When we talk about Migrating applications to the cloud is a critical process, and conducting a thorough assessment is the first step toward a successful migration.
Use Azure Migrate to automatically discover your on-premises environment. It provides an inventory of servers, applications, and databases.
Analyze dependencies between different applications and components to understand workloads and connectivity.
Evaluate which applications are suitable for migration using Azure Migrate’s assessment tools. These tools provide insights into cloud readiness, compatibility, and potential issues.
Azure Migrate can categorize applications by migration strategy: Rehost (Lift-and-Shift), Refactor, or Rearchitect.
Collect data on CPU, memory, disk, and network usage to determine the right Azure resources and VM sizes for your workloads.

Estimate cloud costs using Azure Migrate’s cost assessment tools. This includes pricing models for compute, storage, and networking based on your projected usage.
Identify compliance requirements for your applications (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) and plan accordingly.
Assess security needs and consider Azure services like Azure Security Center and Azure Policy for governance.
Azure's migration assessment tools provide a structured approach to evaluate and plan your application migration to azure. By assessing cloud readiness, performance, cost, and security, you can build a comprehensive migration strategy tailored to your business needs.
