Workload migration scenarios
In the previous section, we built our foundational understanding of the underlying infrastructure of Azure. We will continue to build on this knowledge by discussing the following common workload migration scenarios:
- Windows Server and Linux workloads
- SQL Server
- Containers
- VMware workloads
- SAP workloads
- HPC
