What are Data Migration Options in Azure?

Azure offers powerful data migration options to move infrastructure, applications, and data to the cloud. Key tools include Azure Migrate for unified assessment and migration, Data Migration Assistant for SQL databases, Database Migration Service, App Service Migration Assistant for web apps, and Azure Data Box for large offline transfers. The Lift and Shift strategy (IaaS) enables quick rehosting with minimal changes, offering significant cost savings by reducing hardware, energy, maintenance, and security expenses. Moving to the cloud streamlines operations and cuts costs—$313.9/month for cloud servers vs. $1476.31/month for on-premises.
