About Azure

In February 2010, Microsoft unveiled its Azure cloud computing platform. To put it simply, Microsoft Azure is a platform for agile cloud computing that customers can utilise to create, manage, and distribute apps and services through Microsoft data centres.  

Microsoft Azure has more than 200 physical data centres across the globe, and each one contains many linked computer servers.  

Here are some primary facts in detail about Microsoft Azure:  

  • Flexibility: Azure is adaptable and change the computing resources as needed.  
  • The support for practically every OS, language, tool, and framework is open.  
  • Reliability: 99.95% availability is dependable. Service-level agreements and round-the-clock technical assistance  
  • Global: Geosynchronous data centres host data  
  • Cost-effective: pay for what you use  
  • It is affordable and easily flexible; azure cloud service is the greatest public cloud service available.  

Azure Migrate: What is it?

With the use of a single platform, Microsoft’s Azure Migrate product enables enterprises to monitor the discovery, assessment, and migration of on-premises workloads and data to the Azure environment.  

Process of Azure Migration

Application and workload migration to Azure is done in four steps

Stage 1: Evaluate  

You must formally state your migration-related goals and objectives during the initial step. The next step is determining how much money you can save by moving your on-premises infrastructure to the cloud. Microsoft has a helpful calculator that may help you with this.  

For the final step of the Assess phase, you must create a list of all the applications—that is, all the physical and virtual servers—that you’re employing in your on-premises environment. You may map your servers using this data and find dependencies and requirements. It will assist you in deciding which apps to move to the cloud first, giving your Azure migration strategy a solid basis based on business goals and any dependencies.  

Stage 2: Move  

For the second step of the cloud migration process, you must choose your cloud migration strategy. There are several options available.  

Stage 3 of the Rearchitect Rebuild: Optimise  

Once you have selected a cloud migration strategy that meets your goals and objectives and successfully migrated your on-premises setup to Azure, you’re prepared to optimise. Corporate operations and cloud computing expenses may both be optimised.  

Stage 4: Manage and Secure  

The final stage of the Azure cloud migration process is all about security. Microsoft offers a variety of industry-leading security products and services that offer complete visibility into possible security issues and better cloud security administration. Microsoft provides you with all the tools you need, from Azure Security Center to Azure Log Analytics, to protect the data in your cloud environment and keep an eye on its health so you can be sure of its security and top performance.
