I am looking to connect with any peers that have migrated their mainframe to the cloud or looking to do so. What have your experiences been and what advice do you have about the process?

The application purpose and value to users might push you in different directions. We had proprietary Fortran code running on our IBM 390 in the 1990’s to around 2009. We ported the code to Solaris, which didn’t work out too well and then did a rewrite of the application to Red Hat Linux. Due to the proprietary nature of the code we aren’t going to the cloud but who knows, decisions change all the time

I think the approach depends on the objective and desired outcome; whether it's a re-host with minimal changes (lift-and-shift), refactor with some changes for cloud efficiency, re-architect to break up monolithic application(s) to  microservices or containerization, or replacement to cloud Saas solutions.
