So2020urce: BBC
A hundred years ago, the average lifespan of a
company listed on the S&P 500 index was 67 years
75% of the S&P 500 will be
new (not on the index today)
25% of the S&P 500 will
be ones on the index today

The agreed-upon actions became (2013):
15
Redeploy as-is to cloud
• Reduce Capex
• Free up datacenter space
• Quick cloud ROI
IaaS
Minimally alter to take better
advantage of cloud
• Faster, shorter, updates
• Code portability
• Greater cloud efficiency
(resources, speed, cost)
Containers
PaaS
Materially alter/decompose
application to services
• App scale and agility
• Easier adoption of new cloud
capabilities
• Mix technology stacks
PaaS
Serverless
Microservices
New code written with cloud
native approach
• Accelerate innovation
• Build apps faster
• Reduce operational cost
