With the advanced 6 R Methodology, rehash and reboot your applications to unlock extra agility, enhanced performance, and end-user excellence powered by an intelligent OCI backend.
Repurchase (Drop and Shop)
This phase involves minimalistic transformation to migrate to a cloud-based environment. The enterprise drops the existing on-prem license of the software being used and moves onto the cloud-based version of the same software, essentially repurchasing the license.
Rehost (Lift and Shift)
Identify the applications and existing workloads to be migrated and lift and shift them to the cloud ecosystem. The migration involves cutting-edge native tools and support services that help move the application stack from the existing on-prem to the cloud environment
Replatform (Lift, Change, Shift)
This process involves the same methodology as that of rehosting platforms and applications from the on-prem environment to the cloud ecosystem. However, here, some customizations are made to ensure that the platforms run best on the cloud.
Refactor/ Rearchitect
This phase or approach involves the most effort and expenses as the existing on-prem applications, databases, and workloads are significantly over-hauled, often at the codebase levels, to move them to the cloud. A common approach in this phase is to break up monolithic structures into microservice architectures for advanced performance on the cloud. Hence, such an approach ensures leveraging the best features of the cloud as the software is redesigned to match the cloud’s native environment.
Retire
This practice involves the recognition of applications or platforms that are redundant and would cause unnecessary load/overprovisioning on the cloud thereby shooting up operational costs. Under such circumstances, firms might opine to retire and replace the application altogether in favor of a cloud-friendlier version.
Retain
Businesses might opt to keep some legacy, on-prem applications running as they are delivering high performances and linked to critical projects. In such a case, the other core systems might run from the cloud and the retained on-prem applications might operate standalone or in sync with the cloud apps via APIs.

The world is rapidly transcending from monolithic architectures that have powered legacy applications and software for decades. The major issue with such traditional structures is in their unparalleled rigidity, making life difficult for engineers to spot sneaky code errors or make major updates. With the cloud revolution powering modernized development environments, break up legacy applications and design new software in a powerful modularized fashion: abstracted components dedicated to running critical functions, weaved together into a central whole via advanced tools. Such modularized, self-functioning software segments makes it easy to pinpoint errors, push upgrades, and automate the delivery process for faster provisioning and running into live environments. This also assists in load balancing and traffic management. Individual server functions running each of the microservice segments can be independently scaled up or down based on traffic requirements without affecting the entire software’s performance, thereby reducing unnecessary server overprovisioning and reducing costs.
If microservices is considered to transform the way applications and software are developed or designed, Serverless or Functions-as-a-Service ensures the same are run on the cloud in an equally agile and transformative manner. Under this process, once the developed code is pushed to the cloud, the microservice modules or functions are assigned independent servers/fire only when the particular function is called, thereby reducing idle running or overprovisioning. Hence, under this architecture, the enterprise simply needs to push the modules to the cloud environment and the latter takes care of the rest, even to the point of assigning servers to run the same. Embrace the Functions-as-a-Service approach for the app modernization process including frontend apps, middleware, OS, libraries, frameworks, APIs, virtual machines, and more. Integrate microservices architecture with containerization to leverage FaaS on OCI to the fullest. With serverless event processing, design and develop the architecture of an event-driven application that ingests data streams, processes the same on the cloud, and synchronizes the results back to back-end databases at zero disruption, null data loss, and ultra-low latency.

Oracle Application Modernization - FAQs
What is meant by App modernization on the Cloud?
Application modernization on cloud entitles customizing, rearchitecting, or fine-tuning applications to seamlessly integrate and run with the adopted cloud platform.
Legacy applications are often hardwired to specific systems, kernels, or backends and hence perform poorly on cloud if simply lifted and shifted.
To leverage the best of the advanced cloud architecture and ensure high workload performance, modernizing applications should be on the top of the bucket list for enterprise owners.
How do you achieve application modernization?
Application modernization could be done in six fundamental approaches or the 6 Rs: Repurchase, Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Retire, Retain.
The first approach involves simple transition of the usage of an on-prem software to its cloud version, essentially changing licenses.
Rehost involves lifting and shifting applications as is to the cloud environment while Replatform includes the same methodology but with a few customizations for better performance on the cloud.
Refactor or Rearchitect involves a complete overhaul of the applications, including breaking down monolithic structures into simpler modules or microservices and redesigning codebases to not only migrate them to cloud but making them cloud-ready end-to-end.
Retire and Retain involves practices to replace worn-out, redundant software or retaining existing, highly critical on-prem applications as-is, respectively.
What are the main components of application modernization?
Application modernization impacts the entire app’s lifecycle, inputs, and outputs.
Hence, to fully modernize applications, enterprises must also refactor app databases, fine tune database management platforms, modify application networks-protocols-libraries, customize servers, integrate with DevOps, and streamline app security.
Firms can leverage services of application modernization partners like CloudEngin or native cloud-tools to achieve the above without disruption.
