Early engagement and support will lead to a smoother, faster migration process.  \n Create a strategic plan  \nEstablish objectives and priorities for cloud migration. Plan around major business events and identify quick wins, like moving applications with just a few dependencies to expedite your migration.  \n Calculate total cost of ownership  \nCreate a personalized business case for migration by using the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculator to plan for costs and estimate your potential savings.  \n Discover and assess on-premises applications  \nBefore migrating, inventory all on-premises servers, and assess dependencies. With Azure Migrate, you have an inventory  \nStrengthen security and save  \nEnd of support for 2008 servers is coming soon. Prioritize migration of workloads running on SQL Server and Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 to Azure and get Extended Security Updates at no additional cost to you.  \nLearn more  \nmechanism to help you as you move into subsequent steps. During migration, use Azure Migrate to better understand VMs and app dependencies of your migration.  \n Get support for your implementation  \nMany organizations opt for outside help to support their  \ncloud migration. To move to Azure quickly and confidently with personalized assistance, consider an Azure Expert Managed Service Provider or FastTrack for Azure.  \n Build your team’s skills  \nA solid training foundation is important for successful organizational change. Check out the free training available on Microsoft Learn, including courses on Azure fundamentals, solution architecture, and security. Encourage your team to explore Azure certification as well.  \n Know your migration options  \nThere are several different migration strategies including rehosting, refactoring, andrearchitecting. To start, try rehosting, often referred to as “lift-and-shift” migration.  \nThis approach lets you migrate applications as they are, without the risk or expense of code changes.  \n Pilot your migration with a few workloads  \nProve success in your migration journey by assessing and migrating low complexity workloads as a pilot.  \nPerform a pilot by migrating physical servers or VMs from on-premises to Azure using Azure Site Recovery.  \nPerform a pilot by migrating databases from on-premises to Azure using Azure Database Migration Service.  \n Migrate your remaining workloads to Azure  \nWith a successful pilot, you will be ready to migrate at scale. Use learnings and tools from the pilot to complete your workload migration to Azure.  \nDecommission existing on-premises infrastructure  \nAfter a successful migration and verification, determine the decommissioning process foryour on-premises systems. The goal is to reduce your IT overhead and time spent managing outdated infrastructure.  \n Optimize, secure, and manage your migrated workloads  \nAfter migration, continue to optimize usage and savings. Azure empowers you to keep improving with Azure Cost Management and Azure Security Center. Learn more about security and management best practices.  \nMake the move to Microsoft Azure  \nMigrating to Azure gives you the freedom to build, manage, and deploy applications on a massive global network—all while using your organization’s favorite tools and frameworks.  \nInnovation  \nFocus on business innovation with fully managed Azure services and tools to modernize your applications.  \nSecurity and compliance  \nStrengthen your security posture with the most compliance certifications of any cloud provider.  \nBegin your migration journey  \nThe Azure Migration Center has the tools and resources you need to begin migra","cbCaidtnWY4RfRao","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidtnWY4RfRao","pdf",98568,"English","# Cloud migration checklist\n## Identify and involve stakeholders\n## Create a strategic plan\n## Calculate total cost of ownership\n## Discover and assess on-premises applications\n## Strengthen security and save\n## Get support for your implementation\n## Build your team’s skills\n## Know your migration options\n## Pilot your migration with a few workloads\n## Migrate your remaining workloads to Azure\n## Decommission existing on-premises infrastructure\n## Optimize, secure, and manage your migrated workloads\n## Begin your migration journey","[{\"question\":\"What are the first steps to start a cloud migration to Microsoft Azure?\",\"answer\":\"Engage key IT and business stakeholders, create a strategic plan with objectives and quick wins, and calculate the total cost of ownership using a TCO approach.\"},{\"question\":\"How should on-premises applications be prepared for migration?\",\"answer\":\"Inventory all on-premises servers and assess dependencies.
