Cloud-Centric Design: Five Keys to Designing Successful Enterprise Cloud Applications

Many companies are attempting to bring their current enterprise workloads to a cloud-based system or infrastructure. Cloud-based systems can offer signicant benets when an application is designed to scale out, or when resource requirements are not constant. Applications that are not designed to function in a cloud environment from the start are typically unable to take full advantage of the benets a cloud model can offer.

To make the most of the promise of cloud-based systems, applications must be designed to maximize the advantages and minimize the challenges of a cloud model. This paper will cover ve core principles to consider when designing cloud- optimized applications.
