FUTURE OUTLOOK
Digital transformation has become the top priority for
enterprise initiatives and a critical need in an environment
when traditional businesses are increasingly disrupted
by savvy start-ups leveraging technology as their core
strength without being saddled with technical debt.
Cloud providers offer a variety of cloud-native services
that help enterprises in their digital transformation journey
by improving infrastructure efficiency while accelerating
application development. The cost to support legacy
applications is accelerating with an aging workforce, so
initiatives to modernize applications by taking advantage
of a cloud-native architecture is becoming an urgent need
for enterprises.
A modern application development and delivery platform
allows monolith applications to be refactored into
components, or microservices; a serverless operational
model reduces the complexity in managing these
resources. Enterprises need to ensure that a set of
developer tools is available from their cloud provider to
securely manage these resources as they move from code
change to production.
