Microsoft Azure for Beginners: Azure Migration Best Practices — Part 24
Azure offers various services and tools to help organizations migrate their workloads to the cloud. This blog post discusses some best practices for migrating workloads to Azure.
Analyze your current environment
Before migrating workloads to Azure, it is essential to analyze your current environment. This includes identifying the workloads you want to migrate and assessing their dependencies and compatibility with Azure.
You can use tools such as Azure Migrate to analyze your current environment. Azure Migrate provides insight into the dependencies between your workloads and helps you determine which workloads you can migrate.
Among other things, Azure Migrate can collect the following information :
- Basic information about the machines such as name, operating system, available system resources, etc
- Overview of the applications running on the machines, including version, used network ports, configuration files, and any dependencies
- Network and connectivity information, for example, IP address & subnet, default gateway, DNS server, and firewall settings
- Performance data, for example, CPU and memory usage, network traffic, and disk usage
Any dependencies the workloads may have with other systems or services
