THREE TRANSFORMATIONS POWERING APP MODERNIZATION

 * Share this Article

 * LinkedIn

The pandemic has accelerated digital business initiatives. Ultimately, it’s the
application that delivers new capabilities to customers and employees; but
transformation occurs at several layers to support those applications. At
VMware, we see our customers navigating three transformations, each of which
supports digital business and app modernization at different levels. 


INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSFORMATION

Data centers are being automated and cloud migrations are accelerating.
Organizations have the opportunity to optimize infrastructure operations, shift
from capex to opex spending, and access elastic capacity with minimal friction.
But the frictionless portability needed to realize this transition without
disruption has been a challenge. Here, VMware Tanzu is part of a broader VMware
solution for organizations to modernize from infrastructure up. 

With over 15 million workloads on VMware Cloud, VMware vSphere customers have a
clear and simple path from private data centers into the cloud. In September
2020, we announced vSphere with VMware Tanzu and VMware Cloud Foundation with
VMware Tanzu as the simplest paths to adopting Kubernetes. And we launched Tanzu
Editions, which package capabilities from the Tanzu portfolio to directly target
the most common challenges enterprises encounter in modernizing their
infrastructure and applications. With VMware’s multi-cloud solutions and
partnerships like Tanzu support for VMware Cloud on AWS and Azure VMware
Solution, customers can modernize their data centers and simplify migrating to
the cloud provider of their choice.


DEVSECOPS TRANSFORMATION

Alongside this data center transformation comes the need to support a shift in
operating models. DevOps practices and continuous delivery are enabling business
advantages to those who can deliver higher-quality code to production faster and
more frequently. These practices depend on a tremendous amount of automation,
for which an ecosystem of container-centric technology, the so-called “cloud
native” ecosystem, has emerged. 

Meanwhile, security remains ever important but has often posed a challenge to
rapid releases to production. Integrating security measures throughout the
development and deployment lifecycle aligns the goals of DevOps and security. As
such, DevSecOps has emerged as a unifying approach for enterprises, defining
additional requirements within the cloud native ecosystem. 

But this cloud native container ecosystem is already large and complex.
Assembling a complete solution from disparate projects and providers leaves
companies with a huge amount of integration work and ongoing support effort.
VMware, on the other hand, is uniquely positioned to deliver, thanks to the
products we offer and the experts, technology, and services we’ve developed and
acquired. 

In January 2020, VMware completed its acquisition of Pivotal and combined the
company with the talent and technology from Heptio, Wavefront, and Bitnami to
create Tanzu. Today, we’ve made Tanzu Advanced edition available, offering
companies a platform that reduces developer toil and automates operational
effort, all with a declarative, policy-based approach to secure how containers
are built, how Kubernetes clusters are managed, and how services connect. Read
more about Tanzu Advanced here.

The transition to DevSecOps is more than a technology stack. The experts at
VMware Tanzu Labs have deep Kubernetes experience pairing with platform teams,
helping them internalize modern platform-as-product practices. In September, we
also launched KubeAcademy Pro to offer free, long-form training to practitioners
looking to expand their knowledge and skills. To learn more about the value of
DevSecOps and how to get started, check out this upcoming webinar with guest
Sandy Carilli of Forrester Research and download her report on container
security here.


MICROSERVICES AND APPLICATION PATTERN TRANSFORMATION

Atop the evolving data center infrastructure and DevSecOps platform are the
applications themselves. To support more frequent changes, security best
practices, and novel uses of data, these applications need to follow modern
application patterns, such as microservices architectures and API-first design.
But this is easier said than done. Many organizations are struggling with
application modernization because of the complexity that comes with modernizing
their large application portfolios. 

The obvious first application-modernization step for our customers is to assess
which category each of their apps falls into. That’s why we’re so excited to
introduce Project Iris*, which will deliver a more scalable approach to app
modernization and be available soon. 

Project Iris discovers and analyzes an organization’s full app portfolio;
recommends which apps to rehost, replatform, or refactor; and enables customers
to adapt their own transformation journey for each app, line of business, or
data center. For apps that fall into the replatform category, it simplifies the
conversion of Java applications (using Tomcat, WebLogic, and WebSphere) to run
in a Kubernetes environment.    

For applications that need more meaningful refactoring—or new applications built
with modern practices and user-centered design—VMware Tanzu Labs works with
customers and delivers modernization and software product design outcomes.
During 2020, this extraordinary team of nearly 800 practitioners delivered 697
projects across platform and app services for clients such as Duke
Energy and USMEDIC. 

This app-level transformation is more than a technology stack, and it needs to
reach the millions of developers already supported by Tanzu today. If you're
ready to start down this path, explore an App Navigator engagement with Tanzu
Labs, or plan to attend SpringOne to learn the latest techniques and connect
with other developers and app leaders bringing microservices and modern app
patterns to organizations.
