Summary

Assessing the current architecture and workloads is a very important part of a migration project, as we learned in this chapter. For this, we used Azure Migrate to create a solid assessment report. We also discussed tools for calculating cost savings on Azure and went through a hands-on lab for a migration assessment.

In this chapter, we also discussed some of the popular workloads on Linux, including the LAMP stack and database servers. We also covered some of the more technically difficult scenarios regarding high-performance computing, clustering, shared storage, and SAP applications.

In the Pre-project preparations section, the importance of involving the right project team members was also covered as this ensures that you have all the necessary skills, including networking and Linux administration, for your migration project.

The next chapter will focus on practical migration, and you will have the opportunity to use everything learned so far in a hands-on lab...
