The cloud is transforming the way businesses deploy and manage applications. Organizations are increasingly deploying and migrating applications to public and private clouds primarily to drive agility, operational efficiency and cost savings.
While we all recognize the benefits of Cloud, the fact is that there are significant differences between how an application runs in a public IaaS provider data center designed for multiple tenants and how it runs in your private enterprise datacenter.
Whether applications are revenue generating or critical business apps, they must ensure the same great user experience, including across associated availability, performance, and security services. However, there are challenges that need to be addressed, including determining which workloads are suitable for the cloud due to the inherent design of cloud data centers, the application delivery and security capabilities of each cloud provider, and the overall lack of visibility and control.
Attend F5 Networks presentation session to learn how App-Centric Strategy provides the critical services to make your business applications GO SMARTER. FASTER. SAFER whether you’re planning to architect a public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, deploy or re-architect your apps, or migrate to SaaS.

Shared Security Responsibilities
While AWS manages security of the cloud, security in the cloud is the responsibility of the customer. Customers retain control of what security
they choose to implement to protect their own content, platform, applications, systems and networks, no differently than they would for
applications in an on-site datacenter.

16. Development in the public cloud improved their Time-to-
Market
• Needed to ensure they fully manage the user
access to critical development environment –
instead of having developers physically coming
down to customer’s premise
• Simplify security management for third-party
access—Secured SSL VPN
• Skills retention
• F5 stringent endpoint checking control
• Eased operations for policy management
