Migration toolkit for runtimes

If you don't have a Red Hat OpenShift cluster but are modernizing applications to run in the cloud and containers, we recommend using the migration toolkit for runtimes. While it doesn't include capabilities that focus on application portfolio management and cross-team collaboration, it’s a powerful tool for analyzing application code, estimating effort, and accelerating code migration.
