Phases of application modernization
Today, many organizations face the challenge of Modernize your applications to take advantage of the cloud. AWS offers a three-phase iterative approach for application modernization, which helps organizations modernize their applications efficiently and effectively.
Three-phase iterative approach
Phase 1: Evaluation
The first phase of AWS's application modernization approach is the evaluationIn this phase, the application is assessed for cloud suitability and components that can be modernized are identified. Tools and services are used to analyze the application and a modernization plan is generated.
The goal of this phase is to gain a detailed understanding of the application and its requirements, and to determine which components can be modernized and how. Some of the tools and services that can be used in this phase include:
- AWS Application Discovery Service: This service helps organizations gather information about their existing applications, including their dependencies and requirements.
- AWS Migration Hub: This service helps organizations plan and execute the migration of their applications to the cloud.
- AWS Well-Architected Tool: This service helps organizations assess the architecture of their applications and ensure they comply with AWS best practices.
Phase 2: Modernization
The second thing in the phases of AWS application modernization is the modernization actual. In this phase, the actual modernization of the application takes place. This may include migrating the application to the cloud, optimizing the application to take advantage of the cloud, redesigning the application to take advantage of cloud-native services, and rebuilding the application using cloud-native architectures.
From here, applications and projects are determined, as well as the requirements of each one to modernize according to the implementation roadmap. Its main objective is to take advantage of the benefits of the cloud, which may include greater Scalability, availability, to maximise security and your enjoyment. y efficiency. On the other hand, applications are revitalized and agile architectures are created. Some of the tools and services that can be used in this phase include:
- AWS Database Migration Service: This service helps organizations migrate their databases to the cloud.
- AWS Lambda: This service allows you to run code without having to manage servers.
- Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS): This service helps organizations manage containers using Kubernetes.
Phase 3: Administration
Another phase of modernization is the administration. In it, the application is managed and optimized in the cloud.
Application operations are automated to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Tools and services are used to monitor and keep the application running optimally.
The goal is to ensure that the application runs optimally in the cloud and that costs are reasonable. Some of the tools and services that can be used in this phase include:
- Amazon CloudWatch: This service allows you to monitor resources and applications in AWS.
- AWS Auto Scaling: This service allows you to automatically scale resources based on demand.
- AWS Cost Explorer: This service helps organizations understand their costs on AWS.
Application modernization is a significant challenge for many organizations. AWS’s three-phase iterative approach to application modernization can help organizations modernize their applications efficiently and effectively.
Assessment, modernization, and management are critical phases to ensure an application runs optimally in the cloud. With the right tools and services, organizations can modernize their applications and take full advantage of the cloud.
