WS050T00: Migrating Application Workloads to Azure

Migrating Application Workloads to Azure

This workshop teaches IT Professionals how to migrate existing on-premises workloads and assets to the cloud, specifically to the Microsoft Azure platform. You learn how to assess and evaluate an existing on-premises environment in preparation for a cloud migration. You also learn how to monitor and optimize your Azure-based workloads to maximize return on investment (ROI) and use Azure services to protect and manage your virtual machines, applications, and data.
