Challenges:
Require detailed information about the application and its workload components that can be migrated to Red Hat OpenShift Container on IBM Cloud.
Need to know whether the application is suitable for migrating to Red Hat OpenShift Container on IBM Cloud.
Need to find the modernization topology that is suitable for the application transformation.
Need to define application and workload level configurations accurately for proper functioning of the application.
Under Corent's OpenSaaS Initiative™, several open-source applications were converted into SaaS. Few applications were selected for modernization migration to Red Hat OpenShift service on IBM Cloud and OpenEMR was the first to be selected for this hybrid migration to Red Hat OpenShift Container.
Solutions:
MaaS Scanner identified the application’s workload components and its associated resources within a short time using MaaS' Deep Scanning mode.
MaaS scanned and generated Cloud assessment reports with migration feasibility details and Container advisories.
MaaS identified the best modernization topology, based on the type of application workloads, to containerize and modernize the application on IBM Cloud.
MaaS allows you to select the required application and workload level configurations that are automatically generated with MaaS' built-in intelligence.
Benefits:
Hybrid modernization migration of workloads.
Automated target container configuration.
