Rapidly address your customer needs at scale without sacrificing functionality, security, or compliance.
In general, understand when to migrate versus modernize
-Migration:Move your existing apps to Azure in an optimized way—without code changes—using a lift-and-shift migration. As-is app migration to cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) helps you flip capital expenditures to operational expenditures and quickly gain agility and scale.
-Modernization: Modify or extend your app to further scale and optimize for cloud-native architectures. Take advantage of platform as a service (PaaS) capabilities such as built-in security, patching, high availability, and auto-scaling.
