OpenShift Commons Briefing Summary
In this briefing, Red Hat's Zohaib Khan (@zeebluejay), Practice Lead and Manager PaaS Community of Practice at Red Hat discusses a structured approach modernizing your portfolio of applications and how to jumpstart your application development migration to cloud native.
In this session, we covered the 3 main patterns from modernizing your portfolio of applications: Lift and Shift, Augmentation and Complete Rewrites.
- Lift and Shift:
- Containerize existing components
- Deploy them on a PaaS
- Keep external integrations and data on legacy
- Legacy applications have to be well written and suited
- Augmenting with New Layers
- Legacy remains intact
- New layer enables new capabilities
- Deploy on PaaS
- New integration points between legacy and new layers
- Complete ReWrites where:
- Legacy is totally replaced
- New interfaces and data
- Use PaaS to run
- Some data and features can be re-wrapped, but mostly are retired.
If your development team is looking to jumpstart move to the cloud, this briefing will give you a lot of helpful insights into how to make the move. Zohaib shared a number of real world case studies and armed the audience with all the tools for making the case to management for making the move to cloud native as well.
