Modernizing Legacy PHP Infrastructure: From Anywhere to Cloud-Native

Your PHP application runs reliably?but on infrastructure from another era. Whether it's bare metal in a data center, VMs on a cloud provider stuck in 2015, or poorly architected AWS infrastructure deployed before your team knew better, you know it's time to modernize. But where do you start?

This talk guides you through the strategic and tactical decisions involved in modernizing legacy PHP infrastructure, regardless of where it currently lives. We'll explore three critical migration paths: escaping aging data centers for modern cloud platforms, moving from stagnant cloud providers that haven't evolved (OpenStack, CloudStack, outdated hosting platforms), and re-architecting existing cloud infrastructure using modern, well-architected patterns within the same provider.

You'll learn how to assess your current infrastructure's technical debt, build a migration roadmap that minimizes risk and downtime, and leverage modern tools like Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and infrastructure-as-code to create resilient, scalable systems?all while keeping your PHP application running for your users.
