Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q1. What is cloud modernization?
Cloud modernization is the process of transforming outdated or legacy systems, applications, and IT infrastructure to fully leverage the capabilities of modern cloud environments. It involves a combination of upgrading technology, re-architecting applications, and optimizing resources to enhance performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
At its core, cloud modernization aims to address the limitations of traditional IT setups by adopting cloud-native technologies like serverless computing, containerization, and microservices. It often involves rethinking the design of applications to be more agile and responsive to business needs, enabling faster development cycles and seamless scalability.

-
Q4. How do I know if my business is ready for cloud modernization?
If your applications face performance issues, rising costs, or lack scalability, it’s a good time to consider modernization. CloudKeeper offers an initial assessment to help determine readiness and potential benefits.
-
Q5. What are the long-term benefits of cloud modernization?
Long-term benefits include increased efficiency, improved security, faster time-to-market for applications, better customer experiences, and the ability to innovate quickly.
-
Q6. What are the different approaches to cloud modernization?
There are a number of different approaches to cloud modernization, depending on the specific needs of the business. Some common approaches include:
- Re-hosting: This approach involves moving existing applications "as-is" to the cloud with minimal modifications. This is the quickest and easiest way to migrate to the cloud, but it may not take full advantage of all the benefits that the cloud has to offer.
- Replatforming: This approach involves modernizing applications to leverage cloud-native features and services. This can improve the performance, scalability, and security of applications.
- Repurchase: This approach involves analyzing licensing and identifying opportunities to optimize costs by transitioning to cost-effective cloud subscriptions.
- Refactoring: This approach involves restructuring applications to fully exploit cloud functionalities, maximizing long-term benefits.
- Retiring: This approach involves decommissioning unused or outdated applications, streamlining your IT landscape, and eliminating unnecessary costs.
-
Q7. What is the difference between cloud migration and cloud modernization?
- Cloud Migration: This involves moving existing workloads, applications, and data from on-premises infrastructure or another cloud to a cloud environment. The primary goal is to achieve cost savings, scalability, and accessibility. Migration often follows a "lift-and-shift" approach, where applications are moved without significant changes to their architecture.
Cloud Modernization: This focuses on transforming and optimizing applications to leverage cloud-native features and services fully. It often includes re-architecting, re-platforming, or rebuilding applications to enhance performance, scalability, resilience, and efficiency. Modernization aligns applications with the latest technologies like microservices, serverless computing, or containerization.
In short, migration gets you to the cloud, while modernization optimizes and enhances your applications for the cloud environment.
