Many organizations still rely on monolithic applications for their most critical business operations, where knowledge of the internal application structure is limited. Learn how to solve challenges related to transforming into a microservices architecture through recipes driven by CAST Software and AWS Migration Hub Refactor Spaces. CAST is an AWS Migration and Modernization Competency Partner and technology provider for software intelligence that enables digital transformation.

Many IBM Db2 customers are exploring modernizing their databases by moving them into a containerized environment such as Red Hat OpenShift, Amazon EKS, or IBM’s Cloud Pak for Data. Getting to the end goal of containerizing your database takes a lot of time and effort. To streamline this process, IBM has developed a new utility called Db2 Click to Containerize (also known as Db2 Shift) to help customers move their databases quickly and easily from an on-premises Db2.

AWS Migration Hub Refactor Spaces is designed to help customers refactor existing applications incrementally, while increasing business agility and time to market and maximizing the business value of AWS. Follow a demonstration of an actual upgrade of a monolithic application with AWS Migration Hub Refactor Spaces, including setting up the Migration Spaces environment and refactoring two microservices of the monolithic application.

DXC Technology offers a suite of application services to migrate a customer’s application portfolio from a legacy infrastructure to the container management service in the most efficient manner. These services are bundled under DXC’s Applications Containerization as a Service (aCaaS) offering and enable organizations to leverage the seismic shift in application hosting with containerization. Learn how some of the challenges encountered during legacy migration can be successfully mitigated using AWS App2Container.

Numerous legacy workloads, still hosted on premises, are mission-critical and hardly interruptible. Their migration to AWS must happen quasi-transparently for their users. This post details how the combination of AWS Outposts and CloudEndure can be used to solve for this issue. We demonstrate this by migrating a Solaris machine making use of the Charon SSP emulator by Stromasys, running on standard Amazon EC2 instances and using CloudEndure.

For many companies, budget and time constraints, along with shifting workplace dynamics and lack of skilled developers, prevent them from taking the leap in modernizing their legacy applications. Learn how Wipro is taking a step forward to address these challenges and deliver cloud transformation at scale with the Cloud Native Acceleration Platform (CNAP). It provides self-service and enhanced developer experience to help build both greenfield cloud-native applications and modernize legacy applications.

To reap the benefits of cloud computing, organizations cannot simply take their existing applications and architectures in their legacy on-premises environment and move them as-is to the cloud. True cloud modernization with MongoDB Atlas on AWS enables you to move data and simultaneously apply the latest innovations in development methodologies, architectural patterns, and technologies to refresh your portfolio of existing applications.

To increase business agility and keep pace with the rapid changes in the industry, the development lifecycle for mainframe applications should be accelerated. This post discusses how organizations who replatform their legacy mainframe applications to AWS using the NTT DATA UniKix product suite can implement a modern DevOps workflow with NTT DATA tools and select AWS services. The CI/CD pipeline explained in this post will help you speed up the development, testing, and release processes.

Venerable needed to modernize a core business application for managing agent commissions, so they engaged AWS ISV Partner Heirloom Computing and AWS Premier Consulting Partner Cognizant. Learn how Venerable’s Agent Management System (AMS) application was replatformed into a cloud-native Java application running successfully on AWS, through a process known as automated refactoring using the Heirloom product suite.

The legacy nature of its Windows application was a challenge faced by a rail manufacturer while migrating to AWS was. Refactoring the application to leverage AWS cloud-native features was not a viable option in this case, as the vendor had stopped their software maintenance and support. Learn how IBM leveraged AWS to improve the application’s long startup time by implementing a warming functionality using AWS Lambda and AWS Systems Manager.
