Legacy applications are not typically considered for public cloud deployments because of security, regulatory, data locality, or performance concerns. Containers make many of the services offered by public cloud providers possible and help increase automation.Migrating legacy applications to containers removes barriers to modernization. Red Hat® OpenShift® helps organizations complete this migration, letting them respond better to changing business demands. Read this brief to learn more.

Red Hat® Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes offers end-to-end management visibility and control to manage your cluster and application life cycle, along with security and compliance of your entire Kubernetes domain across multiple data centers and public clouds. Check out this data sheet to learn more.

An estimated 15 billion devices run Java™ worldwide . Until January 2019, no one had to pay for access to a current Java Virtual Machine (JVM), but Oracle implemented a significant change to its release cadence and support model. Oracle JDK is no longer free for production workloads and patches, leaving organizations with a choice to either pay Oracle for continued production support and updates for Oracle JDK, adopt OpenJDK and upgrade every six months, or migrate to an alternative OpenJDK implementation.

Learn how the Red Hat build of OpenJDK can help you develop, test, and deploy Java workloads in Windows or Linux-based environments.

Businesses differentiate by delivering extraordinary experiences to their customers, and today those experiences are driven by applications that quickly evolve to meet their needs. Once deployed, these applications must be portable, secure, easy to scale, and simple to manage. Organizations are turning to containers and Kubernetes to meet these needs. To quickly deliver new applications or to containerize and migrate existing ones to the cloud, they need a trusted platform to build upon.

Develop, deploy, and manage existing and container-based applications seamlessly across physical, virtual, and public cloud infrastructures. Learn how Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform can help.

Creating customer value depends upon your ability to develop, deploy, and run high quality applications faster across any cloud. Applications need to be cloud-native by default. Learn how to position your business for hybrid cloud success.

Cloud-native application development is a key part of open transformation and can help you compete in a digital world. By focusing on technology, processes, and people, you can deploy innovative, open approaches that support business agility, transformation, and success. Align your cloud technology with your business needs.

This open transformation can help you further accelerate innovation and customer engagement. Combining open processes and culture with cloud-native applications development approaches can create lasting improvement in your organization. You can also deliver more value to customers and gain many benefits for your organization.

IT-focused outcomes include:


• Faster application updates.
• Rapid application deployment.
• Quicker fault recovery.
• Improved accuracy.

When thinking about migrating applications into containers, there are three main high-level strategies: lift and shift, augment, and rewrite.

No matter which method you choose, it is important to recognize that most software was designed and written before modern, image-based containers were invented. Even if you choose the “lift and shift” method, where you might run a monolithic application inside a single container, it is likely that your application will need to be modified. To successfully move to containers, you will need a solid migration strategy that takes into account the needs of your applications and the nature of Linux® containers.

Learn specific, technical recommendations and guidelines for migrating software into containers—from image build procedures to production best practices.
