Survey and Analysis: Application Deployment Architecture

Survey and Analysis: Application Deployment Architecture

In the pilot or large-scale migration stage, a survey for an enterprise's application deployment architecture is conducted
to prepare for application resource deployment on a target cloud. The survey covers the access, application,
middleware, and data layers of a single application, including how the four layers are deployed as well as details, such
as specifications, versions, capacities, and configurations, about components used at each layer.

An Enterprise's Application Deployment Architecture (Example) Source Host Information

• Basic information: specifications, IP address, disks,
bandwidth, and OS
User Access Web Cache/ Big Data • Load: average disk, CPU, and memory usage
Databases File Server Search
System Layer Applications Middleware System • Service deployment: deployment mode (cluster or
standalone) and service/hardware dependency

Storage Information
Message MySQL • Data type and volume
Client Nginx • Numbers of small files and large files, respectively
queues Hadoop
cluster
Network and Other Application Information
Elasticsearch • Requirements for the network architecture, high
Cache Network availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), and deployment
Application MongoDB File • Big data applications and middleware
services • Security configuration and CDN applications
System
(NFS)
Database Information
• OS, database engine, and software versions
• Total, used, and remaining database space
• Application, IP address, host name, instance name, and
physical file location

Key Migration Risks and Countermeasures
Risk Point Countermeasures
IP address • Keep internal IP addresses unchanged during the migration.
changes • Adjust Internet IP addresses. To ensure normal service access, register Internet IP addresses 40 days before the migration.

• Set the migration bandwidth based on site requirements to reduce the impact on resources in the source environment.
• Migrate services during off-peak hours.
Service • Keep the services running on source servers during data migration until the last incremental migration and service switchover are
interruptions complete.
• Ensure that both the source and destination platforms are running in active/standby mode.
• Ensure that each operation can be rolled back.

• Build a dedicated network to greatly improve network stability and accelerate migration.
Network instability • Migrate source VMs by importing images to reduce the dependency on the network, and manually synchronize incremental data.

• Apply for the migration time window and cooperate with the platform to release a notice.
• Back up the source data before migration (the customer).
Data inconsistency • Perform a full synchronization. Then, perform incremental synchronizations for multiple times to keep data consistent. Stop writing
data on source servers and perform an incremental synchronization for the last time.

• Perform sufficient performance tests before migration and optimize application and infrastructure configurations.
Service • Optimize applications running in the cloud to improve performance and response speed.
• Migrate applications in batches. Migrate a small number of key applications and data, test and verify the migration, and then
performance perform the next migration wave.
deterioration • Establish a comprehensive monitoring and troubleshooting mechanism to detect and resolve system instability. Ensure system
reliability and performance.

Migration Solution Design

• When there are multiple application systems, you need to know their associations and how they communicate with each other.
• Based on network requirements, match service components divided from application systems with cloud service products of Huawei
Cloud Stack and the designed cloud architecture.
• Choose migration approaches based on technical components and scenario requirements.
• Combine full migration with incremental migration to minimize downtime.
