Migrating a legacy application to the cloud is just a part of the challenge. Making sure that the application is performing well and that the operating system is patched and secured is another part. With OpsWorks, we can install the appropriate agent on a server running a legacy application and include the legacy server in our automated maintenance, updating, and patching scenarios. OpsWorks can simplify the way we manage legacy applications and help to bring them into the 21^st century.
