Overview of this book

Cloud computing has proven to be the most revolutionary IT development since virtualization. Cloud native architectures give you the benefit of more flexibility over legacy systems. This Learning Path teaches you everything you need to know for designing industry-grade cloud applications and efficiently migrating your business to the cloud. It begins by exploring the basic patterns that turn your database inside out to achieve massive scalability. You’ll learn how to develop cloud native architectures using microservices and serverless computing as your design principles. Then, you’ll explore ways to continuously deliver production code by implementing continuous observability in production. In the concluding chapters, you’ll learn about various public cloud architectures ranging from AWS and Azure to the Google Cloud Platform, and understand the future trends and expectations of cloud providers. By the end of this Learning Path, you’ll have learned the techniques to adopt cloud native architectures that meet your business requirements. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Cloud Native Development Patterns and Best Practices by John Gilbert • Cloud Native Architectures by Erik Farr et al.

Patterns for moving off monolithic application architectures to AWS native architectures


In the earlier sections, we discussed multiple options to create greenfield cloud-native applications using various AWS services. That part is a little easy, as you are starting fresh and so you can use various cloud services as you architect your solutions. However, if you have a huge technical debt in an on-premise environment and want to reduce that by moving over to a cloud platform such as AWS, then it takes more effort and planning.

In recent years, AWS has matured its migration services, methodology, and messaging to make it easier for organizations to not just think of greenfield but even plan for brownfield implementations in AWS. They have a methodology of the 6Rs, which possibly covers every scenario for any workload migration to AWS. The 6Rs that AWS has are Rehosting, Replatforming, Repurchasing, Refactoring/Re-Architecting, Retire, and Retain.

The following is a snapshot of this methodology...
