Summary

In this chapter, we have examined how to build a strategy for migrating workloads into Azure. We looked at the types of issues you must consider and the available tools for collating and documenting an as-is environment.

We then looked at what tools are available to perform VM and database migrations, including the different options available. Finally, we investigated the need to monitor and optimize post-migration, again looking at the other tools available to achieve this.

In the next chapter, we begin Section 4, Applications and Databases, and we start by comparing the different types of application components to choose from when building modern, cloud-native solutions.
