This module guides you through the migration of an existing workload from an on-premises or cloud environment to Azure. It covers the migration of the compute to an Azure virtual machine (VM) and the data to Azure Database for PostgreSQL. The application is a cloud-agnostic sample that’s a stand-in for any real-world application that’s prepared for migration to the cloud.
In this unit, you explore the value of making the following transitions with the benefit of a full suite of security and identity controls that Azure provides:
- Shifting from a self-hosted environment (such as from a self-managed database) to a fully managed database offering
- Shifting from bare-metal compute to cloud-hosted VMs
You also explore the benefits of managing resources in the cloud from a cost and performance perspective. And you learn how to precisely calculate and manage costs before and after deployment, along with how to optimize performance from both a compute and a data perspective.
