App modernization helps you determine the right path to take to improve your current applications - or to replace them with entirely new ones. Move the entirety of your app to a new environment, or containerize different parts of your app and orchestrate it all with Kubernetes. Alternately, you can build cloud-native capabilities that connect to your existing apps, using APIs to deliver new functionalities. From containers to microservices and secure DevOps, find the answers to the many facets of modernization that you need to understand when planning and executing your move.
