Migrating Legacy Monoliths to Cloud Native Microservices Architectures on Kubernetes

Explore the journey of migrating legacy monolithic applications to cloud native microservices architectures on Kubernetes in this insightful 17-minute talk by Dan Kohn from the Linux Foundation. Discover real-world examples of multi-billion dollar companies successfully evolving their existing monolithic systems into cloud native architectures. Learn about the benefits of microservices, including increased developer productivity and decoupled dependencies. Gain valuable insights into the step-by-step process of containerizing legacy systems, removing outdated functionality, and leveraging complementary projects. Understand the advantages of cloud native architectures, such as avoiding vendor lock-in, improved orchestration, and enhanced resilience. Examine the challenges and strategies for evolving monoliths, and explore the concept of constellations of complementary projects. Get inspired by practical takeaways and learn why Kubernetes has become the leading choice for cloud native deployments.
