Introduction
1. Introduction
In the previous section of the course, you explored the benefits and options for modernizing It infrastructure with the cloud. Now let's focus on application modernization. But first, what exactly is an application? In its basic form, an application is a computer, program or software that helps users do something. And in this digital age, applications are everywhere. Consider how many application patients you interact with each day, from checking email to tracking your fitness with wearable technology that links to an app on your phone. Customers expect intuitive, well functioning applications that can help them do things faster. Applications have been developed on premises for years and often still are. However, on premises application development often slows organizations down. Deploying an application on premises can be time consuming and can also require specialized IT teams. Changes can often take six months or more to implement, which can create friction within different parts of an organization. With cloud technology, businesses can modernize, develop, and manage applications in new ways, which makes them more agile and responsive to user needs. In this section of the course, you'll compare traditional and modern cloud application development methods. Explore considerations and tools for rehosting legacy applications in the cloud. Define application programming interfaces, or APIs. Examine the benefits of maintaining and managing APIs with Apigee API management, and consider scenarios when a hybrid or multi cloud strategy might be beneficial.2. Let's practice!
