Introducing Azure Websites Migration Assistant

We are excited to announce the general availability of the Azure Websites Migration Assistant. It is now publicly available at https://www.movemetothecloud.net.

Now you can easily migrate to Azure Websites from your existing websites that run on Internet Information Service (IIS) 6 or later. Azure Websites Migration Assistant can analyze your IIS server installation, identify which sites can be migrated to Azure Websites, highlight any elements that cannot be migrated or are unsupported on the platform, and then migrate your websites and associated databases to Azure with just a few clicks. Please take a look at this Getting Started Guide to learn how to use the tool and it’s limitations. Finally, please look at this recent blog post from Owais Shaikh to view short videos on how the Azure Websites Migration Assistant works.

If you are challenged in moving off of Windows Server 2003/2003R2 because you have some web sites that need to be moved, this could be your ticket!!
