Lift& Shape
A concept for modernizing ageing infrastructure in phases, so the business sees value early and new data workloads have room to grow.
Challenge
Legacy applications on ageing servers make releases slow, recovery uncertain and leave no capacity for new analytics and AI workloads.
Approach
Assess every workload, rehost quick wins first, refactor core services for managed platforms and define all environments as code.
Solution
- Workload assessment and migration waves
- Secure landing zone and identity model
- Rehost, replatform and refactor by workload
- CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code
- Monitoring, backup and cost guardrails
Technology
- Public cloud landing zone
- Containers and managed databases
- Infrastructure as code
- CI/CD
- Observability stack
Results
This is a demonstration project, so there are no client results to report. If delivered, success would be measured by:
- Deployment frequency
- Recovery time
- Infrastructure cost per workload
