Abstract
In the midst of all the noise, hype, and hope for the cloud-inspired business augmentation and acceleration, there is a big market opening up for application modernization and migration engagements. That is, worldwide service providers and IT divisions are readying themselves with procedures, key guidelines, metrics, tools, and practices to systematically accomplish application renovation to be deposited and delivered from optimal and operational cloud infrastructures and platforms. In this chapter, we share some of the insights and information on where to initiate and how to accomplish the cloud movement successfully and without much pain. We present and discuss the method to be followed in order to simplify and streamline the process of assessment, fit-for-purpose analysis, renovation, and movement toward competent and connected clouds. We inscribe the key technical as well as business reasons for such a strategic exercise.
