How should we think about migrating legacy workloads to new infrastructure and modernize them?
The group addresses this question methodically incuding how databases get linked, how they get used, how they get migrated, how important it is to maintain languages and what it would take to migrate in language. In the end, we look back on that conversation apply lessons learned to what we are building today,
This is absolutely essential because new designs will become tomorrow’s legacy! We’ll be struggling to migrate those in 10 or 15 years too. So everything we can learn helps prevent that cycle.

Rob’s Hot Take:
Hello, I’m Rob Hirschfeld, CEO and co-founder of RackN, providing a hot take on the January 25th discussion about migrating legacy applications to the cloud. While the topic may seem limited, the reality is that today’s legacy was once a cutting-edge application, underscoring the importance of designing with future migrations in mind. The key challenges identified in the conversation were complexity and coupling, emphasizing the need for clean, referenceable APIs to facilitate smoother migrations. To delve into these insights further, listen to the full episode on January 25th and join the ongoing discussions at the2030.cloud.
Why should you sponsor? Current OpenStack operators facing “fork-lift upgrades” should want to find a path like this one that ensures future upgrades are baked into the plan. This approach provide a fast track to a general purpose, enterprise grade, upgradable Kubernetes infrastructure.
