Migrating .NET workloads to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift
When modernizing .NET workloads, there are 3 typical modernization strategies: re-hosting to a cloud ready infrastructure, optimizing for cloud, or going cloud native.
This page aims to give you inspiration for your particular workloads—to understand the achievable benefits, the strategies, and to kick off your own initiative.
Which migration strategy you choose is specific to each business, your applications, and priorities—multiple strategies may be applicable simultaneously based on your needs.
| Challenge | Modernization benefit |
|---|---|
| Limited business agility slowing innovation Maintaining legacy .NET workloads on legacy infrastructure are holding back business agility and innovation. | Improved business agility and innovation Consolidating workloads on OpenShift results in simplified, consistent business processes. |
| Discrete ecosystems as a barrier to cloud adoption Linux and .NET workloads historically required separate processes, hardware environments, and administrator and developer skills. | Cloud adoption fit-to-need Workload consolidation facilitates streamlined operational processes. Rehosted, replatformed, and refactored .NET applications can run side-by-side in Red Hat OpenShift. |
| Managing operational costs Costly to manage a scalable, reliable, secure, and low-cost dedicated windows environment alongside many workloads types on OpenShift that inherently offers those characteristics | Reduced cost, budget flexibility Simplified business processes, workload consolidation on the same/similar hardware frees up budget to execute on business-differentiating goals. |
| Challenge | Modernization benefit |
|---|---|
| Data center complexity Must manage multiple application types written to multiple programming languages, some of which have their own management capabilities and tooling. | Better scalability, reliability, security .NET Workloads can scale on demand on OpenShift. |
| Limited resources Dividing hardware to support Windows and Linux/Kubernetes. | Consolidated workloads Manage compute resources holistically rather than as discrete servers. |
| Maintaining multiple ecosystems Administering separate .NET and Linux environments can require separate administrators with appropriate dedicated skills. | Consolidated workloads on OpenShift Leverage common management expertise across many types of workloads, including .NET. Red Hat and Microsoft support. |
Re-hosting your existing workloads toRed Hat OpenShift Virtualizationwill bring your existing Virtual Machine "as-is" directly into a modern, hybrid cloud and multi-cloud ready infrastructure.
The next level of modernizing your workloads is optimizing for cloud running on Windows Containers technologies. Red Hat OpenShift comes withsupport for Windows Containers.
This approach evolves your workloads and requires re-architecting specifically for the cloud and new code. Configuration and design needs to be redesigned in order to get all the benefits a cloud friendly environment can offer.
