Application Modernization with Cloud Flexibility

Enterprise developers face many choices when writing software. What’s the right architecture for the long run? What are the technologies I should bet on?

One of the more challenging decisions: how to balance the flexibility to deploy their software on any public cloud with the benefits of using differentiating cloud services. You may gain significant functional benefits from such a service, but this may make moving from one cloud provider to another more difficult, limiting flexibility.

In this paper, we’ll discuss pragmatic strategies you can take to achieve something approximating the ideal of service liquidity. Pivotal and Microsoft have worked with several enterprises and partners to provide an evaluation and implementation framework. The end result? Developers can utilize the power of a given cloud platform, while ensuring cloud flexibility for their application modernization projects. Read on to learn more about this framework.

Six Steps to Comprehensive Container Security

An application or service that you develop once to run in multiple clouds has a clear advantage over one that is bound to a single OS or runtime environment. Container technology makes it possible, but container security vulnerabilities are beginning to surface. We describe 6 steps you can take to ensure that container security doesn’t become a DevOps roadblock.

Central Role of Messaging Middleware in Cloud and Digital Transformation Initiatives

Highly decentralized computing is the new normal for most organizations, and digital transformation (DX) initiatives are changing application architectures to event driven to support real-time and near-real-time response cycles. In this environment, enterprises are increasingly turning to messaging middleware to meet the combined requirements of complexity, speed, reliability, and security to connect the digital world of applications and data.

Lyft’s Move to Microservices: A Case Study

Lyft’s consumer mobile app has real­time transactions totaling more than one million rides per day, so performance is critically important. The smallest lapses – even a few milliseconds – contribute to negative customer experiences and lost revenue. As Lyft’s Vice President of Engineering, Pete Morelli, explained, “The bigger you get, the better you have to be. Half an hour of downtime may have cost you five rides early on, now it costs millions of dollars in rides. The level of reliability expected of Lyft is not trivial. People are riding to work or to doctors’ appointments.

Global Microservices Trends Report

The old elements of logging, metrics, and tracing are insufficient for today’s complex software systems. If you’re adopting microservices, you know that faster root cause analysis and the ability to confidently measure and explain performance is key to improve efficiency and save developer time.

Read this report to understand:

  • Countless disconnected time­series statistics aren’t enough to explain the behavior of modern applications.
  • Tools must identify, triage, and explain latency issues, as organizations adopt microservices
  • It’s critical to evolve our thinking about latency measurements and how they play a part in diagnostic workflows.

Business Protection, Simplified: Disaster Recovery Strategies That Work

No matter where a business is on the road to digital transformation, IT and LOB execs must not overlook the importance of having a solid business continuity strategy that doesn’t break the bank. And, the more ‘digital’ a business becomes, the more important it is for 24/7/365 access for customers, whether next door or around the world.

This BattleCard looks at the factors driving business continuity and disaster recovery strategies, and how to structure your BC/DR plan to minimize three critical factors: Recovery time objective (RTO), recovery point objective (RPO), and total cost of ownership (TCO) for your BC/DR solution.

Application Modernization: On the Path to Digital Transformation

In our “there’s an app for that” environment, businesses need to offer their customers anywhere, anytime, any device access to engage with customers, suppliers, and employees. However, critical business logic in legacy applications is often trapped in on-premises datacenters, limiting access in today’s multi-cloud, multi-vendor world.

This BattleCard looks at ways business-critical legacy applications can be freed from their data center roots, and how to develop a plan for re-factoring or re-platforming tried-and-true code to embrace a business’ digital transformation and become more cloud-savvy
