During this session, I will guide you through the key considerations, strategies, and best practices to ensure a successful and seamless transition. From assessing the compatibility of your legacy application with a cloud-native environment to refactoring and rearchitecting for optimal performance, we will explore the crucial steps to take on this migration journey.

You'll gain valuable insights into the benefits of leveraging K8s and cloud-native principles, such as scalability, resiliency, and agility, to unlock the full potential of your legacy application. We'll discuss techniques for containerizing your application, orchestrating it with K8s, and leveraging cloud-native services to enhance functionality and streamline operations.
Additionally, we'll address the potential challenges and pitfalls you may encounter during the migration process and provide practical tips to overcome them. Whether it's handling data migration, ensuring security and compliance, or managing dependencies, we've got you covered with proven strategies and real-world examples.
