Google Cloud Introduces Modernize to Help Enterprises Move to AI-Driven Cloud

At a glance

Google Cloud has announced Google Cloud Modernize, a bundle of integrated tools that helps enterprises migrate and modernize their systems. Its core is using AI to analyze existing server setups, predict costs, and help move legacy software to new environments. The tools are grouped so they can be used in one place.

Key points

1. 1

   In Migration Center, users upload a server inventory file and AI quickly calculates cloud usage costs.

2. 2

   In Modernization Hub, AI analyzes source code for Java, .NET, and mainframe programs.

3. 3

   An automation tool for moving Kubernetes (a tool for managing container execution) workloads from AWS to Google's GKE has been released in public preview.

4. 4

   NetEase Games says it cut server scaling time from hours to five minutes and saved 40% on server costs.

Why it matters

Making old systems fit the AI era takes significant cost and time for companies, and these tools aim to reduce that burden.
