When organisations search for ‘migration to cloud Azure’, they’re often evaluating how to move workloads into Microsoft’s ecosystem while minimising disruption. A successful move requires both technical planning and operational insight.
First, inventory your applications, databases and services. Workflow mapping helps determine which components can be lifted and shifted and which require refactoring. Define roles and access controls for Azure; in a cloud environment, privilege management is critical to security. Use Azure’s cost estimation tools to model total cost of ownership, including migration, licensing and ongoing management.
Choose from the 7R migration strategies; some workloads benefit from simple rehosting to Azure VMs, while others warrant replatforming to Azure SQL or refactoring into PaaS services. Automate data and application transfers to keep systems synchronised and reduce downtime. After migration, monitor resource utilisation and costs, and test performance against your KPIs.
Large Azure migrations can benefit from a migration factory approach to coordinate multiple workloads. You might work with Azure certified partners to design and implement the migration. Robust QA testing helps ensure that your migrated applications and data meet performance, compliance and security requirements.
