Google Cloud has introduced a new tool, the Application Rationalization Dashboard, designed to help organizations make informed decisions about their application modernization journey.
What I find particularly interesting is the dashboard's data-driven approach. It leverages data from CAST Highlight, which analyzes code across applications, and combines it with data from Google Cloud Migration Center, which provides insights into application infrastructure costs.
This data combination allows the dashboard to recommend a prioritization of modernization projects by segmenting applications based on their readiness for cloud transformation and their compute footprint.
Furthermore, the dashboard also recommends next steps, such as modernizing an application before migrating it to the cloud or using a lift-and-shift method to avoid cloud blockers.
Overall, I believe the Application Rationalization Dashboard is a valuable tool for any organization considering cloud migration or application modernization. It can help save time, money, and resources by enabling organizations to make more informed decisions.
