To give the clearest sense of how our project aligned with Stephen’s seven best practices, I present our experience in the same format. The project would be completed in no more than 12 weeks with less than 50 percent allocation of the team time. The core idea here is that, while the web property will one day be retired, the management platform will scale as needed and will automate the infrastructure builds for a limitless number of sites. Working with Control Group, an AWS partner, we devised a plan that not only delivered the necessary infrastructure for a web property but also a configuration management platform, which would accelerate future projects. ![]() Our Journey had humble beginnings and the resulting success has been extraordinary the use of AWS by our world-class development, product, project and DevOps teams won us the honor of being named the winner of the 2016 AWS City on a Cloud Innovation Challenge in the Best Practice category. ![]() We realized quickly that the cloud, and specifically AWS, accelerated project completion times through increased automation, reduced costs with right-sizing, provided redundancies, and enabled seamless scaling capabilities that would otherwise be cost prohibitive. Our Journey started with the simple idea of building a configuration management platform in the cloud to prove the redesign of our primary website and the release of our famed Digital Collections site would benefit tremendously from it. In absence of this, start somewhere, no matter how small. Significant top-down support with overwhelmingly strong vision and “air cover” along with financial backing are any technologists’ dream come true, but we know that doesn’t always happen. A large team or a big project is not necessary to start the enterprise cloud Journey, you can start with a small, focused effort, geared at establishing your practice and poising it to scale. The New York Public Library’s Journey speaks directly to the concept of scale. – Stephen asked me to write about my experience with incubating a cloud center of excellence, I revisited his “ 7 Best Practices for Your Enterprise’s Journey to the Cloud” post and found that my company’s experience aligns with these practices. If you have a story you’d like to share, let’s talk about posting on my blog!) (Stories like this one that are based on real experience tend to be the most valuable, and I’d love to host more of these kinds of posts. Thank you Jay and I’m looking forward to seeing you and the NYPL continue to transform the way you deliver technology for your customers! It turns out that I wasn’t alone, and today Jay and his team were named the winners of the 2016 AWS City on a Cloud Innovation Challenge. A few weeks ago, I was delighted to see Jay comment on one of my posts, and after hearing a bit more about how his Journey at NYPL had progressed, I thought his perspective on best practice would benefit the broader market. I was on a similar Journey at Dow Jones, and we had the opportunity to share our stories. I had the pleasure meeting Jay Haque a few years ago when he started leading the New York Public Library’s (NYPL) cloud Journey.
