Migration to Azure cloud: 7 weeks implementation

Through our various projects, we have identified common pain points with our on-premise clients:

• developers struggling to deliver quality code quickly
• SRE teams spend too much time maintaining and patching the infrastructure
• difficulties for scaling and onboarding new clients
• low availability

At Padok, we believe that the best way to remedy these issues with Azure is:

1. Containerize your applications to facilitate local development, simplify deployments and decrease server maintenance

2. Migrate your containerized applications to Azure and leverage managed services to quickly set up scalable, secure, and highly available hosting solutions

To do so, our Azure experts work with your tech teams to help you migrate your infrastructure. Our migration goes as follows:

1/ Preparing the migration:

• Understanding your existing infrastructure
• Interviewing your developers and SREs to identify current pain points
• Designing the processes and target architecture in Azure
• Create a migration strategy and roadmap to ensure that your project finishes on time

2/ Migrating your applications:

• Containerize your existing applications
• Build the Azure landing zone using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Deploy Azure managed services such as App Service or AKS
• Leverage Azure DevOps to quickly set up fast and resilient CI/CD pipelines
• Setup precise monitoring dashboards using built-in Azure features or 3rd party services such as Datadog to increase observability and ensure a low mean time to recovery

3/ Training your teams:

• In-depth documentation to guide your teams in understanding and using your new infrastructure
• Train your teams to help them understand and implement Azure best practices in terms of user management, security, and hosting

All our projects are run using the lean methodology, which allows us to deliver quickly, without waste.

** The price and duration of the migration may differ depending on the complexity of the infrastructure
