Application Modernization

Application modernization is the process of updating an organization’s existing apps to a cloud-first model—sometimes called legacy
modernization.

Application Modernization Patterns

Patterns for modernizing applications include:

Lift and shift

Sometimes called rehosting, the phrase “lift and shift” has become software development lingo for taking an existing application and moving it from a legacy environment (such as an on-premises server) to newer infrastructure, such as a public cloud platform.

Replatforming

This pattern can be viewed as a middle ground or compromise between the lift-and-shift and refactoring approaches. It does not require major changes in code or architecture, as with refactoring, but entails complementary updates that enable the legacy app to take advantage of a modern cloud platform, such as modifying or replacing the application’s backend database.

Refactoring

Refactoring is essentially another way of saying “rewriting” or “restructuring.” This approach to application modernization entails taking a legacy application and retooling significant chunks of its underlying code to better run in a new environment, usually cloud infrastructure.

Recommended Solution:

Kubernetes

Kubernetes, often abbreviated as “K8s”, orchestrates containerized applications to run on a cluster of hosts.The K8s system automates the deployment and management of cloud native applications using on-premises infrastructure or public cloud platforms.

Application Security

Application security include hardware, software, and procedures that identify or minimize security vulnerabilities.

Cloud Migration

Cloud Migration is the transfer of the IT resources of a business or other complex organization from private servers and inhouse data center facilities to public cloud architecture.

Application Migration

Application migration is the process of moving software applications from one computing environment to another. This can include migrating applications from one data center to another, such as from a public to a private cloud, or from a company’s on-premises server to a cloud provider’s environment.
