Migrating Smarter: Azure Migration & Modernization Services

January 1, 2025 | Devi Sahoo , Azure

Legacy applications drain resources and limit agility. Azure Migration & Modernization services provide enterprises with tools, methodologies, and cost-effective cloud adoption paths.

What is Azure Migration & Modernization?

It’s a set of services and frameworks that help organizations assess workloads, migrate seamlessly, and modernize applications using cloud-native architectures.

Benefits:

  • Cost savings with pay-as-you-go.
  • Improved scalability and reliability.
  • Modernized apps via containers and microservices.

Industry Example – Financial Services:
A mid-sized bank migrated its on-prem core banking workloads to Azure SQL Managed Instance. This cut infrastructure costs by 25% and improved disaster recovery with geo-redundant backups.

Implementation Steps

  1. Assessment – Use Azure Migrate to analyze dependencies.
  2. Migration Execution – Lift-and-shift or refactor workloads.
  3. Modernization – Adopt PaaS, AKS, or serverless functions.

Example: A global airline modernized its booking engine by moving from VMs to containerized workloads in AKS, enabling 50% faster releases.

Conclusion

Azure Migration & Modernization is not just about moving workloads—it’s about unlocking new agility, cost efficiency, and resilience.
