ACA: Application Containerization Advisory Framework for Modernizing Legacy Applications
Abstract
With the adoption of cloud services and the reliability and resiliency it offers, enterprises are eager to understand how many of their legacy applications can be containerized. We propose Application Containerization advisor (ACA), a framework that provides a containerization advisory for legacy applications. Given an application description in terms of its technical components, ACA proposes a multi-step process that standardizes the raw inputs and curates technology stack into various components, detects missing components and finally recommends the best possible containerization approach.
