Cloud Infrastructure Modernization
Cloud Migration & Modernization (CMM) is the process of moving applications, data, and IT workloads to a cloud environment and then optimizing them for the cloud. This involves two key phases: migration, which is the initial transfer, and modernization, which redesigns applications to fully leverage cloud-native features like improved performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency. Usage examples include re-architecting monolithic applications into microservices or re-platforming legacy systems to be more agile.
Cloud Migration & Modernization (CMM) refers to the process of moving applications, data, and IT infrastructure from on-premises environments to the cloud, and upgrading or re-architecting them to take full advantage of cloud-native capabilities.
- Migration: The initial step of moving digital assets from on-premises systems or one cloud to another. This is often a “lift and shift” approach, moving the application with minimal changes.
- Modernization: The subsequent step that involves redesigning or re-architecting applications to take advantage of cloud capabilities. This can include:
- Refactoring: Rewriting parts of an application to use cloud-native architectures like microservices.
- Containerizing: Encapsulating applications in containers for easier deployment and scalability.
- Adopting cloud-native services: Utilizing services like cloud-native databases.
