Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure and Operations Explained

By: Mansura Habiba

Overview of this book

Most organizations are now either moving to the cloud through modernization or building their apps in the cloud. Hybrid cloud is one of the best approaches for cloud migration and the modernization journey for any enterprise. This is why, along with coding skills, developers need to know the big picture of cloud footprint and be aware of the integration models between apps in a hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure. This book represents an overview of your end-to-end journey to the cloud. To be future agnostic, the journey starts with a hybrid cloud. You'll gain an overall understanding of how to approach migration to the cloud using hybrid cloud technologies from IBM and Red Hat. Next, you’ll be able to explore the challenges, requirements (both functional and non-functional), and the process of app modernization for enterprises by analyzing various use cases. The book then provides you with insights into the different reference solutions for app modernization on the cloud, which will help you to learn how to design and implement patterns and best practices in your job. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to successfully modernize applications and cloud infrastructure in hyperscaler public clouds such as IBM and hybrid clouds using Red Hat technologies as well as develop secure applications for cloud environments.

Understanding the fundamentals of modernization

The modernization concept is a fundamental requirement for modern technology. Therefore, organizations that are part of the global technology ecosystem must adopt modernization. Modernization refers to infrastructure modernization, application modernization, cultural modernization, practice modernization, and operation modernization to ensure high performance and excellent customer experience. In this section, we will discuss the fundamentals of cloud modernization.

What is application modernization?

Application modernization focuses on application behavior and integration among different applications on top of a modern infrastructure. Application modernization aims to achieve high velocity, availability, scalability, resiliency, and security for mission-critical applications. All modern platforms must have secure, resilient, and cloud-native application architecture, deployment topology, operation model, performance end-user user...
