Frequently asked questions
What does it mean to modernise a workload?
Changing how an application runs to use cloud-native services, such as managed databases, containers or serverless functions, instead of traditional servers.
Which workloads are good candidates for Azure?
Web applications, file servers, line-of-business apps, backup and disaster recovery, and development or test environments are common starting points.
Who manages workloads after moving to Azure?
Your team, a managed service provider or both. Azure reduces infrastructure work, but monitoring, security and cost management are still needed.
