Abstract

Enterprise modernization is already being viewed as a strategic concern and organizations are panhandling to change monolithic applications with resilient, intelligent and scalable cloud-individualization systems, which will respond and adapt to changing business needs. Traditional enterprise systems would be less scaled, expensive to maintain, their deployment process slow and they cannot be integrated with the new artificial intelligence (AI) inventions. The framework presented in this paper is an Intelligent Microservices Modernization Framework (IMMF) which was designed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to refine the legacy enterprising apps into a new format of smarter and more resilient cloud-native services, in modules. This architecture features microservices based on API, Kubernetes containers and event-based communication via Pub/Sub, a serverless processing engine using Cloud Functions/Cloud Run, AI-powered analytics as a component of Vertex AI, intelligent monitoring as a component of Cloud Operations Suite, identities and access control, CI/CD automation, and central observability. The framework also adds predictive autoscaling, anomaly detection, smart workload orchestrator and autoscale fault recovery to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the services. It is designed to be more scalable to applications that can be deployed and optimized based on the resource needs it has a more secure nature, a greater interoperability and business continuity, simplifies and minimises operational complexities, and costs less to operate due to the combination of the microservices architecture and cloud-native infrastructure, AI enhanced operation intelligence. The study provides a summary of the overall reference of the architecture of the enterprise interested in accelerating the digital transformation by smartly modernizing its cloud-native through Google Cloud Platform.
