You have lifted your app or solution to cloud, with the purpose of enjoying the benefits of cloud being more scalable, reliable, secure and reducing your costs. But you don’t get to see and experience all the benefits right away, which can be frustrating.Is it all hype, is it cloud vendor specific, or have you done something wrong?
- Have you rehosted or refactored?
- Have you considered the Anatomy of your existing App or Solution?
Maybe, your application is a lot more monolithic than you realize.
For enterprise IT professionals, existing on premise Applications or Solutions providers, adopting
Cloud Native can be challenging and this does mean you need to make choices and consider refactoring your application to Cloud.
Oracle Cloud Native services empower modern application development and running applications on any cloud or on-premises environment, maximizing the benefits you can get from cloud, your agility and allowing you to focus on innovating.
So what what do you need to do to be more Cloud Native and Will it be worth the effort of Refactoring?
•
Modernize but retain familiarity: Moving to the Cloud allows an enterprise to modernize their capabilities by virtualizing parts of it, and retaining familiarity
•
A multistep adoption plan: By moving applicable services to OCI Platform services, you can immediately leverage the managed nature of OCI. However, those applications that you lifted and shifted will only gain some cloud capabilities.
•
Leverage existing investments: You can retain licenses and any architectural investments you might have made in the past for the portions that you lift-and-shift.
•
Lower operational costs: The cloud can allow you to lower costs by adjusting your IT spend based on traffic.
•
Standardization and consolidation: By moving your stack to the cloud, you can gradually standardize and consolidate your IT estate to meet Cloud standards.
Knowing your options, is essential to move forward before making any decision.
On this introduction to OCI Refactoring we will beging discussing partly your options towards Cloud Native. Even you have already refactored, there might be still more to do optimizing your applications in modern, scalable, dynamic environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds like Oracle Cloud.
