm old.
