Sum It Up
Modernizing infrastructure is essentially a process of breaking down monolithic systems and apps into the smallest units that use shared cloud resources. You can update these systems and apps quickly and at scale as needed.
This also means that you’re handing over more of the back-end maintenance to cloud providers. Your IT team can focus more on innovation and delivering business value, rather than intensive hardware maintenance. You can also focus more on agile application development and deployment.
