Migration Strategy
● Analyze the asset inventory
● Decide which migration approach
applies to the workload
● Decide which workloads will be
migrated first. (Phases)
● Estimate the Costs
● Align Plan

Migration Execution How we perform migrations?
• Cloud Migrations can be complex and a huge
undertaking.
• Therefore, we utilize a phased approach to
migrate workloads in phases. This approach is
less risky and reliable.
• Each workload is analyzed and prioritized to
identify what should be migrated first to have
minimum business impact.

• Transport Level Encryption (HTTPS)
• SMB 3.0 Encryption
Encryption in
Transit
• Data in Azure Storage and VMs is encrypted and
decrypted transparently using 256-bit AES
encryption
• Customers have the option provide their own
encryptions keys or use Microsoft managed keys.
Encryption at Rest
• Identity Access Management
IAM
• Restricting access based on the need to know and least
privilege. These access rights are granted by assigning the
appropriate Azure role to groups and applications at a
certain scope
Role-Based Access

• All Activity done on the Azure cloud

Modernization
Re-Architect
Cloud native applications are built from
the ground up—optimized for cloud
scale and performance. When
applications are built with a cloud native
mindset, businesses can bring software
and solutions to users faster and more
reliably.
Technologies used in Re-Architecting
● Microservices Architecture
● Containerization
● Serverless
● CICD

Re-Platforming
The re-platforming approach consists of
moving applications almost as is, while
replacing or lightly modifying some
components to take advantage of the
cloud. Customizing code might make
your enterprise app support scalability,
for example, but probably not with all
the desirable functionality of a cloud-
native app.
