Description
A classic legacy desktop application is usually not designed to operate in the cloud, not even as a container. Nevertheless, you can’t refuse cloud adoption and the need for scaling your resources on demand - if you want to continue to be successful and open up new business areas. That’s why we took the plunge with our MS Windows-based monolith, whose development began more than two decades ago. The start of the changeover raised more questions than answers.
• Which cloud services shall we use? • How could Infrastructure as Code, (more precisely Terraform) support us? • How far will we come within a year? • Who is the main driver regarding our efforts towards to cloud migration and scalability? • Which obstacles will we face?
This is (among others) what we are trying to answer.
