Before moving data and applications to Azure,
companies have to assess the value and benefits
of undergoing such a change. The assessment has
work as well as a data component. Companies must
gauge the status of their workload, the space
needed for data storage, and the usage of
applications, especially their compatibility with

Machines, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and
Azure SQL Database are also chosen for achieving
desired performance and scalability. Businesses
also need to set objectives, define boundaries in
regard to security, and create a contingency plan
to ensure there are no disruptions during the
migration.

management, and security updates greatly assists
in keeping an optimized cloud environment.
Moreover, empowering staff to effectively work
with Azure services ensures maximization of the
cloud adoption benefits.
