iZeno x Google Cloud Application Modernization Workshop

Continuing the workshop, the afternoon session was divided into Developer Team and Operation Team. The Developer Team was focusing on Containerization and Apigee and for Operation Team was focusing on Google Cloud Platform and CICD.

In the Developer Team, Kevin shared about Containerization which is the part of Application Modernization, which simply means automating the process for running an application and turning it into a package that can be deployed anywhere. Portability and flexibility are the main keys for containerization. In this workshop, iZeno discussed step-by-step how to do containerization and also most importantly the required skill set.

And Adrian Hartanto Winata shared about Apigee X. Apigee X is a powerful API management platform offered by Google Cloud Platform. It provides a range of capabilities and benefits that can greatly enhance the functionality and efficiency of legacy applications. It enables modernization, improves security, enhances scalability and performance, provides valuable insights, facilitates developer collaboration, and offers monetization opportunities, ultimately helping organizations maximize the value of their legacy systems in today’s digital landscape.

The other team which the Operation Team, Arif explained about Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The observability in Google Cloud with the increase in systems complexity and diversity, monitoring is not enough and observability is the key. Observability in Google Cloud is to collect information (metrics, logs and traces) from the Google Cloud Platform, and correlate them to provide comprehensive insight of the system. And continued the explanation about Google Cloud Operations Suite which provides tools and services to enable observability in Google Cloud Platform. With Google Cloud Operations Suite, understanding and gaining accurate insight of your GCP infrastructures and services will become easier.

Last but not least, Yohanes Irwan Rinaldy shared about Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). This is a software development approach aimed at accelerating and streamlining the software development, testing, and delivery cycle. CI/CD combines practices such as continuous integration, automated testing, and continuous delivery to improve the efficiency, quality, and reliability of software development.

By using CI/CD and tools like Cloud Build, development teams can reduce the time and effort required in software development, improve software quality through automated testing, and accelerate the delivery of software to end users. This helps teams to adapt quickly to changes, reduce risks, and enhance user satisfaction.

To wrap up the workshop, iZeno Team provided the end-to-end demo simulated and showed how easy the process is from development to deployment. With the help of CI/CD tools to automate the process of build and deployment it really helps reduce effort. Then iZeno also explained the capabilities of APIgee in full, ease of development and managing APIs

These topics covered in the workshop aimed to provide attendees with valuable insights into the ease of development and deployment, Google Cloud Foundation, Application Modernization, Containerization, Apigee X, Google Cloud Platform and CI/CD practices.

Overall, the objectives of this workshop event are to help attendees gain a better understanding of cloud migration and application modernization, provide guidance and expert assistance during the migration process, and equip businesses with the tools and resources they need to optimize their cloud-based infrastructure for maximum performance and cost-effectiveness.
