In this month's installment, you will hear from Nick Chase, Adam Parco, and Shaun O'Meara from Mirantis as well as our very special guest Alex Williams, Co-Founder and Publisher of The New Stack.

They kick things off with some baseline definitions of both "Legacy" and "Cloud Native" architectures, before moving on to industry trends supported by real world examples highlighting the value of Legacy vs Cloud Native workloads in those given environments. The discussion culminates with a deep dive into migrating legacy applications to cloud native ecosystems, aiming to answer the questions: how/when to do it, is it worth it, and where should you look first when moving forward with this undertaking?

A full list of this episode's topics include:

• Defining "Legacy" & "Cloud Native"
• Why Cloud Native over Legacy applications
• Open source technologies in the Cloud Native space
• Value of Cloud Native in regards to speed
• Security & compliance during Legacy migrations
• Security & compliance - an ongoing issue
• Emerging role of AI/ML tooling for security
• Will Kubernetes become Legacy one day?
• Conclusion: Migrating Legacy Apps worth it?
