Cut Through the Chaos

If you’ve worked on a cloud migration, you already know—it’s not just about moving workloads. It’s about navigating ambiguity. Mapping services. Aligning teams. Untangling legacy architecture. Making decisions that won’t come back to bite you six months down the line.

We built the Azure Migration Hub to bring order to that mess. It’s not a campaign or a marketing layer. It’s a guide—built by architects, engineers, and field teams who’ve done this work at scale—designed to help others do it better. The Migration Hub offers a structured path forward, connecting strategy, architecture patterns, and tooling guidance in the sequence real teams actually need. It also incorporates Azure Essentials best practices, which facilitate a smoother and more efficient transition to the cloud by ensuring that teams follow proven methodologies and leverage the most effective tools and resources available.   Whether you’re a startup making your first move or an enterprise wrestling with a complex hybrid footprint, this is the map we wish we had.

Built for the Way Teams Actually Work

A common theme we’ve heard: it’s not that there’s no documentation—it’s that there’s too much, and none of it’s connected. The Migration Hub doesn’t add to the noise. It organizes what matters, in the order teams need it, grounded in real-world migration phases—from discovery to post-cutover optimization.

We’ve included GitHub-hosted code samples that go beyond “getting started.” You’ll find production-grade examples of data platforms, multi-tier web apps, and other common workloads—designed to reflect how modern teams actually build. These samples are opinionated, extensible, and especially helpful for teams migrating from other cloud providers. Mapping services is one thing. Mapping patterns is harder. The Hub helps with both.

We’ve also invested in deep, scenario-based guidance for some of the most requested migrations. For example, if you’re moving from AWS Lambda to Azure Functions, the Hub provides end-to-end support—from architecture mapping and event triggers to deployment pipelines and integration patterns. Similarly, for teams shifting containerized applications, we’ve included guidance on how to replicate a web workload from Amazon EKS to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), covering everything from cluster setup to network integration and operational readiness. These aren’t just reference docs—they’re field-informed paths designed to help teams move with confidence.

And while many resources stop at provisioning, the Migration Hub is scenario-based and end-to-end. It walks through the full lifecycle—strategy, architecture, tooling, deployment—surfacing blockers and known pitfalls along the way. It’s the kind of guidance you can trust to make smart decisions and avoid rework.

A Living Resource for Teams of All Sizes

Stale docs are worse than none at all. The content in the Migration Hub is actively maintained by teams who work closely with customers and update guidance as tools evolve, patterns shift, and lessons emerge. You won’t find PDFs from two years ago. You’ll find what’s working right now.

And this isn’t just for the enterprise. Startups will find practical guidance that respects velocity and simplicity. Mid-sized companies get a playbook to scale with confidence. Enterprises will find structured strategy, cross-team alignment, and architectural depth. Different sizes, same goal: move to Azure without losing momentum.

Migration isn’t a checklist. It’s a long-term strategy. The Azure Migration Hub was built to help you lead with clarity—backed by guidance shaped in the field, not the abstract. Use what fits. Adapt what doesn’t.
