Migrating to Azure

Design an enterprise solution from scratch that allows the migration of a legacy application. Begin with the planning and design phase and be guided through all the stages of selecting the architecture framework that fits your enterprise.

Join Microsoft MVP Josh Garverick as he addresses all major areas of design and implementation-application, infrastructure, data, security, and deployment-while leveraging the power and tools of Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) to bring DevOps to the forefront.

With an emphasis on principles and best practices of enterprise design, you will discover how to recognize existing patterns within the legacy platform and to identify potential risks, bottlenecks, and candidates for automation.
