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 requirements of storage and database modernization

Often, data in legacy solutions is scattered all over in heterogeneous storage systems and data sources that are often not connected or governed. Therefore, one of the critical requirements for data and storage modernization is overcoming these issues. Simultaneously, data and storage modernization focuses on improving the quality of data. Therefore, analytics and intelligence can ensure better performance of storage and databases. We will discuss a use case from the airline industry to explore storage and database modernization, called the Aerodactyl use case. The core objectives of data and storage migration and modernization are as follows:

  • Make data accessible with a secure and resilient storage and communication solution.
  • Provide end-to-end data governance solutions to manage the life cycle of data.
  • Ensure the central governance of data from heterogeneous sources. A modern data platform can act...
