The Ecosystem Intelligent and Intuitive: Why Application Modernization on the Google Cloud Platform Matters?
In the global hyperscaler cloud race, Google Cloud is a relatively young competitor. However, what matters more is that the platform is already one of the Top three cloud service providers across the globe. What tunes perfectly to fuel this rise and its accelerated enterprise adoption across the globe is Google’s familiarity amongst the world’s billions equally balanced by an advanced cloud native ecosystem enriched with Google’s latest digital innovations; AI, Automation, Analytics, IT modernization solutions and services. Google, for billions of Millennials and Gen Z across the globe, is synonymous to the internet. And, no surprise, they are today’s fast booming entrepreneurs or business mentors. The popularity of Google Cloud is hence firmly established. But, why is the cloud ecosystem unprecedently promising for an enterprise’s application modernization functionalities, across landscape sizes and complexities? Filtering out the familiarity and the intuitiveness factors, Google Cloud imbibes the best of technologies in the IT universe, trading with the world’s leading tech providers and innovation architects.
This results in a cloud ecosystem that’s extensively flexible, super-innovative, and highly intelligent and analytics-driven; something that best fits the modern business’ operational cause as they juggle with hundreds of applications daily and millions of contemporary choices to address ever-fluctuating market demands. To top it all, Google Cloud’s increasing focus to spread its footprint beyond the conventional datacenter perimeters has resulted in an arsenal of services catering to hybrid and multi-cloud applications, right to the edge and endpoint levels. Top-notch flexibility paired with an intuitive, intelligent ecosystem that can be seamlessly extended and applied to an organization’s IT presence anywhere (remote offices, datacenters, edge, multiple clouds, IoT, endpoints) makes it a smart new option to tackle application modernization duties.

The 6 R Application Modernization Framework on Google Cloud: Which Model fits your Enterprise Best?
Application modernization on the cloud is a dire necessity to revitalize IT operations and scale up delivery, service experiences. However, most enterprises only lift and shift applications and end up with massively limited, degraded performances due to the lack of sufficient app modernization on cloud experts. CloudEngin exhaustive cloud strategy, development, full-stack architecture, maintenance, and security engineers act as an extended team to modernize a client’s application environment end-to-end on the AWS Cloud.
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 AWS cloud backend. You can start your AWS application modernization journey with a free discovery workshop.
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
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.

Embed security by design in the application DevOps lifecycle: DevSecOps.
The world is rapidly transcending from monolithic architectures that have powered legacy applications and software for decades to loosely coupled microservices. 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 to ensure consistent customer success, 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 GCP 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. Leverage GCP native tools to enable serverless operations: Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, etc
