Virtual Machines and Monoliths can be valid. It is untrue that every application must be decomposed into microservices, and containers. Decomposed microservices architectures are difficult to build and operate, leading to higher costs. Not all
Monolithic applications may need to be decomposed in service-oriented components, to run and scale in lightweight containers. Similarly, monolithic Data architectures may need to be rebuilt into service-oriented Data flows and processes. This can transform
Containers and Virtual Machines both have a role within the modern Cloud architecture. Both possess some advantages and disadvantages. The graphics below summarises the key differences: Main use case for Cloud Containerisation is application
PDF Presentation at the bottom of the page. Overview of migrating, refactoring and Containerising Applications in the Financial Industry, given different workstreams, workload and target model requirements. VMs, Containers, Cloud Native, will all play a
Every modernized data-centre or cloud will provide, at a minimum, the basic VM infrastructure, storage, and network services. When you transform mission-critical applications for use in the cloud, your applications can avail themselves of the
Operational Issues when moving to the Cloud There are many application ‘modernization’ strategies and you can pick what you believe are the best methods to modernize your applications. However, we must also consider operational
Assessing Applications for the Cloud Every modernized datacenter or cloud will provide, at a minimum, the basic VM infrastructure, storage, and network services. When you transform mission-critical applications for use in the cloud, your
There are numerous characteristics that an application should have when transitioning to a cloud infrastructure. Key characteristics of cloud-enabled (cloud-native) applications include the following: Secure multitenancy This means that the application is
Application development is now focused on rapid and continuous delivery. Previous “legacy” practices, following previously traditional ideas such as releasing applications once or twice a year, are now out of vogue. It is not just
