Book Description
Organizations have varying circumstances, objectives, and prerequisites when contemplating a hyper-scale cloud solution transformation such as Azure. Modernizing Legacy Applications to Microsoft Azure uncovers potential scenarios and provides choices, methodologies, techniques, and prospective possibilities for transitioning from legacy applications to the Microsoft Azure environment. You'll start by understanding the legacy systems and the main concerns leading to migration. Next, you'll investigate why distributed architectures are compelling and the various components of the Azure platform needed during migration. Next, you'll explore the approaches to modernizing legacy applications and the Rs of modernizing (i.e. rehost, refactor, rearchitect, and retire). You'll also learn about integration approaches and potential pitfalls. By the end of this book, you'll be well-equipped to modernize your legacy workloads while keeping a check for pitfalls and best strategies.What you will learn
- Understand your current legacy estate's options before moving to Azure
- Move to a cloud environment from the legacy applications
- Build equivalent or superior application SLAs in Azure
- Use interoperability to enable a phased approach
- Integrate DevOps to help accelerate modernization
- Extend application functionality after the migration
