John Mosquera was tasked with modernizing a client's legacy application hosted on Azure Virtual Machines (VMs). The client faced high operational costs, limited scalability, and inconsistent performance. To address these issues, John proposed transitioning the application to a containerized architecture using Docker and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). This involved assessing the existing infrastructure, refactoring the application into microservices, and implementing a CI/CD pipeline for deployment.
