Migrating Java to the Cloud by Jason Goodwin, Kevin Webber

Estimates vary but the message is clear: cloud spending worldwide is soaring, and much of the demand is coming from companies looking to migrate existing systems. Transforming a monolithic legacy application into a cloud native system is no small feat, but with this in-depth report, your organization will learn ways to migrate classical Java applications to newly provisioned cloud infrastructure without requiring a significant rewrite.
This book covers proven steps and techniques that enable your company to take advantage of cloud infrastructure's power and flexibility. You'll explore three pillars of successful cloud adoption - infrastructure refresh, application modernization and migration, and security modernization - and learn how to treat the cloud as an unlimited pool of resources that brings both scale and resilience to your system.
