Compute Migration

Abstract

While planning to migrate from on-prem environments to Azure, the similarities and dissimilarities of the design concepts should be taken into consideration. In the initial phases, instead of complete migration, organizations typically prefer to use a hybrid cloud approach where part of the resources remain on-premise, and the architecture is designed to leverage Azure resources as well. Whatever the preferred approach is, it is important for an architect to understand the existing infrastructure landscape and to identify equivalent components in Azure to facilitate a smooth migration.
