DescriptionWhen Scott Chapman joined Enterprise Performance Strategies in 2014, he had over 20 years of IT experience in a z/OS environment. Having never touched “the cloud”, he suddenly found himself running and managing an environment built in AWS. Over the past 12 years as both EPS and the AWS offering catalog have grown, Scott has learned much about AWS and formed some opinions that might be of interest to those who have a mandate for migrating all or part of their mainframe workload to the cloud. Spoiler alert: not all the grass is greener on the other side of the fence!
In this session you’ll get a brief but useful introduction to some AWS terms and services which will give you a basis for understanding what those cloud people are talking about. And you may be surprised to hear what Scott misses most from the z/OS mainframe environment.
