Cloud Cookbook for Application Modernization at FOAG

This document is a guide detailing the creation of a 'cloud cookbook' for the Federal Office for Agriculture (FOAG) focused on modernizing existing applications. The guide addresses the need for the FOAG to transition from outdated, non-cloud-native technologies to a cloud-native framework due to regulatory constraints that prevent direct infrastructure scans. T-Systems provided a comprehensive strategy that includes best practices, examples, and recommendations for cloud-native application modernization. The cookbook emphasizes a future mode of operation (FMO) rather than simply replicating the existing setup through lift-and-shift migrations. It outlines a clear framework for transitioning to public cloud solutions, ensuring scalability and efficiency while aligning with long-term goals. The guide aims to empower FOAG to navigate the complexities of cloud adoption and enhance operational capabilities in the Swiss agricultural sector.
