The decision to migrate to Azure Cloud Services may seem as simple as just shifting IT infrastructure. However, there are some best practices and planning that must be followed for successful Azure migration.

1. Ten key steps for on-prem
to Azure Cloud migration

2. Azure Governance
must be the basis for
Azure migration
Azure Governance decides
what you can do and
cannot do on the Azure
platform.

3. Take into consideration
all IT- and department
Take into consideration all
IT- and department-specific
technology requirements
your company is likely to
have and choose a solution
that best aligns with them.

4. Take time and assess
your infrastructure
Run an assessment of scripts on
your VMs for a month at least for
good assessment. Also check
your inventory and contracts to
ensure all your applications are
supported on the new Azure
platform.

5. Do not re-build your
on-prem solution as is
on Azure
Adapt your applications to
the Azure framework for
smooth functioning.

6. Have a look at costs of
your solutions
Unlike on-prem solutions where
you pay a one-time hefty fee for
solutions you don't even need,
you only need to pay for what
you use. Have a good
subscription structure, role-
based access controls and
tagging policies to control and
divide costs.

7. Identity is a key part of
security on Azure
Use multi-factor authentication
and privileged data identity
management to ensure safety
of infrastructure and access.

8. Ensure your Azure
infrastructure is built to
meet the needs of all
stakeholders
Focus on a platform that brings
in value for every team in the
system.

9. Look at migration as
transformation
Build logical blocks for
transformation, ensure you
have all the required
approvals, have clearly
defined infrastructure needs.

10. Be up-to-date
Be up-to-date about the
evolving possibilities of the
platform to innovate on it.

11. Plan solutions end-to-end
Think about the framework,
resources, usability,
optimizations. Be more agile
and move on from on-premise.
