Not 100% agree.... The real modernization is keeping Power on Premise and cloud on a hybrid and transparent way (for example for DR) and start using Power Linux for heavy mission critical applications, either just traditional applications or modern ones with Openshift. So there is no one clear answer and probably if you are in Power , you will better stay on Power. Power architecture is most amazing one with high standards that let you save money either because you need less infrastructure, or less physical location and even less power supply for comparable capabilities. Here is a old but still valid paper about it (https://www.ibm.com/blog/top-ibm-power-systems-myths-x86-is-the-industry-standard/)
Modernization is crucial for staying ahead in today’s fast-paced tech environment. At Skytap - Kyndryl Company, we’ve seen firsthand how critical it is to ensure IBM Power workloads run smoothly in the cloud, and our approach with Microsoft Azure AI services aligns perfectly with the need for flexibility and innovation. Exciting times for those embarking on this journey!
For power applications moving to cloud, powerVS yields about 47% savings over Azure and AWS (x86) Public clouds.
This is great
Il Viaggio abbia inizio 😃

2wKey point for us to remember is that the right solution will depend on lots of factors vs OnPrem costs vs Cloud costs. If only dollars are considered there may be downstream issues that can bite you. If databases are virtual today, moving to the cloud is easier but when they grow into physical footprints, resiliency solutions change as well as networking too. Not taking a side as I like challenges but remember the right solution will require a good PoV. Typically I am not totally sold on leaving Power as it can be cloud like too as I have migrated workload off of AIX/Oracle to SoH while putting the HANA and primary instances on Power/SUSE and application workload on RHEL IBM Cloud. Yes the Power was anchored over two strategic data centers but you often see that in cloud sites that offer strategic services in key cloud data centers so workload can become anchored from a service perspective anyway. You also need to consider ingress and egress cloud costs as well and size of the DB’s can be a factor although HLI is an option on Azure. The network access for HLI is not the same as other virtual HANA options for Azure so you have to consider that as well. Anyway, there are lots of options. :)
