Become Cloud Native with Azure Application Lifecycle Management

Azure Application Lifecycle Management (AALM) covers all aspects needed to build, manage and improve your software application. With AALM, you are sure to improve the entire lifecycle of your application architecture and become (more) Cloud Native.

What is AALM?

You can see Azure Application Lifecycle Management (AALM) as an “umbrella” that covers multiple disciplines of your organization, like development, management, IT, and more.

AALM consists of multiple phases that cover an aspect of your application management. Good management always starts with planning. After a solid plan, you can begin developing, testing, and deploying. But it doesn’t stop there; you need to maintain and check that what has been built is still working well for you and your customers. And since nothing is static, you continuously need to adapt and improve. With these steps, you are continuously improving your application. That’s when the cycle starts again: by redefining your current situation and from that point creating a new plan for further improvement.

Adopting AALM means working smart with multiple people and/or teams. It is a continuous process in which frequent updates and releases are necessary to grow and improve. With a good integration of these phases, you enable your organization to collaborate more effectively.

What is are the benefits of AALM?

You want your application to be fit for the future. With good AALM, you transform your application and become Cloud Native. From a business perspective, this offers you the opportunity to stay relevant and build a future-proof business model.

For example:

  • Set up Azure DevOps and integrate with Git
  • Build from Infrastructure as a Code methodology
  • Build and manage APIs
  • Azure development capacity
  • Including good governance, best practices, cost management, application monitoring

Deliver your application to every end-user globally, scaling on demand and cutting costs. For example Azure Kubernetes Architecture, Platform as a Service (Paas), or Microservices / serverless

Optimize your software solution in various areas, like cost optimization, scaling opportunities, and performance.

For whom is AALM?

Becoming cloud-native is essential to survive during these times of digital transformation. It comes along with multiple challenges but also offers huge potential. To overcome these challenges and tap into the prospect of the Azure cloud, you need a structured approach and process like AALM.

AALM is for software organizations that want their application to become cloud-native and stay relevant in the future. It doesn’t matter if you are already on the Azure Cloud or want to migrate to Azure. AALM can offer you long-lasting benefits.
