Regarding MS Azure Services for Middleware Tech Stacks

Veeramani M 0

Dear MS Azure Team,

We are looking for your recommendation to choose the best practice of MS Azure Services to the below On-Premises Middleware Technologies.

IBM WebSphere Application Server
Oracle WebLogic Server
MS IIS
JBoss
Apache Tomcat.

Note : Not looking for VMs to rebuild the above infra on cloud whereas need a minimal/less rework on infra and no Application code changes.
Thank you.

Regards,

Veeramani M

Can you describe a little bit more on what you plan to do with Azure? Are you migrating applications from those on-premise technologies to Azure? The requirement of "no application code changes" is impossible as even the tinest things like authentication methods can be different, which requires extensive changes to the code base. If possible, hire experienced cloud consultants to review your applications and they can provide in-depth guidance on what migration options you might have and how large the code changes and costs might be.

Thank you @Lex Li for your input. What we are looking for is, Trying to Migration on-Prem Application Servers in to Azure cloud but the cloud service should be capable of the On-Prem Application Server.
For e.g,: The following On-Prem AppServer needs to migrate into cloud but it should be suitable Azure Offering service which has less infra work.

IBM WebSphere Application Server = ?

Oracle WebLogic = ?

Apache Tomcat = ?

MS IIS =?

JBoss =?

Thank you.

Note: We do not have a plan to migrate as is or lift and shift from Infra server level migration. Purely looking for opt able existing Azure suitable service.

Thank you @Lex Li for your input. But we are looking for Azure inbuilt/usable services for the On-Prem AppServer to be migrated into Azure cloud.

For business justification, We are looking for the market percentage who has already migrated On-Prem Middleware Application Servers into Azure cloud.

IBM WebSphere AppServer = ?

Oracle WebLogic Server=?

MS IIS =?

Apache Tomcat =?

JBoss =?

In worst case, we would like to know how better the above application servers could be migrated into Azure Cloud?
