The Cloud Paks
Application creation and modernisation
IBM Cloud Pak for Applications supports both the creation of new cloud-native applications and the modernisation of existing ones:
Modernising traditional applications: Just because you’re moving to the cloud doesn’t mean that you need to build everything from the ground up. By modernising traditional applications, you can increase their flexibility and scalability. Using Transformation Advisor we can analyse your on-premise applications, determine modernisation complexity, and recommend target environments. This means that existing apps can remain running while your modernisation strategy is being executed.
Building cloud native applications: Apps that are built in the cloud are typically more scalable, easier to update and less costly to run. They also help you to respond much quicker to the needs of your customer. Cloud-native development provides developers with a choice of languages, frameworks and runtimes to build cloud-native apps and microservices. There is also the benefit of integrating with services like blockchain, machine learning and cognitive capabilities.
