Azure Database Migration Service

• Azure Database Migration Service (DMS)
  streamlines moving on-premises databases to
  Azure, supporting SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and
  PostgreSQL. Prioritize factors like volume,
  performance, tools, and validations for a
  successful transition.
• One-time Migration Move a database to Azure once
  and leave it running in Azure.
• Lift and Shift Migrate an on-premises database
  to Azure and keep the same database engine
  running in Azure.
• Change the Engine Migrate an on-premises
  database to Azure, but change the database engine
  running in Azure to a different one.

Migrating Applications to Azure Challenges and
Solutions
1. Upgrading skills- Migrating to Azure requires
skills enhancement, especially for legacy
systems. Invest in training or hire experts to
grasp cloud design, provisioning, and
auto-scaling. 2. DevOps migration- Minimize
disruption during migration with data tools, like
Azure DevOps, preserving work item numbers and
Git IDs. Leverage Azure's infrastructure and
Microsoft's guidance. 3. Data Security Risk-
Beware of data security risks when moving to
Azure. Local data may face new threats when
stored or processed on remote servers. Seek
robust solutions.
