The One Migrate approach to migrating the IT portfolio

Azure and Azure Migrate are both well known for hosting Microsoft technologies. But you might not be aware of Azure's ability to support migrations beyond Windows and SQL Server. The One Migrate scenarios captured in the Migrate methodology demonstrate the same set of consistent guidelines and processes for migrating both Microsoft and third-party technologies.

Migration scenarios

The following diagram and table outline a number of scenarios that follow the same iterative Migrate methodology for migration and modernization.

Virtual machines	Virtual machines	Linux servers	Virtual desktops
Applications	ASP.NET	Java	PHP
Data	SQL Server	Open-source databases	Analytics
Hybrid	Azure Stack	VMware
Technology platforms	SAP (classic and HANA)	Kubernetes	Mainframes
Additional scenarios	Secure workloads	Multitenant environments	NetApp

Migrate methodology

In each of the preceding migration scenarios, the same basic process will guide your efforts as you move your existing workloads to the cloud, as shown here:

In each scenario, you'll structure migration waves to guide the releases of multiple workloads. Establishing a cloud adoption plan and Azure landing zones through the plan and Ready methodologies helps to add structure to your migration waves.

During each iteration, follow the Migrate methodology to assess, deploy, and release workloads. To modify those processes to fit your organization's specific scenario, select any of the migration scenarios listed in the table.
