Migration isn’t just “move it to Azure.” In this Azure Decoded session, we’ll walk through a holistic, foundation-first approach to migrating and modernizing an on-prem estate — compute, databases, and apps — and then show what to do after you land: security, resiliency, monitoring, and optimization.

We’ll also highlight where newer “agentic” capabilities (Azure Copilot / GitHub Copilot–assisted workflows) fit into the journey, and how the new Migrate & Modernize Foundation VTD is structured to help practitioners pick the right path without drowning in theory.

What you’ll learn:

• Choose the right migration path. (rehost vs. replatform vs. refactor/re-architect) and see how CAF + landing zones and Azure Migrate fit into a practical plan.
• Map your workload mix to Azure targets — VM/AVS options for compute, and clear choices across SQL/Oracle/PostgreSQL/MySQL migration approaches and tooling.
• Modernize after the move: how to prioritize security + resiliency (e.g., Defender for Cloud concepts), plus the operational basics (monitoring, scaling, backup/DR) so the migration actually sticks.
