Abstract: An application-centric modernization and migration (AMM) architecture delivers AMM as a service to enterprises to automate migrating applications to new environments. In this regard, the architecture implements data migration functionality in concert with application code migration, environment provisioning, and post-migration configuration. The joint migration of application data and application code effectively provides a complete migration of an application. The architecture may also define and deliver a GUI portal through which an application owner provides application-specific metadata to drive the AMM.

Abstract: An application-centric continuous delivery (ACCID) architecture provides a service that automates the configuration and management of end-to-end application lifecycle management (ALM) tools, through an innovative application-centric metadata model that can be customized through a self-service portal. With the ACCID architecture, IT organizations can provide version management, build automation, test automation, artifact management, infrastructure build, and automated application deployment that is consistent with global IT policy and governance and delivered as a service to organizations. The ACCID architecture references customized application metadata models that describe the application services, ALM requirements, and target infrastructure, to employ end-to-end automation of: the software deployment lifecycle and promotion across application environments, e.g., Development, Test, Pre-Production, and Production environments, using private, public, or hybrid cloud deployment models.
