Learn how to transition complex applications off VM-based environments and into container-based, cloud-native services.
Many cloud migrations stall after lift-and-shift, leaving applications on VMs (often EC2 or similar instances) with limited scalability, rising costs, and little progress toward modernization.
This guide outlines a practical, architecture-first approach to break that cycle and move forward with AI.
When applications stall
Many organizations have already moved applications to the cloud.
But instead of unlocking value, they’re left with:
- Oversized VM instances with no elasticity
- Limited scalability and slow deployment cycles
- Rising cloud costs that eat into modernization budgets
- Applications that behave like monoliths, but run in the cloud
As outlined in the guide, 60% of planned applications never complete migration, even after 18–24 months.
What you’ll learn
Modernizing mission-critical applications isn’t just a technical challenge. It’s an architectural one.
Download the guide to:
- Understand why lift-and-shift stalls modernization
- Identify the architectural issues keeping applications stuck
- See how other companies moved beyond stalled migrations
- Refactor complex applications with AI
- Move from VM-based environments (e.g., Amazon EC2) to container-based services
- Build a clear, phased modernization plan aligned to your business
Move beyond stalled migrations and transition to true cloud-native architectures to improve scalability, resilience, and cost efficiency.
Who this guide is for
This guide is for engineering leaders, architects, and cloud teams responsible for applications that have already moved to the cloud but are not delivering expected value.
